Leopards prepare face-eating feast

For reasons I may elaborate in a future post but frankly think are too obvious to require much elaboration, I don’t think either Biden’s policy toward Gaza nor people being very angry about the policy were material to Trump winning. Some public officials in Dearborn, however, would like to claim credit for Trump winning:

Now, many Arab American residents in Dearborn “feel like they’ve been redeemed,” said Michael Sareini, Dearborn city council president. “They wanted to send a message and they did.”

“This stance on endless wars and killing of innocent women and children has got to end,” he said.

A message has indeed been sent:

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.”

Israel’s conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon are set to dominate meetings in the Middle East and at the White House this week, after deadly Israeli airstrikes over the weekend highlighted the increasingly brutal toll.

On Monday, top officials from Arab and Islamic countries are meeting for a summit in Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, to “discuss the continued Israeli aggression on the Palestinian territories and the Lebanese Republic, and the current developments in the region,” according to Saudi state media.

Personally, “giving Benjamin Netanyahu the electoral outcome he desperately wanted” strikes me as a problematic strategy for ending the slaughter in Palestine, but I guess we’ll see how it works out. I will say that in American politics “it can’t really get worse” is an assumption with a very, very bad track record.
