  • I don’t see how that’s a comparable situation. The regime has been strengthened by this move and has the full backing of the most powerful military to have ever existed.

    Why would Trump drop Israel? Seems far more likely he’ll push them to pursue their imperial goals and expand greater Israel so they can have even more influence in the region. What’s anyone going to do to stop them?
















  • The idea that Israel’s annexation of Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond is inevitable under any U.S. president ignores how deeply American policy shapes these outcomes. Empires do not expand in isolation because they rely on enablers to fuel their ambitions. Trump gave Israel everything it needed to push expansion forward by recognizing contested territories and legitimizing land grabs. Other administrations, while imperfect, at least made some effort to slow the process. American support through military aid, diplomatic shielding, and economic backing is not guaranteed and can shift with leadership and public pressure. History proves that empires can be stopped when expansion becomes too costly. Calling annexation inevitable is a lazy shrug at injustice, not a serious analysis of power and its limits.
