Some of what you said is relevant, but none of it has to do with Palestinians. That's my fucking point. I said a million times Trump is worse, but for Palestinians it makes no difference.

Israel decides to “annex” the West Bank. The settlers who are forcing Palestinians out of their family homes will have the backing of the IDF/US military. The people who are displaced will be executed.

They are already working towards that, they've been annexing the west bank for a long while, and they don't need US troops for it.

This is from 2020.

This is from July 2023.

Here's an entire wiki page about all they've been doing since 1967.

US troops sent to Israel to aid the IDF in their genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza

The genocide is already happening. And again, whether US soldiers or just the IDF are involved is irrelevant for the people being killed, it only matters for the Americans being drafted.

Israel decides to use chemical weapons to clear out populated areas, because at this point there’s no point in pretending to care about civilian casualties.

They already don't care, they've killed aid workers, journalists, and countless children. They've raped and tortured prisoners.

Netanyahu has the IDF go door to door executing Palestinian women and children, and then run over their corpses with bulldozers (again)

Exactly, "again". Do I need to say more?

And everything after that is about what Trump will do to people in America, about which we agree on, and I've already pointed out several times is not my point. My point is, for the last time, Trump is not materially worse for the people living in Palestine than Kamala, and pretending that he can do worse to them is to whitewash what is currently happening and to downplay the decade long genocide.
