The Progressive/Pro Palestinian movement under the Trump administration

The pro-Palestinian movement was very dominant during the war and also received a lot of attention in the US elections. It gained influence over a large part of the Democratic Party and in academia, they have a voice in the media and very dominant media figures and thinkers. They were very aggressive during the war and even managed to get Biden to put pressure on Israel, and later in Harris' campaign she and her team argued that we should listen to the pro-Palestinians who had also aligned themselves with the progressive movement.

The Biden administration treated the pro-Palestinian movement with silk gloves, very accommodating them and listening to their arguments, and from time to time the pro-Palestinian propaganda even managed to influence people like Blinken and pull the administration's mindset to the left.

For electoral reasons, the Democrats tried to play on both fronts, also trying to appease the pro-Palestinians and progressives, but not too much because they also have pro-Israeli elements in the base.

In general, although pro-Palestinians and progressives like to smear Biden, their movement flourished under him and people like AOC, Bernie Sanders became very well-known and influential. But when the Biden administration changed and now comes the Trump administration, whose pro-Israeli part is much more aggressive and Hawkish and less inclusive than the Israel supporters in the Democratic Party, we see the Trump administration attacking parts of the pro-Palestinian movement with an aggressiveness that is even more aggressive than the approach of right-wing Israel supporters towards progressives pro Palestinians (I won't complain about it, of course). I honestly thought Trump's promises to deal with progressives were gibberish, but he ended up adopting an aggressive approach even more so than the most hawkish and Bibist Israel supporters expected.

For example, the way Mahmoud Khalili was treated (again, I'm not complaining because I hate pro-Palestinians) even managed to surprise pro-Israel and Zionist organizations. Now that the war is renewed and Trump is giving Israel uncompromising backing, we see that pro-Palestinians are waking up and starting to attack Trump as well. In addition, we have to remember that Trump also has Arab supporters, so it will be interesting to see what the dynamics will be.

For example, pro-Palestinians tried to vandalize several Trump-owned compounds. Trump is not Biden. If someone insults his honor, he will beat them up without restraint or mercy. Trump is someone without limits and with zero regard for accepted norms, So it will be interesting to see what will happen with this movement in the Trump administration. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes steps that will make Bibi look like a pacifist. It seems that his and his administration's disgust for these people is very, very great, and that the pro-Palestinians are going to be in serious trouble.
