Summary
Rightwing Israeli settlers and nationalist Zionists are praising Donald Trump’s incoming administration, describing it as a “dream team” for advancing settlement expansion and undermining the possibility of a Palestinian state.
Trump’s appointments, including Mike Huckabee and Pete Hegseth, openly support Israeli occupation and oppose a two-state solution.
Palestinian groups and leftwing NGOs warn these developments embolden policies like home demolitions in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as expanded settlement construction.
Activists liken Trump’s policies to a biblical realignment favoring Israel’s territorial claims, exceeding even his first-term pro-Israel actions.

Or terrorists.
Both work in this case, but “settlers” is way too sanitary a term for what’s happening here.
Lebensraum enjoyers.
But I was told they were the same…
i still can’t believe that lie worked on people…
The choice was crying while doing the genocide or doing the genocide with a shit eating grin. From the perspective of someone who doesn’t want a genocide they are identical.
When both parties enthusiastically support a war of genocide, it’s fair to say they’re the same, yes.
And that’s how you’ll be justifying it for the next 4 years. Awesome job. I sure hope Kamala learned her lesson.
Obviously not. Remember when significant percentages of people in the primaries voted ‘unaffiliated’ or ‘undecided’ with the express purpose of communicating to the administration that they wanted the weapons shipments to stop?
Biden/Harris ignored them.
It’s one thing to refuse to change policy. It’s another to refuse to change policy, support the bombing of kids, AND tell the voters to go fuck themselves.
They’re the same as long as this war continues. Trump is worse in “peace” time, but it doesn’t seem we’re getting that any time soon.
he’s emboldening world leaders enacting genocide. netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he’s enacting. zelenskyy, long a leader saying Ukraine would never give up any territory is planning to enter diplomatic peace talks and loss of territory will almost certainly be part of that.
your ignorance is embarrassing to observe. literally every cabinet pick so far has been a hardcore pro-israel or pro-russia pick.
So first I never said anything about Ukraine. Second,
netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he’s enacting.
He’s been accelerating it for a while, what with the ethnic cleansing of North Gaza and all that. We’re seeing the next stage in a genocide that was accelerating anyway.

I said nothing about Russia so I’ll just ignore that part, but pro-Israel? What is he going to do that Blinken and Biden didn’t?
i brought up ukraine because all the active genocides, the ones in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, the Congo, and the Gobi desert are interconnected. our world’s billionaires want us to blame minorities for our problems instead of them. i want to make it abundantly clear i think harris and biden suck, but it’s definitively not the same things under trump. the top ten billionaires are all already richer and our new regime will do nothing to hear us and slow these genocides. they will accelerate genocide and reduce our ability to find truth by inundating us with bullshit narratives about how it’s the left (the actual left, people like me) who are bad, actually.
this is definitively a worsening, and acting like it’s not means you’re more likely to get caught standing still when you need to be resisting. i am under the impression you think you’re helping, which is a good start, but you need to start looking at the bigger picture. get on board with that the modern world is fully interconnected, and that everything is about to get way more authoritarian than you’ve grown accustomed to, when it was already very authoritarian
Leftists: How could it get any worse?
Trump: Hold my beer.
Nazis that voted for Trump: I can’t believe we’re helping the fucking Jews now…
Most of Israel is rightwing mostly because of conspiracy theories around the assassination of Yitzhak Rabbin.
They’re a post-culture war society, and they lost. It would be like of the views of the Trump administration just kept getting more and more popular until the country was 85% Trump supporters.
