Harris supported a two-state solution with the eventual goal of an independent Palestine.
Yes, she “supported” it. But did she take or promise to take real steps towards that goal? NO. And don’t tell me she promised to push for a ceasefire because she was lying.
Even if she took zero steps towards the goal, that’s infinitely preferable to Trump’s pushing for annexation of the occupied territories and dismantling the Palestinian Authority.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be Israeli.

Normally I’d agree with that, but in the context of the current Israeli genocide that’s straight up untrue, because doing nothing is allowing Israel to annex the occupied territories. That’s literally what they’re doing right now. You can’t say “but the status quo could get worse” when the status quo is the worst things can realistically get. What Trump supports is what Israel is doing and Biden is allowing and Harris promised she’d allow.
Also, Israel wouldn’t dismantle the PA until they’re finally done annexing the West Bank, because the PA are their convenient puppets who if anything hamper Palestinian resistance. Hell, if they dismantled the PA maybe we’d see real resistance from the West Bank again (hence why they won’t do that until they’re near the end of their colonial project).
Here’s a meaningful difference:
Harris supported a two-state solution with the eventual goal of an independent Palestine.
Trump will oversee the formal annexation of Gaza and the
West Bank“Judea and Samara”, marking the end of any hope for a future Palestinian state.Yes, she “supported” it. But did she take or promise to take real steps towards that goal? NO. And don’t tell me she promised to push for a ceasefire because she was lying.
