As terrible as the Biden policies on Israel's war on the Palestinians has been, a Trump/Republican administration would be worse.
Republicans demonstrate their terrifying Palestine policy
Read the whole thing but a few points here:
- A complete ban on using U.S. funds to rebuild or build anew in Gaza
- A ban on any funds being used to facilitate admitting and resettling refugees from Gaza in the United States
- A firm ban on Defense Department contracts and any funding by DoD or State of any entity—business or government—that participates in any boycott of Israel (note, this will affect European countries as it will include territories controlled by Israel, i.e. settlements)
- A permanent ban on construction of any kind of port or pier off the Gaza coastline.
- Ending funding for the Office of Palestinian Affairs in the State Department
- Treating the West Bank and Gaza as two separate units. This has long been a goal of those who wish to frustrate the aspirations for a Palestinian state in favor of a Greater Israel, as noted by Lara Friedman of the Foundation for Middle East Peace (whose regular updates and reporting provided much of the information for this article)
- Slashing 15% of the budget for the United Nations and U.N. agencies across the board
- Banning all funding for UNRWA
- Cutting all funding to the World Health Organization, International Court of Justice, and International Criminal Court
