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.
Source? ‘cause from their pov he gave them a ceasefire. Talk about straw men. These conversations hinge on a futuristic, hypothetical series of events that may not happen. Will Trump be worse? Maybe. Probably. But that’s still in the future.
We know that Biden and the Democrats in the present, and past, failed to stymie Trump from taking office again , while aiding Israel in a genocide.
I have no problem with the Trump hate mills mentioning all of his fascist actions. But when that is used to apologize for Biden, the Democrats, and an actual genocide I have to speak out.
The Democrats were never gonna save us from fascism. It’s time we accept that and work together without them.
