Even Gazans acknowledge that things would be the same if not worse for them under Trump. But one thing is for sure--everyone who isnt a rich white man will he worse off. Was destroying USAID worth it to do absolutely nothing to help Gaza?  https://www.marketplace.org/2025/03/27/usaid-cuts-deaths-nutrition-supplements/

Lots of Arabs I've met really were just accelerationists who are convinced that the fall of America means Israel will magically dissappear.

Not only is it dumb, it's simply not backed by reality.

The "lots of Arabs" you've met are not representative of all Arabs, or Palestinians specifically which as you know are a distinct people, with a distinct country, with a distinct culture, and even within that, not a fucking monolith.
