How do you think the genocide in Palestine (caused by the country of Israel) would stop? Would there be a revolution? Is the genocide because of imperialism running rampant? Does socialism has the tools necessary to stop this genocide (among other things)?

    Is there any way we can rally them to support Palestine (and let them watch Trump squirm over his supporters supporting Palestine?)

      Simply letting them turn against Israel without too much pushback though do keep in mind their other values still differ immensely. But Palestine does no have the luxuries of choosing its allies.

      For a far broader take on possible actions this great (very long) video recently came out https://youtu.be/bYkfmC6XFvs

          Tldr organise groups for direct action protests similar to Palestine Action. Try to hit the Israeli supply chain to the West where it hurts. Either by targeting military producers or by being a massive hindrance to companies supply chains to Israel.

          Also people should stop denouncing Hamas and other violent resistance against colonialism.*

      MAGA is an “America first” movement, so the opposition to Israel is probably a combination of it not being “America first” and Christian nationalist ideologies, so I have no idea why they would ever support Palestine instead.

        Nobody has to support Palestine to say they are sick of all this crap. I have no interest in supporting them, but I want the nonsense to stop. Genocide is bad no matter who it is.

          I’ve seen a mix of them admiring countries enacting reactionary policies or being “orderly” (tends to be connected with religion to an extent) and dissing countries that do the opposite or for holding different religious values, but they seem to think that the US needs to have homogeneous values/demographics “like other countries do”. Israel may fall under the “holding different religious values” category in their book (depends on how MAGA they are), and Palestine does a lot more so.
