Why is Trump a bad sign for Palestine?

Despite the change of leader in the United States, there is no significant change in US policy towards the Middle East. However, Kamala Harris is ‘better than the worst’ than Trump. Therefore, Middle Eastern citizens living in the United States may prefer to vote for Kamala Harris.
The US presidential election will be held on July 5. Americans will vote for the country’s 47th president. If Trump somehow ‘wins’ this election, it will be a ‘severe blow’ for the Middle East. The massacre in Gaza will take on a more horrific form. Lebanon will also be covered in horror.
Since October 7 last year, more than 43,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. Most of them are women and children. There is still no sign of stopping the war. If Trump comes to power, it will not decrease, but rather increase. Trump is even responsible for the ongoing conflict.
‘Fascist’ Trump
Trump is a ‘fascist’ ruler – this is what many people are now saying. His rival candidate in the US election, Kamala Harris, has also recently called him by this title. Trump has always taken anti-Muslim attitudes, behavior and actions. Trump also banned visas for citizens of many Muslim countries.
Despite losing the last election, his attempt to seize power through a coup has never happened before in the country’s history. Therefore, there would be nothing wrong with calling this person who has cast a shadow on US history a ‘fascist’.
Trump responsible for the Gaza war
Many say that Trump does not want or like to fight a war. This is a ‘blatant lie’. Rather, this leader organized everything to fight. For example, the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani can be mentioned. Trump created an environment for war by killing him. However, Iran did not fall into that trap.
Trump also created the grounds for the Gaza war. And the first step of his effort is the naked attempt to normalize Israel’s relations with Arab countries through the ‘Abraham Accord’. Because of this agreement, it has become easier for Israel to attack Gaza.
Secondly, Trump has moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He has also not allowed the PLO office to open in Washington. In this way, Trump has worked in favor of Israel through discriminatory policies. Thousands of people are losing their lives in Gaza today because of this stubborn decision of his.
Trump, the instigator of genocide
Instead of talking about the ‘genocide’ taking place in Gaza, Trump believes that what is happening in Gaza should be accelerated. In a speech about Biden’s actions during the war, Trump once said that Biden is trying to back down. He should not do this at all. Rather, he should do the opposite. I am glad to think that what Netanyahu is doing is very joyful.
Earlier this year, Trump once said that Israel should end what it has started in Gaza quickly. He basically meant that Netanyahu should end this war by escalating the genocide even more and achieving the desired results quickly.
It is clear from Trump’s statements that he harbors a widespread hatred for Palestine. The former president recently told Netanyahu in another phone call, “Do whatever you want (in Gaza).”
Trump is ready for repression
Protests have taken place at almost all US universities demanding an end to Israel’s genocide in Palestine. If Trump were in power, these protests would have taken a more horrific and violent form. He would have increased the level of torture and oppression against the protesters.
He offered to use the National Guard and even the army to suppress the protests. Trump has also threatened to expel those participating in these protests from the country. He has also belittled the protesters by calling them “Hamas supporters.”
Trump’s violent tendencies have been proven before. He wanted to use the military during the Black Lives Matter movement after the police killing of George Floyd in 2020, but couldn’t.
Kamala Harris is ‘the best of the worst’
Trump’s rival candidate, US Vice President Kamala Harris, is not a very good thing. She is also involved in the massacre in Gaza. She has even presided over the US as Vice President in partnership with Israel. However, Kamala Harris’s policy may not be as violent as Donald Trump’s.
The Gaza war actually started when Joe Biden was in power. And Kamala Harris is his Vice President. As such, it can be said that Kamala Harris will not play a significant role in stopping this barbarity of Israel. However, Donald Trump’s position and violence are as clear as daylight. Middle Eastern citizens living in the United States will not vote for such a person knowingly.
