Hey Gaza / Free Palestine guys,

I’m pissed about the Kamala loss but that’s not important right now. I need to know what media you were using.

Where did Free Palestine/ Gaza memes and discussions start?

I’m worried that the discussion is a right wing disinformation campaign designed to make us tear each other apart. I cannot find any legitimate politician (even far left ones like Bernie Sanders, AOC, etc. etc) that would have pushed the message of ‘Joe Biden / Kamala is just as bad as Trump on the issue of Gaza’.

The only ones who would push that message are right wing trolls who try to separate us. So now I want to track down and confirm my suspicions. Who meme’d this? Where did you hear it? Was it Twitter? TikTok? Reddit? Facebook? Instagram?

    Israel will not get destroyed if Biden tried to enforce a ceasefire. At the end of the day America still has a gun to everyone’s head daring anyone to try anything they don’t want them to do. There’s a reason why America is called the “World Police”. The danger to Israel is if America pulls its support from Israel entirely, not stopping a few arms shipments. Israel would still have the arms to fight, they would just not be able to do the mass killings they currently do. The US has covered 70% of the cost of the Israel’s current war, just to give you an idea of how much help Israel gets in this conflict. At the end of the day, both Trump and Biden will allow Netanyahu do whatever he wants for the sake of political convenience and foreign lobbying. This is why I say there is no difference between the two, and that it’s not just a meme. I know a lot of people will say that Trump will help expedite the process or let it become a regional war. But at the end of the day, a genocide is still a genocide, regardless of the pace. Israel is not being slowed down or stopped in the slightest currently. And the escalations leading up to a regional war have already started. So when people say Trump will be worse a lot of the Arab-Americans just looked at what’s happening and said “How?”.

    The ceasefire was overwhelmingly popular with Democrats. The ones who didn’t want one were traditionally Republicans (for the most part) and that’s who Harris tried to court. The Republican voters. The end result she got next to no actual Republican votes and disenfranchised a lot of progressives through this decision, and a few others. There have been studies to show that Harris would have actually gained support if she took a firmer stance and said she would enforce a ceasefire.. Was it the singular issue that cost her the election? Probably not. But it definitely hurt her in key swing states.

      I think we’re both repeating ourselves at this point.

      If you want to say anything about what I said about how it translated into social media, which was to me the main point of both OP’s question and what I was saying, I’m open to it.
