Don’t look at the crocodile to save you from drowning

Cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face is an expression that I think aptly describes the attitude of those who are happy about the loss of the Democrats. Yes, they deserved a bloody nose and I’m glad they have been defeated for pursuing their policy of blind support for the genocide in the Middle East. This may hardly be the reason why they lost though. The Americans indulging in their customary navel gazing voted against more local issues like inflation.

I tremble in fear at the prospect of another four years of Trump. I’m glad I’m not American. But it will impact all of us.

A Palestinian person I spoke to last week said,
“Trump will stop the war.”
I have no such hopes or rather I don’t think he will resolve the Palestinian issue in their favour. Remember what he did with Jerusalem? He might just gift the whole of Gaza to the Israelis. A drowning man should not look at a crocodile to save him. He may not drown but will be eaten.
