Trump overturns Biden's executive order to sanction Israeli settlers in West Bank

An additional executive order meant to "protect the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security and public threats" is undeniably meant to apply to pro-Palestinian protesters across America, particularly on college campuses.

gg .ml you got what you advocated for. You "voted against genocide" and got more of it like everybody told you you would
- I am so glad that I have blocked .ml and grad
- You do realize the genocide is (for now) over right? Like there's literally a ceasefire going on. Trump overturning Biden's posturing is... Well, it's not good but making this your "told you so" moment is just silly.
  
  genocide is (for now) over right?
  Wrong. Genocide is not bombing people, it's killing a people through a variety of means, including displacement. The expanding West Bank settlements Trump supports are also genocide.
  
  the genocide is (for now) over
  "for now" is really doing some heavy lifting there
  Netanyahu says Israel 'reserves right to resume war' and calls first phase a 'temporary ceasefire'
  but also, even if the ceasefire was permanent, that doesn't mean the genocide stops.
  if you bomb a bunch of hospitals, and then agree to a ceasefire, the hospitals don't magically come back into existence.
  ditto water treatment plants and similar infrastructure. Diseases spread in Gaza as sewage contaminates camps and coast
  a ceasefire means that the "dropped a bomb on a refugee camp" aspect of the genocide stops. the "there's a refugee camp with a never-ending stream of needless and preventable deaths" aspect of the genocide will continue unabated.
  
  there's [litchally like no other adverbs exist] a ceasefire
  The ceasefire was broken by Israeli reservists shooting Palestinians, within a day.
  Now it's just Israelis pot-shotting gazans and begging them to lob a stone.

I wonder where are all the pro-palestine people that were supporting Trump now. Their pet leopard seems to be looking for them.
- I mean there aren't any on this platform, but in the real world they're probably celebrating the ceasefire.

I'm just chef-kissing these first-day Trump orders. The dipshits who abstained should eat this shit whole. Get a whiff assholes. This is America now.
