Some of the American ones got their faces eaten by leopards:

“Many people expressed that concern, that maybe it was a mistake to vote for President Trump,” Hamad added.

Some Arab Americans who voted for Trump say they are concerned about his picks for key positions

where did the free Palestine protestors go

Well a bunch of them got expelled, deported, blacklisted, arrested, and more. Many of their organizations were forcibly disbanded, and the campuses where they were active have been thoroughly militarized.

Tbf he did tell us he was going to do this before the election, but “blue maga” was in vogue at the time.

Look up the word “genocide” in your posting history.

This is you. You care way more about what a bunch of american voted than the actual genocide. You’re spending way more energy whining about your stupid elections than trying to do something about the genocide.

You don’t give a fuck about foreigners. You only care about yourself and your country. You don’t deserve to win elections.

Hi there. This is the second thread I’ve seen you post this rhetoric. As an American who lives 6000 miles away from Israel, what exactly are you expecting? You want us to all take up arms, fly over the Atlantic Ocean and fight? If you are going to harshly condemn Americans actions, then at least provide a reasonable alternative to these actions.

The reality is Americans are doing this because elections is a way a lot of us feel like we can make a difference (regardless of the validity of these beliefs). To people who lack the ability to make predictions, the presidential election seemed like a lose/lose scenario regarding the topic of the Genocide of Palestinians. To people who have the ability to make predictions, they understood that voting Trump into power would result in more harm coming to the Palestinians, so we reluctantly went out and voted for Harris.

Here we are today, and most of our predictions regarding Trump is coming true, so some of us are now trying to rub it in the faces of the Americans who probably should have voted for Harris, but decided to sit home or vote third party on election day…

Now, I do hear you though. Ultimately, it sucks the most for Palestinians who are living the Genocide. Unfortunately, there isn’t much the average American can do about it, so we instead focus on topics that feel more practical (like the elections and American politics).

Bruv we want the government to stop sending bombs! The citizens don’t have control over the government, not anymore. The only thing we have in the system is a rigged voting platform, and a lot of people are trying to do the best we can with that.

I understand, and I wish we could just halt some of the actions of those in power here in America, but that is not a realistic ask.

Also, you should care. Because there is a major difference between the prior genociders and the current genociders in power. The Trump administration dehumanizes the Palestinians, so they have zero ethical qualms about allowing the genocide to continue. In fact, they want to speed it up so that they can put a “ended the conflict between Israel and Palestine” trophy up on their proverbial shelf.

At least the Biden/Harris administration viewed the Palestinians as human beings still and were wrestling with the ethical violation. Now, I wish they did better. With a president Harris, there would at least been some hope that she would eventually put Palestinians lives ahead of geopolitical goals. With a Trump administration, there is miniscule hope that they will ever side with the Palestinians.
