Palestinians were very much already in danger. Both sides in america are so tied to Israel that biden refused to stand up to bibi even while he was openly campaigning for trump
Simple reality is there's twice as many Jewish voters than muslim voters, and Jewish voters are more likely to vote Democrat. So ironically the best thing Biden could've done for Palestine was to not piss off the Israel crowd and cause Trump's election.
But maybe he'll stand up now that the election is over. Time to cut off the weapons. Long time coming. Make Trump reinstate weapons for Israel and see how that goes for him. You Palestine people need to push 10x as hard now as you did before the election. Something tells me you won't.
The push will be harder now because dems and libs will suddenly realize it's an atrocity the instant trump gets in office. They'll flip from telling pro Palestine people to shut up to yelling the same things we've been yelling for a year but at trump because the person in power finally won't be on their team so they finally will allow for criticism of the president.
It's the difference between being in a burning building and being the same burning building while people throwing Molotov cocktails through the windows.
Both are dangerous but one is worse.
In this case if you pick just the burning building then the group keeping you in that building are saying "we can't let you out of there but you better support us or the guys with the molotovs will show up"
I understand that logically you'd pick option A but would you have enthusiastic support for the people keeping you trapped in the building?
Candidates have to get people motivated to vote and "we won't do better but the other guy will do worse" is not motivating enough. We saw how that plays out yesterday
