The first of many answers to "how could it possibly get worse for the Palestinians under Trump?"

None of this matters now. Things just got even worse for Gaza.

Despite the Democrats’ total fealty to Israel..

Wow. Just wait then. If people thought Biden and Harris were hawks...

Then they bail and leave him for the next drone, or to burn alive... With friends like these, who needs enemies?

What's next? You going to tell me Alta Vista doesn't do search anymore?

What if we had given them an iPad aith CandyCrush that just works

We'll know the answer in just a few more years here. Whole generation growing up that way currently.

Because the policy isn't going to change before the election. Harris would be stupid to alienate Jewish voters going into the election. All of your philosophical discussion of morality means nothing if Trump is reelected. Objectively, Palestinians will suffer far greater under Trump than Harris. The protesters have a decision with actual consequences on front of them. If they help Trump get elected, I don't see how that = a moral choice in anyone's mind. I believe enough will come around. If not, we all suffer the consequences. Simple as that.

Also, you act as though the needle isn't moving yet I see stories like this on my feed:

US threatens Israel with arms shipment suspensions over Gaza conditions

I don't agree that the Dems need to change policy to win. Sure they could pick up some votes from the left but would sacrifice votes from other areas to achieve that. At the end of the day, those protesting will need to decide, Trump or not Trump. I hope enough of them will decide Harris is better and hold their noses, vote, then work from the inside on changing policy. That could actually work. If they don't, and they help Trump get elected, things will be infinitely worse for the Palestinians.

My plan is to ignore nay sayers and vote and help others vote. Thought I was pretty clear about that.

So basically ignore people like you... Vote anyway. That's the plan.

Yes. Of the two choices, I think obviously. Remember Trump's record on Israel?

Just voting Harris and mobilizing others to do the same. That's the plan, regardless of how the poll numbers change. The media spin changes from day to day and will continue to until election day.

I'm looking for new ways to get the vote out in my area now. We just need enough ppl to go vote. We have the numbers.

Consider the teachings of Buddhism: “The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.”

Now, calm your mind and meditate on the knowledge that Cards Against Humanity does not have time for this shit.

The original joke from the link above:

It is 1939 and a Soviet army is marching on Finland. As they pass the border, they hear a Finnish voice over the hill; "One Finnish soldier is better than 10 Soviet soldiers!"

The Soviet general laughs, as he sends 10 men on the hill to capture it. There is gunfire for a minute and then everything goes silent for a moment, and they then hear the same voice; "One Finnish soldier is better than a hundred of yours!"

Annoyed, the Soviet general sends hundred men to capture the hill. There is gunfire and bombs going for ten minutes, and everything goes silent again. Suddenly, the same voice yells out; "One Finnish soldier is better than thousand of Soviet soldiers!"

Enraged, the general sends a thousand men, accompanied with tanks, artillery, mortar teams, and tells them to not return until the hill is theirs. For half an hour hell breaks loose, bombs and explosions, gunfire, screams and death all around, and then it goes silent again. One Soviet soldier crawls back, severely wounded and battered. Before the general could say anything, the soldier says;

"Do not send more troops, comrade general, it's a trap! There is two of them."
