This is really ugly.
It's a capitalist republic.
It's a dictatorship of private property and its pursuit of endless profit and power.
Violence and terror is what drives their desires for power, wealth and 'superiority'.
Settlers have for decades carried out violence and sabotage against Palestinians with the goal of uprooting them from their homeland. Settler violence against Palestinians can range from physical and verbal assaults, looting of corpses, obstructing Palestinians from reaching their lands, cutting down their olive trees during the harvest season, and killing their livestock. Settlers have also written racist slogans on the walls of Islamic and Christian holy sites in their crusades against Palestinian communities. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, over 1,400 incidents of settler attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank were recorded in the last year.
In 2014, a 16-year-old Palestinian Mohammad Khdeir was kidnapped by a group of Israeli settlers in East Jerusalem, and then taken to a forest where he was beaten and burned alive.
One year later, three members of the Palestinian Dawabsheh family were burned to death after Israeli settlers set the family’s house on fire in the village of Duma, in the Nablus governorate. An 18-month-old baby was burned alive along with his parents. His brother Ahmad survived but sustained severe burns in 60% of his body including his face.
The recurring incidents of settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank directly contradicts Israeli narratives that the situation was fine before October 7 and that Palestinian resistance groups based in the besieged Gaza Strip are the main obstacle to achieving peace. For decades, Israeli propaganda has worked relentlessly to cover up the terrorism, violence, and brutality perpetrated by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and illegal settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, in addition to the IOF’s frequent aggressions and continuous siege of the Gaza strip.
I put those in quotes, because elections don't mean democracy.
This has been true for a long time.

When I think about all the 'liberals' who are wailing over the 'victory' of Trump, I remind myself not to smirk, laugh, or somehow think I'm a better person.
Over 200000 Palestinians (estimated) to have been killed by the Zionist project - fully funded by the United States and it's ruling class.
Why did it happen and what should be do about it?

Headlines like these - even now - result in denial and refusal to even read.

Israeli strikes in Jabalia, northern Gaza, killed over 50 children in just 48 hours, the UN’s child relief agency, UNICEF, said in a statement on Saturday.
“This has already been a deadly weekend of attacks in North Gaza. In the past 48 hours alone, over 50 children have reportedly been killed in Jabalia, where strikes leveled two residential buildings sheltering hundreds of people,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.

Much alarm has been raised over the so-called “Generals’ Plan,” an ethnic cleansing proposal for northern Gaza that has reportedly garnered attention in the highest reaches of the Israeli government.
But Israeli scholar Idan Landau argued in a column published in English by +972 Magazine on Friday that what the Israeli military is actually doing in northern Gaza “is even more appalling” than the plan outlined by a group of retired generals. Landau argued that focus on the details of the Generals’ Plan has served to obscure the “true brutality” of Israel’s deadly operations in northern Gaza, which has been rendered a hellscape of death and destruction by the military assault and siege.
Terms like 'genocide', 'ethnic cleansing', 'war crimes', 'crimes against humanity', and so on, mean nothing to psychopaths.
Until they mean something to the American Public, then's it up to the rest of the world to take action.
Because elections in US crapitalism don't matter for the majority.
Either Trump or Harris will continue the fund the ongoing genocide of brown people, by largely white European people.
