You could vote for the candidate least likely to Genocide. I think Kamala was her name…
No seriously, I hope Palestine gets the policies that all the Genocide Joes here voted for. You earned it for them! 🫡
I am stealing someone else’s idea (can’t remember whose), but just make non-stop memes about Trump being Netanyahu’s pet, and let the narcissism run wild. If everyone one on social media was sharing memes about Trump being Netanyahu’s bitch especially after Netanyahu said Biden was better than Trump, I believe there would be ton of budget cuts to Israel.
It’s probably worth asking “what are the next steps for citizens of Portugal to stop the destruction of Palestine?”
Or Honduras or Australia or South Korea or Madagascar.
Because it’s now the same answer. You can do whatever you as a private citizen can do. Our friend’s dad travelled to Palestine and rode in on a boat loaded with construction supplies, sort of “throwing his body” in the path of the IDF to directly physically help Palestinians (he’s Jewish, btw).
Of course this was before this full scale war. I wouldn’t recommend this action now. Send money to aid groups. Whatever you could do from the suburbs of Cartegena, that’s what you can do as an American.
You can’t do anything about the policy from the top now. That’s a sealed envelope.
We don't? We lost. I'm going to go back to huddling in the corner.
Lol.
Too late.
Palestine will cease to exist.
Why?
Because Donald Trump only helps those who he can directly benefit from. Palestine cannot benefit him. Israel can.
If you want to help Palestine, build a time machine, go back in time, and tell every liberal/independent fool who voted 3rd party or abstained from voting over the whole Palestine thing to do the smart thing instead.
Elections have consequences, and every last American is about to find that out the real hard way.
If got time machine, go back and stop all religion from forming, problem solved atheist utopia
I would go back further. 400,000 years back, with weapons to eradicate the human species. We are anathema to this planet's other life. Humans are a toxic disease.
But then neanderthal gets evolve and world problems happen anyway with other hominid in charge.
Maybe we go back to dino
this genocide is The conclusion of a 50-year crusade by the Israelis, and Trump said he's fully on board with Netanyahu finishing his attack on Palestine.
and dumps is going to be in charge of The US military in a couple months.
so there isn't much you can do
this will be one more concluded genocide in the books.
There are none. This is game over for Palestinians, Ukranians, and 99% of Americans. Mango Hitler controls all branches of the government, and every check and balance has been removed.
Even if there was evidence of massive voter fraud on Trump's part, it wouldn't matter. Anyone who could do anything about it is on his team.
The US democracy is dead.
Pray. That's all you have left.
You think he will ever listen to you even if you demonstrate?
You're going to enjoy a medieval monarchy, and more than half of the country either wants it or can't be bothered with it because they have better things to do.
You’re going to enjoy a medieval monarchy
Yup. Average Americans are going to lose so much of what little power we had over the next handful of years. Hope we're all happy we chose this for ourselves.
You know, Republicans have long been the "thoughts and prayer" party. Are you saying that we have now become the COUNTRY of "thoughts and prayers"? Dammit all.
You're wrong about the medieval monarchy part. The US is about to become Nazi Germany.
Nuh uh man. I’ll have you know America has its own proud history of racism. This will be our distinctly American flavor of nazism, replete with cowboy hats and an aww shucks attitude

Sorry to break it to you, but you can't.
There are a few remaining checks and balances on other issues, and the Democratic Party might be able to use its minority in Congress to strategically delay certain things. But foreign policy is entirely in the President and Congress's domain. And while Republicans in Congress sometimes have internal bickering that derails their agenda, I expect Trump and Congress to march lock-step on this one. (Their marching might even be a bit like a goose step, come to think of it.)
the best time to get educated about what a fascist american government looks like is 20-25 years ago. the second best time is... wait, too late
Convince a fuckton of electors to go rogue and vote Harris in January. Of course you'd have a better chance at winning the lottery than that
Kill as many Nazis as you can.
Be billionaire and outbid Netanyahu
Sabotage Democratic outreach and voter engagement efforts right?
Keep blocking shipments of arms, figure out how to dismantle AIPAC, boost the voices of Palestinians and anti-Zionist Jews, follow BDS, donate to organizations like Palestinian Children's Relief and the Palestine Red Crescent Society as well as individual families at gazafunds.com.
On the arms shipments, we may try lawsuits via the Leahy Law if the ethnic cleansing ramps up. The way the law is written, it actually looks at arms shipments all the way down to the granular level of individual military units. It does not say arms cannot be exported to countries engaging in war crimes, it specifically says individual military units that commit war crimes cannot receive arms. If they choose to engage in a broader campaign of organized displacement out of Gaza or starvation in places where combat has largely died down, a larger number of military units could potentially become implicated, which could maybe make a lawsuit more feasible. We'll have to see.
Regarding AIPAC, since Citizen's United determined that monetary donations are a form of speech, this requires either an amendment or recapture of the Supreme Court. Otherwise Americans are allowed to lobby the government for whatever they wish, even if they are doing so at the behest of a foreign government. They have to disclose that, but so long as they do, they are simply exercising their Constitutional rights as perceived by the current Supreme Court. This isn't going away any time soon, the current law is very clear and pretty much ironclad, rooted in the Constitution itself via the Bill of Rights.
if the ethnic cleansing ramps up
I guess I don't want to see what qualifies as "ramped up" if the current state of affairs is anything to go by. (Loud whisper: Because it's already up.)
There's around 2 million Gazans still alive. That's a lot of ethnicity still to be cleansed if cleansing is the goal.
How can a regular person block shipments of arms or dismantle AIPAC? That's not possible.
What does boosting voices of soon to be dead people do to stop them from dying? What does organizing or donating do?
Trump has promised Israel everything they need, no questions asked, no limits. And they already have so much, they don't really need a lot more. They can already destroy Palestine, they can already destroy parts of Iran and Lebanon. They just need the extra stuff and funds to do it quicker and destroy more of those countries.
And don't think for a second Trump and their cronies won't block any money flow from the US to anywhere near there and divert it to Israel instead. And block organizations in the US from doing anything. Israel is already blocking aid for Palestine even from organizations like the Red Cross. What are small organizations going to do?
Plus the time to act has come and gone. Time is up, this is going to happen within months. We can't organize, lobby for policy change, set up aid and demonstrations. It's done, there is a deadline and that means death for a whole lot of people.
All we can do at this point is look with shock and horror as the far right grips the world and destroys a lot of the things we hold dear.
Hey, come on, the question was meant seriously, but not that seriously
Yeah better do what you can within the next two months.
Joe Biden was all in. There is nothing that can be done at this point. Truly fucked
