Gaza WILL Get Worse Under Trump - It'll Also Get Worse Under Harris

Gaza WILL Get Worse Under Trump - It'll Also Get Worse Under Harris

U.S. and ISRAEL IMPERIALISM - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Caitlin Johnstone

The thing about people who argue that Gaza will get worse if Trump wins is that they’re technically not wrong: Gaza will get worse if Trump wins. But it will also get worse if Harris wins.

Know how I know? Because it’s been getting worse and worse in Gaza for a whole year, and both Trump and Harris have pledged to continue unconditionally supporting the state that’s making it worse and worse.

Crazy person: If Trump wins something BAD might happen!

Normal person: His opponent is literally committing genocide right now.

Crazy person: No but like something REALLY bad!

So much of the PR for the US/Israeli genocide in Gaza revolves around convincing people to abandon their common sense and believe self-evidently idiotic bullshit, because that’s all they’ve got.

They can’t justify Israel bombing hospitals, routinely shooting Palestinian kids in the head, assassinating journalists and doctors and cultural leaders, and deliberately targeting areas known to be packed full of civilians, so they ask you to turn off your critical thinking faculties and accept that all of those people are either (A) Hamas or (B) “human shields” of Hamas.

They seriously ask you to set down everything you know about Israel’s history and its longstanding agenda to steal all Palestinian land and accept on faith that what’s being done in Gaza is all about self-defense and fighting terrorism.

They’ll facilitate a genocide right in front of you for an entire year and then still ask you to believe that they’re working real hard on a ceasefire and they’ll get aid to those starving civilians any minute now.
