@evan But I do find your question really strange to be honest: the republicans are happy to give Israel cart blanch and are overtly trying to bring about the christian eschaton, and they are actively hostile to the Palestinians. Muslim bans, etc. The democrats are at least paying lip service to the Palestinian cause. Things will be 1000% percent better for the Arabs under the democrats.

@evan The word terrorism has been hijacked politically and lost its moral clarity to express a fairly profound chaotic horror, but it very definitely forces you into a moral calculus where you have to compare and rank what you call "obscene questions". How does the 75K (children + adults) killed in Gaza compare to the 500K children killed in Sudan, and what is our responsibility as those with power to either ongoing events.

@evan I've been pretty anti Palestinian since I was in an attack by abu nidal in 1985 - so I'm hardly objective - but it seems like Trump has forced Hamas to give up whatever leverage they had while the Israelis seem to be more or less continuing to settle and otherwise colonize the Gaza strip. So it certainly seems like Gaza is worse for Gazans under Trump.
