    Trump would be openly supporting the complete removal of the Palestinian people from Gaza. There likely wouldn’t have been any ceasefires, and there would be no voices from the US behind the scenes pushing Israel to moderate what they’re doing. Without a doubt, the situation in Gaza would be worse right now if Trump were president.

      I’d argue the situation in Gaza would be exactly the same. The only thing that would be different is the political language around it all. Asking Israel nicely to maybe genocide less people, vs not doing that at all is going to lead to the same outcome, which is Israel continuing to do whatever they want while we send them money.

      There are core imperialist efforts that neither party will ever push back on because it’s political suicide. Israel and this genocide are one of them.
