And now the people in Gaza are really fucked. I predict as soon as the Trump administration takes office, Israel will start colonizing Gaza and the West Bank and no one will stop them.

Blinken and McGurk were egging Netanyahu along this whole time while lying to us about trying to constrain him and would have remained in Kamala's administration and capitulated just as much as Trump, if not more so, with Liz Cheney as secretary of defense.

Agreed, except the last part. Harris would at least try to keep Israel in check to make it seem the US has some kind of moral high ground. Trump doesn't care about morals and even less about gazans.

This kind of moral high ground? Or this kind? Or maybe that one? Or this? Or this?

There's nothing but open contempt there already.
