Since you didn't actually mention it, no, I wasn't able to read your mind to determine that.
But ok, you are a single issue voter who thinks the treatment of the Palestinians is the same for both parties and this outweighs EVERY AND ALL domestic issue such as reproductive freedom, LGBTQIA+ rights, the environment, worker's rights etc etc.
You are about to find out that's far from the case. We could negotiate with Democrats and we know that worked because, among other things, Harris was very clear that she "would not be silent" about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. She pledged to bring the war to an end so the "Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self determination." That doesn't mean you get 100% of what you want, which is presumably.... well, do you even know? But it is a step in the right direction.
What did Trump say in response? What has Trump done (remember the embassy move) ? It's a long list but most recently appoint Mike Huckabee as US ambassador. I assume you know what appointing a Christian Nationalist to that position means. Notably, Huckabee is pro-settlement. He has outright denied the right of Palestinian's to Gaza and the West Bank. He literally said "there really [is] no such thing as a Palestinian".
Add it all up and you can understand why Israel's finance minister Smotrich recently said that Trump's win was an opportunity to annex parts of the West Bank. “I intend, with God’s help, to lead a government decision that says that the government of Israel will work with the new administration of President Trump and the international community to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria
So contrast the two:
In all honesty, if you believe "both sides" are the same on this issue you are grossly ignorant of the facts and simply too lazy to educate yourself. You and people like you are directly responsible for what happens now. You fucked around and now we all get find out.
