Summary

Rightwing Israeli settlers and nationalist Zionists are praising Donald Trump’s incoming administration, describing it as a “dream team” for advancing settlement expansion and undermining the possibility of a Palestinian state.

Trump’s appointments, including Mike Huckabee and Pete Hegseth, openly support Israeli occupation and oppose a two-state solution.

Palestinian groups and leftwing NGOs warn these developments embolden policies like home demolitions in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as expanded settlement construction.

Activists liken Trump’s policies to a biblical realignment favoring Israel’s territorial claims, exceeding even his first-term pro-Israel actions.

    Obviously not. Remember when significant percentages of people in the primaries voted ‘unaffiliated’ or ‘undecided’ with the express purpose of communicating to the administration that they wanted the weapons shipments to stop?

    Biden/Harris ignored them.

    It’s one thing to refuse to change policy. It’s another to refuse to change policy, support the bombing of kids, AND tell the voters to go fuck themselves.
