We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Rightwing Israeli settlers and nationalist Zionists are praising Donald Trump’s incoming administration, describing it as a “dream team” for advancing settlement expansion and undermining the possibility of a Palestinian state.

Trump’s appointments, including Mike Huckabee and Pete Hegseth, openly support Israeli occupation and oppose a two-state solution.

Palestinian groups and leftwing NGOs warn these developments embolden policies like home demolitions in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as expanded settlement construction.

Activists liken Trump’s policies to a biblical realignment favoring Israel’s territorial claims, exceeding even his first-term pro-Israel actions.

*Squatters

Or terrorists.

Both work in this case, but "settlers" is way too sanitary a term for what's happening here.

Most of Israel is rightwing mostly because of conspiracy theories around the assassination of Yitzhak Rabbin.

They're a post-culture war society, and they lost. It would be like of the views of the Trump administration just kept getting more and more popular until the country was 85% Trump supporters.

Nazis that voted for Trump: I can't believe we're helping the fucking Jews now...

Well remember that the Nazis early on we're rather supportive of deportation of the Jews. It's a reason why a lot of zionists worked with the Nazis early on, and some of them even after the war had started.

Leftists: How could it get any worse?

Trump: Hold my beer.
