Probably because they like the hateful things he’s doing. Bunch of hypocrites
They are no longer getting paid by republican PACs trying to foment dissent
“FomEnT DissenT” bitch hearing my friend died in lebannon is all the payment I need. The dems the ones fomenting dissent with all those bombs they sent to a genocidal regimes.
I am sorry for your friends loss. Don’t bother with this thread, it might make you upset
Yeah i should turn off my computer
Looks like outside the White House today…
Why are people still shitting on the people protesting genocide now that Biden isn’t in charge?
I thought it was blind loyalty to the letter D, but if that was the case you’d be against genocide now…
“I closed my eyes, why can’t I see anything?” -OP
Because it’s accelerationists cosplaying as leftists.

They didn’t go anywhere, but the media now doesn’t need to paint the current admin as “the bad guys” by highlighting the protest groups, so they are not getting the same amount of screen time.
Now the playbook is to make it look like everyone agrees with the governments stance, so quash the protests, ignore their efforts, arrest the instigators.
This is most of it. And there’s obviously some sock puppet stuff too, but the Lemmy community is so small they probably never targeted it. But mostly it’s because getting coalitions to infight has always benefited the people who took power a few weeks ago. Now they have nothing more to gain by promoting it and everything to lose by making people think it’s still a problem. So…

It’s still happening, just not getting anywhere close to the level of coverage it was during the election. Because back in October the big US media companies were trying to paint Biden, Harris, Walz, and the entire Democrat party as being much worse than Trump would be for Palestine. I didn’t see much coverage of Trump’s relationship with Netanhyahu or looking back at what happened in 2017-2020 back the either.
Now that Trump has won there’s no point in stoking any unrest. He’s instead cracking down on protests and cancelling the visas of foreign students who are caught protesting.
They’re over here, and they don’t want to end up over there. So they probably are staying quiet cause the guy they helped elect wants to send them over there, wherever that ends up being.
They all went to Jill Stiens cave to hibernate until next general election.
they were getting paid by the same people, so this makes perfect sense
Misinformation but if that makes you feel better feel free to believe that.
Whats the misinformation?
Pro-Palestinian advocates are literally protesting in front of the White House as I type this. You are lying.

Yeah I’m sure that’s it, you nailed it. It turns out that everyone that disagreed with you last year was actually a secret Russian agent. It’s definitely not that primaries and the run up to the presidential election are unique opportunities to push the Democratic candidates father left. Who knew?!
Wtf are you talking about? Free Palestine protesters are still actively organizing their communities and providing support where they can. The same groups are literally still staging actions and fighting for the freedom, liberatation, and survival of Palestinian people at home and abroad. Who do you think you’re clowning on with this meme? The people fighting against genocide didnt just give up because we have a new worse president.
The people “fighting against genocide” in exactly one place in the world and no others played a not insignificant role in why we have a new worse president in the first place.
Blame the people who support genocide, not those who oppose it. jfc libs.
in exactly one place in the world and no others
Where else are you and the USA supporting genocide?
When there are exactly two options before you, and one of them will be selected, and neither one is perfect, and you spend all your effort bitching about the least bad choice, you’re helping get the most bad choice selected.
Good work.
Despite what you may have been led to believe, anti-genocide groups have never spent “all their effort” on electoral politics. You’re choosing to spend your time right now bitching about those fighting oppression rather than joining the fight.
Good work.
How many comments have you made about what China is doing to the Uighurs?
I align with what Twiddle is saying and as for me, plenty, across multiple platforms. Genocide is bad whether you choose to pay attention or not. Thank you for asking!
Don’t worry, their efforts here have not only made sure THAT genocide keeps going, and the Palestine one gets worse, but also the new Axis powers now have America in their pocket. So we will get to have even more genocides for them to protest from prison. Good job everyone!!
I’m an anarchist not a tankie thank you. Typical lib behaviour to assume though. Very helpful to your case.

In addition to the other replies, there’s also quite a large difference between the actions of a foreign government doing something our current government already considers human rights abuse and the actions of a foreign government defended by our own, carried out with weapons manufactured and supplied by us, and where any criticism or protest of said support is categorized by nearly every politician as either antisemitism or tacit support of republican extremism. Both are genocide, but trying to protest the actions of the Chinese government as a US citizen in the US is pretty pointless, it’s better to focus efforts where it has a more direct impact. You don’t need to evenly split your attention between every single issue in order to be allowed to talk about any of them.
Most Palestine spaces banned anyone who explained why Trump was objectively worse so yes, the ones who created those echo chambers and participated spreading those narratives to the wider population deserve to be called on it.
We are. Your options were genocide and uber genocide.
So they picked genocide instead of rebelling? What a bunch of pieces of shit lmao
America and the west is so racist even the rise of fascism is blamed on brown people
With that kind of “support”, why have enemies? The Free Palestine movement is doing their opposition’s work far better than they could. Helping along the movement’s self-defeating strategy could be their best move: with a few more antagonistic governments, the Palestinian cause will be over in no time.

They are not supporting you, idiot. They support genocide victims.
They are not supporting you, idiot.
That’s a relief.
They support genocide victims.
And look at the encouraging results! I don’t know what those poor souls did to deserve that “support”. They’re truly unfortunate.
They’re literally at the White House as we speak lol…
The real question is why is OP still supporting a genocide now that it’s trump in office and not Biden.
Like, it apparently wasn’t about blind loyalty to Biden, they just authentically support genocide.
Rather alarming number of people I’ve encountered in the UK have a view something like “it’s horrible, but they brought it on themselves”. These don’t seem to be straightforward horrible people. As they would also say the Holocaust and Armenia and Rwanda (etc) were evil.

“I started ignoring the pro-Palestinians because I decided I don’t care anymore. Where did all the pro-Palestinians go?” -OP
where did the free Palestine protestors go
Well a bunch of them got expelled, deported, blacklisted, arrested, and more. Many of their organizations were forcibly disbanded, and the campuses where they were active have been thoroughly militarized.
Tbf he did tell us he was going to do this before the election, but “blue maga” was in vogue at the time.
Ok, Fuck Israel. I confess, it’s been a while since I typed that here.
We do. If we couldn’t convince fucking Biden why do you think Trump is gonna care
