Summary

Elise Stefanik, President Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to the UN, stated during her confirmation hearing that Israel has a "biblical right" to the occupied West Bank, aligning with far-right Israeli officials.

Stefanik sidestepped support for Palestinian self-determination, blaming their leadership for failures.

Her stance signals a shift from Biden-era opposition to Israeli settlements, with Trump lifting sanctions on Israeli settler groups and nominating pro-settlement figures like Mike Huckabee for key roles.

Stefanik also vowed to audit UN funding and block aid to Palestinian refugee agencies.

Trump And the Gang...as a non north American, i knew my investment on a popcorn machine wouldn't go to waste! Need so much popcorn for the next 5 years watching Trump's shenanigans and the (north) American people doing nothing irl except commenting on social media about his BS and how things could have been better. WAKE UP MOFOS! This guy's gonna destroy your country! This is no time to be a keyboard warrior!

There is not much we can do about it at this point. The citizens have made their choice. And the ones that made the choice are the ones with the most guns.

Lots of comments trying to sanewash an actual genocide. Humanity is not a team sport.

much surprise that Trump decided to side with the powerful and the rich

Remember everyone, the "ceasefire" that Trump "negotiated" (wink wink) is in no way just a temporary distraction, he's better for Gaza than Dems could ever have been.

Sectarian violence should have no place in a secular government

Christian zionism is also genocidal fascism and it's the most widespread.

Had a Biblical right, but they forfeited it when they stopped following God and went and did things worse than the surrounding nations. They were rejected as a kingdom of God just before Babylon took over, and when they flash mobbed the Romans to execute Jesus, that completed the rejection. Israel has not been the Kingdom of God for 2,500 years, roughly, and definitely do not have his backing for this assault.

They never had a "biblical right" because there is no such thing.

Just imagine what would be happening right now if we had elected that horrible genocide supporting Kamala instead!

IKR. So many palestinians shouting to the mountains for their saviors who abstained for their sakes.

More proof that Trump is ending the palestinian genocide.

What's that? That's not the right conclusion based on the information?

Bb...but the tankies pwomised

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean the genocide will end pretty soon probably. I did try to warn the paint huffers at ml and hexbear. They don't like listening though.

Both Israelis and Palestinians claim to have a "God given right" to that very same piece of sand.

I suspect that's a large part of why this conflict has been ongoing for longer than most of the combatants have been alive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Palestinians don't claim to have a God given right to that land. They have a UNRWA refugee mandate to that land.
