Summary
Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
The sanctions, established under Executive Order 14115 in 2024, targeted those “undermining peace, security, and stability” and froze U.S. assets of sanctioned individuals.
This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.
Trump’s decision aligns with his previous support for Israeli settlements, which most countries consider illegal under international law.
At least we don’t have Genocide Joe! (/s in case I actually need to write that)
Same shit if you’re Palestinian eh?
But hey glad to know you can live with supporting genocide abroad as long as you’re not bothered at home.
… they said while supporting more genocide
Yea! We just had to teach bLueMagA a lesson at the polls this particular election cycle
Well the last elections had Bernie, so effort was spent on that option for change instead.
Funny how a decent choice of candidate can be the difference between promoting said candidate and promoting not voting at all. Almost like representation matters.
It’s analogous to sanctioning Pvt. Ivan McBlyat but leaving Putin untouched.
You fucked up, regardless of what you tell yourself now
And Lepards ate all of our faces, thanks progressives
At least centrists didn’t have to abandon their support for genocide.
Don’t misrepresent people’s views. If they’re wrong, you should easily be able to win the argument against even the best interpretation of their stance.
I’m not misrepresenting anything.
If that’s so, go ahead and point to a single person here that claimed to be an centrist and has provenly supported genocide.
Just pop open the modlog for this community. It’s right there in the sidebar. You won’t have to scroll very far to see blatant Islamophobia. But since you’ll declare victory without looking, I’ll dig through the cesspit for you. So you can have some links to dismiss without reading. Or read and make excuses for like a maga chud defending Elon Musk’s nazi salute.

Here’s three. You asked for one. Now move the goalposts.
Good job. Was hoping you’d find some, because nothing beats laughing at that smug, self induced back patting you seem to love doing when you people feel pompously righteous.
Now, go ahead and show proof that they’re centrists, and not just trolls.
Called it.
No, you didn’t call shit. You just baked an escape plan into your point that allows for a quick exit. I know how you work.
Note in my comment how I said:
“go ahead and point to a single person here that claimed to be a centrist and has provenly supported genocide.”
See that “and” in there? That means you were asked to provide evidence that someone was guilty of two accusations.
You provided evidence of trolls stirring the pot to upset easily triggered leftists. Not one of them claimed to be a centrist. So… You made a false accusation, got called out and lost. Thanks for playing.
So what’s your point?
Was this election so unimportant to the Democrats that they couldn’t pressure Israel into a ceasefire in October?
Biden had all the power for the past 15 months. Failing to deliver anything and claiming they are “working tirelessly” can only mean incompetence or deception on the part of Democrats.
Blaming Palestinian-Americsns for staying home when American bombs were killing their families is just such a weak take.
Was this election so unimportant that non-voters and 3rd party voters couldn’t be bothered to cast their vote in concert with those that would stand in the way of a dictator?
There’s FAR more at risk than a genocide. Take a look around for once.
You are talking about people who voted loyal to Democrats for decades, donated and campaigned.
The democratic party took their votes for granted and wasn’t even willing to talk to them.
This might come off as funny if it weren’t for the fact that “genocide Joe” is entirely fair.
After literal decades of trying to convince the Democratic establishment that being marginally better than the fascists isn’t “good enough”, I don’t personally have much tolerance for scolding voters. Maybe this election could have been won, but the eventual outcome was inevitable. Neoliberalism is woefully incapable of restraining fascism.
Yeah! So we should vote in fascism! And then actively rip apart the non fascists…. That will definitely create a great new liberal party right? So what’s the plan after the fascists take over?…… there is a great next step that will make the 4d chess move of electing the fascists make sense….tight?
Okay here’s the thing: Y’all need to either found a progressive third party or coopt the Democratic party. I don’t care which, but pick one, stick to it and actually make progress on it. The current dichotomy between neoliberals and fascists was always going to end with fascists winning. It’s simple math, really; if a Democrat in charge gets you X (could be 0, but let’s face it it’s some small but positive number) steps towards fascism and a Republican in charge gets you Y (>X) steps towards fascism then no matter how you look at it your only possible end state is fascism. To steer yourselves out of the fascism course you need to switch up the values such that on average you move away from fascism every election, and that ain’t happening with the current DNC leadership in charge. I don’t have the answer on how to overthrow neoliberals (though I do have my guesses) but y’all are driving full speed ahead towards fascism land and the “let’s decelerate a bit” party won’t change that.
It has to be a takeover of the Democratic party. Third party strategies are non-starters in a first past the post election system.
I think your assessment is 100% correct.
Who and which billionaire would do that?
There is no savior coming. That’s what grass roots movements are for. It’s gotta be the people.
While a third party would have a long way to go (possibly never) before it can run for the presidency, I seriously think it’s possible to overthrow the two main parties in at least a few states and secure a foothold in Congress, like Bernie did but on a larger scale. Let’s also not forget the impact of state and local politics. The spoiler effect definitely complicates things, but I don’t think it’s any more of a problem than the fossils running the DNC.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I hate the term “Genocide Joe”:
See the expression should be Netanyahu is treating the Palestinians like Hitler did the Jews. So why are we [Joe/Harris] so blindly following this.
And I know the political answer to this is Joe/Harris were trying to use there position for political pressure… I’d say it failed but they did get a last min ceasefire, so history may prove otherwise.
