With simply six days till US voters go to polls to elect a brand new president, Palestinians see no distinction between White House hopefuls Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Palestinians within the occupied West Bank say that the outcomes of the Nov. 5 elections is not going to change Washington’s limitless political and army help for Israel amid its brutal battle on the Gaza Strip.
More than 43,100 individuals have been killed, largely girls and youngsters, and over 101,500 others injured in a devastating Israeli battle on Gaza following a Hamas assault on Oct. 7, 2023.
“We expect nothing from the incoming US administration or the candidate who will win the elections,” Mahmoud Nawajaa, coordinator of the Palestinian National Committee for the Boycott of Israel (BDS), advised Anadolu on Wednesday.
“The genocide being committed against our people in Gaza, and all other crimes taking place in Palestine and Lebanon would not have occurred without US support,” he added.
Nawajaa known as Israel the “spearhead of an imperial project” within the area.
“The US elections will not change anything,” he stated.
“The US administration is complicit and a partner in the crime of genocide and everything that is happening in Lebanon and all the bombing and destruction in Iraq and Yemen.
“The elections will make no distinction; the one distinction lies within the potential of the Palestinian individuals and Arab nations to stress colonial regimes to alter their positions and work towards the collapse of the colonial system,” Nawajaa stated.
– “Two sides of same coin”
Jamal Juma, coordinator of the Palestinian grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign (Stop the Wall), shares an analogous view.
“We place no faith whatsoever in the US elections,” he advised Anadolu.
“For years, both American parties have proven to be two sides of the same coin.
“It’s clear that Zionists management US choices attributable to their dominance over monetary and media facilities,” Juma opined.
He cited Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital when he was still in the White House in 2017.
“Current President Joe Biden has completed even worse by justifying and persevering with to justify the genocide,” Juma said.
“Our major challenge is with the US and its racist, superior, and inhumane strategy to the Palestinian trigger,” he added.
– US bias for Israel
Palestinian political activist Omar Assaf stated the Palestinian individuals don’t depend on the outcomes of the US elections.
“I believe anyone who does is delusional, as America operates through its institutions and is biased toward Israeli aggression,” he added.
“The US is complicit in genocide with its aircraft and bombs, and they compete to offer the most support to the occupation, whether it’s Republican candidate Trump or Democratic rival Harris. They view the Zionist project as part of their interests and agenda.
“We should depend on ourselves and our resistance, not the US elections. They will proceed to help the Israeli aggression and won’t hesitate to supply political cowl for it,” Assaf stated.
– “Real face”
Osama Abdel Karim, a Palestinian engineer, stated Palestinians anticipate nothing from the incoming US administration.
“We place no hope in any of the two candidates,” he stated.
“All US administrations, whether Republican or Democratic, have a policy of supporting Israel politically and militarily and providing it with protection and a platform in various international forums, so we have no stake in these elections.
“The US is a major accomplice and confederate within the battle of genocide on Gaza, and earlier than that within the West Bank, via its help for settlement constructing, the Judaization of Jerusalem, and its annexation to Israel.”
University student Obadah Muhaysen from Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank, said the Gaza war has exposed the “true face” of the US.
“The Israeli battle on Gaza, supported and funded by the US, has revealed the true face of the US, which claims to face for ethics, democracy, and human rights,” he said.
“I do not assume any Palestinian or Arab expects something optimistic from US administrations or anticipates any change in US help for the occupation state,” Muhaysen concluded.
