Huh? Many of those were her original campaign promises.

Genocide will be ramped up and concerns ignored instead of just continuing while facing increasing public scrutiny and backlash. He literally told you this. Biden was a zionist at heart but Kamala would've softened after winning. And even if she didn't. Argument isn't whether she was good for Gaza, it's that she was objectively, better than Trump.

Trump says Israel needs to ‘finish what they started’ and said war with Hamas is ‘taking a long time’

Trump told Netanyahu he wants Gaza war over by time he enters office

vs

Kamala Harris says ‘I will not be silent’ on suffering in Gaza after Netanyahu talks

The current GOP is busy writing "finish them" on Israeli artillery shells. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/nikki-haley-writes-finish-them-israeli-artillery-shell-drawing-criticism-2024-05-29/

There is no argument for letting Trump/GOP get in if you care about Gaza. Of course they're worse.

Miriam Adelson sought support from candidate Trump for Israel's annexation of the West Bank, pledging more than $100 million to Trump's campaign in exchange for U.S. recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the region.

It has ensured Palestine's erasure. We're now in the 'Greater Israel' period in U.S politics

Friedman, however, suggests that we should not look to Trump but to those around him — to figures like former ambassador David Friedman, Jason Greenblatt, and others who pledge to continue the unfinished work of Trump’s first term. These are the people who will be at the center of what Friedman calls a “Greater Israel” period in U.S. policy: supporting Israeli annexation and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of Lebanon; lifting sanctions on settlers; and preventing any bans on weapons transfers. “They have lists of things that they are ready to do,” Friedman says, warning that we should take them at their word.
