    What evidence do we have that Trump would be worse?

    You’d figure that the Democrats right before an election would at least LIE about stopping Israel. But they couldn’t even do that. How do we not know that the moment Kamala is in power, she tells Bibi that he can stop “holding back” and go full holocaust mode?

    While it’s true that I would otherwise prefer Kamala over Trump, on this issue there is zero reason to believe she would be even 1% or 0.00001% better than Trump.

      He has explicitly stated that Israel should fully militarily annex the West Bank and urged Netenyahu to draw up plans as he wished to provide additional military aid if they did so. So at the very least it can get as bad as doing Gaza 2.

        I don’t see why that wouldn’t happen under Harris, too. “We support Israel unconditionally, to the point of circumventing Congress to send them more money” indicates there is nothing Harris will meaningfully oppose. That and doing nothing to oppose the genocide right now.

          Why do I bother saying anything. Nowhere did I say Harris wouldn’t do that either.

          But he has explicitly stated that that was one of his goals. Harris sending more weapons to Israel isn’t her asking Netenyahu to draw up invasion plans of the West Bank.

            That’s the whole difference between the marketing of the two arms of the ruling party. Republican arm markets to people who are honest about wanting to brag about doing a genocide, while the Democrat arm markets to people who want the genocide to be done with a certain level of decorum.
