Did not read through everything. But on the issue of elections, I just wanted to say that I dont think there is a pro-Palestinian western leader in either Biden or Trump. It would not make a difference who gets to power, American foreign policy being pro-Israel is there to stay.
As it stands, yes.
The question is, of course,
how pro-Israel and to what extent?
This has varied over time and with Administrations.
It also has varied depending on the government of Israel and what it is doing and how it approaches its relationship with the US and with specific administrations.
The political culture in these parts of the world, has in general been uncaring about what people in the 3rd world suffer. For example, even when people criticize Israel here, they will express outrage about how 7 aid workers from WCK died, than actually talk about how 35K Palestinians have died. As AOC said in that interview wth Mehdi a week or so back, they also refer to the Palestinians in the passive voice. Its default racist narratives in the west because one group of people are sub-humans and the other more worthy of compassion.
No argument.
This is very entrenched in the political narratives in western nations and is not likely to change regardless of who gets to power.
It will change depending on who is in power. But these are long, slow changes that take a long time.
The US power structure's relationship to Israel now is not what it was in the past.
That doesn't mean it isn't pro-Israel, but it isn't the same.
And the GOP relationship to the current Israeli government isn't the same as the Democratic Party's relationship to this government - even if both can be easily categorized as "pro-Israel".
The best we can hope for is that sustained protests, will be successful in moving the needle, enough to bring about a permanent ceasefire and possibly kick start initiatives towards a longer term permanent solution eventually.
Multiple levels of action is the only way these things move.
People have been protesting in support of a better situation in the region for my entire adult life.
