- lenerdenator 2y agoIt's possible, but ultimately it's hard to tell, especially in regard to the American users. The results of the election would point to the idea that most American voters aren't so perturbed by what's happening in Gaza as to want an administration that would be at least as effective in reeling in the Israelis as the Biden administration was. Whether that's right or wrong, well, that's another discussion. It's a chicken-or-the-egg problem. Do people not talk about Gaza on Facebook because it's censored, or do people not talk about Gaza on Facebook because no one was talking about it to begin with?
- spencerflem 2y agoWhich party should I vote for to help the people of Gaza?
- lenerdenator 2y agolol, doesn't matter at this point. Given the history I'd say that the incoming administration will be less sympathetic to the Gazans than the outgoing, but, again, it doesn't matter at this point.

- FrontierProject 2y ago>that most American voters aren't so perturbed by what's happening in Gaza as to want an administration that would be at least as effective in reeling in the Israelis as the Biden administration was. It's not hard to be at least as capable as somebody who's completly incapable. Think what you will of Trump, but in one meeting he had a solid deadline for implementing the ceasefire agreement the Biden admin has had floating since May. There weren't even any changes to it, so what the heck has Biden been doing?
- spencerflem 2y agoI'm with you that Biden has been doing worse than nothing, and has been stringing us along with this ceasefire that will never come, while at the same time using UN to block any sort of resolution. But don't kid yourself that Trump is better. He supports the settlement of the West Bank and has recognized Jerusalem as exclusively Israeli. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/11/trump-cabinet-israel-settlers-gaza-west-bank-annexation.html https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/11/trump-cabinet-is... The Republicans are just as on board with the genocide as the Democrats are, if not more.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoThe question is whether it's a ruinous empathy thing. It's much too early for me to be confident that the current ceasefire is actually going to work better than the last one. But if it does, it's a pretty strong data point for the idea that credibly taking either side is better for the Palestinian people than flailing around trying to support both.
- spencerflem 2y agoIs this in favor of a one state solution, with Israel being the one state? genuinely confused - Biden has not been remotely empathic towards Palestine.

- School-Cotton 2y agoThe Biden administration was obviously not effective at reeling in Israel at all.
