Not surprising. I'm sure they'll do as much wars and expansion as they can get away with. It's not like the US, or even Europe for that matter, has stopped providing weapons and support for genocide. Let alone their other theaters of ethnic cleansing and settler colonialist expansion

That's a very active area of research, there's a handful of farms on at least the west coast experimenting with utilizing solar in that way. Either to shade certain crops or as shade for livestock, while of course getting the solar energy benefits

what the average Trump voter thinks

That's the great thing about a cult, no need for thinking when you can dogmatically parrot what the leader says instead

Although, if someone explained to them 1-to-1 how nationalization would reduce their bills, I'd bet a surprising amount would support it (until the scary word socialism gets mentioned)

By what, understanding why Harris' campaign failed?

You're making the liberals upset

They're too busy blaming voters instead of the godawful campaign. They have zero interest in understanding why there was record low turnout, and instead smugly blame pro-palestinian voices for the loss

They only explicitly mention Christian Zionism, it looks like it's a response to Christian Zionists meddling in particular

The document, signed collectively by the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem, directly challenges efforts by pro-Israel evangelical networks to insert themselves into ecclesiastical affairs in the region—efforts which have grown increasingly visible and politically influential over the past decade.

Which I consider weak IMO, they should condemn all Zionism explicitly. But perhaps they're worried Israel will shut them down if they do. Which if so, I can't respect acting out of fear instead of standing up for their neighbors humanity

Obviously, anything less than full annexation and maximum cleansing is antisemitic /s

Today the idea of a country is often conflated with the modern concept of ‘nation-state’, but this was not always the case and countries existed long before nationalism or the creation of metanarratives for the nation-state. The conception of Palestine as a geo-political unit and a country (Arabic: bilad or qutr), with evolving boundaries, has developed historically and continues to do so. The identity and cultures of Palestine are living organisms: they change, evolve and develop. This work explores the representation of Palestine over time as a mixture of the perceived and conceived and the lived realities of the country.

No, you're just angrily venting indistinguishable to someone who is, making up my position, and getting angry at what you made up. If that's how you act when someone offers any sort of help than go ahead and ignore it.

Sounds like you've gone down tbe blackpill/incel rabbit hole, hopefully these videos might help. You should also at least read books such as cPTSD by Pete Walker if you're not looking for therapy, which is for everyone.

It's been ethnic cleansing since before the nakba, it's simply ramping up in intensity once again

Again, wrong. Maybe do so reading.

Unless you mean state as in nationalism, wasn't a thing until the 19th century. Where Palestine was self-governing under the ottoman empire until British occupation began.

From the Introduction

Conventional wisdoms are often articulated by powerful elites; they are not always based on facts. The conventional wisdom is that Palestine never in its history experienced self-government, political or cultural autonomy, not to mention practical sovereignty and actual statehood. Nothing is further from the truth. As we shall amply demonstrate in this work, over three millennia from the late Bronze Age and until the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948, Palestine enjoyed a great deal of social, political and economic autonomy and also experienced statehood through six distinct, though not mutually exclusive, ways – ways which had a profound impact on the evolution of the ideas of Palestine across the millennia:

• Autonomous economic and monetary systems and the issuing of Palestinian currency: the institution of independent monetary policies and the minting of distinct Palestinian currency were evident in the cases of the coinage of Philistia or Philisto-Arabian in the 6th‒4th centuries BC (discussed in chapter one) and the minting of Arab currency ‘in Filastin’ throughout early Islam (discussed in chapter six).

• Imperial patron‒protégé systems: the construction of patron‒client systems and the rise of local and autonomous regional and urban elites in Palestine, as was in the case of the ‘urban notables’ of Ottoman Palestine. But ultimately, as we shall see in chapter eight, these Ottoman urban elites in Palestine were rule-takers not rule-makers and rule-breakers.

• Administrative, provincial and military autonomy: this is evident throughout the Roman and Byzantine periods in what became widely known as Provincia Palaestina or the Dux Palaestinae, the ‘military commander of Palestine’ (discussed in chapter four), Mutawalli Harb Filastin (“ ”, Military Governor of Palestine) (discussed in chapter six) and in late Ottoman period Palestine with the creation of the autonomous administrative Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem as the key province of Palestine (discussed in chapter nine).

• Palestinian client states: the emergence and creation of several Palestinian client states, partly based on the same patron‒client relationships. Although the types of client states in Palestine and the degree of their subordination to imperial or powerful states varied significantly, the kings of Philistia throughout much of the Iron Age, the client King Herod the Great under the Romans in the 1st century AD (discussed in chapter four), the Ghassanid tribal Arab federate kings (supreme phylarchs) of Palaestina Secunda, Palaestina Prima and Palaestina Tertia in the 6th and early 7th centuries (discussed in chapter five) and to a lesser extent the autonomous regime of Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar in the 18th century were cases in point.

• Palestinian practical sovereignty and statehood: this was achieved by Daher al-‘Umar following his successful rebellion against Ottoman rule in the middle of the 18th century (discussed in chapter eight).

• Ecclesiastical independence and autocephaly: this was achieved by the Church of Aelia Capitolina and Provincia Palaestina from the mid-5th century following the Council of Chalcedon (discussed in chapter four).
