Summary
Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.
Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.
While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.
Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.
This is from June 2020.
This is from July 2023.
Here’s an entire wiki page about all they’ve been doing in the West Bank since 1967.
This is nothing new, it’s just a next step that would have been taken regardless.
Then I guess it would have been a better idea to vote for Harris to avoid all the stuff that will be new. You know, like the new concentration camps in the U.S.
Democrats iftas have been paving the way for those concentration camps, but that’s a deflection from the conversation. Harris and Biden was shit for Palestine and didn’t deserve another chance to continue the path they were headed. Liberals refusing to hold their people accountable allowed this to happen.
You got your wish and it will be Trump instead of Harris. Weird that you don’t seem happy about it.
a mod encouraging slapfighting…?
Trump wasnt my wish. Getting rid of Republicans and Democrats is my wish.
It’s a two party system. It was going to be either Harris or Trump. That’s just a hard fact. You didn’t want Harris. There was only one other outcome. So you got your wish.
And voters keep it a two-party system. And it’ll never get better if people don’t start holding their politicians accountable, which means that if they don’t work for the benefit of the worldwide public they don’t get reelected.
Yes they do. And because of that, the choices were Harris or Trump. There was no imaginary third option in 2024.
Again, you didn’t want Harris, so you got your wish.
You are struggling so hard to understand it’s not a specific person I didn’t want, it’s an ideology I don’t want.
But if you wanted a replacement for right wing authoritarianism posing as progressive she would have been the perfect person for you.
