Honestly, I don’t think anything significant will shift within the next four years. If the U.S. experiences serious supply chain disruptions or domestic economic pressure, the Palestinian issue will be deprioritized instantly. It’ll survive as a niche cause—activists will still push, some reporters will still cover it, and there’ll be noise on campuses—but it won’t dominate public discourse.
The only viable strategy I see is strategic piggybacking.
If the pro-Palestine movement aligns itself with causes people already care about—like personal freedoms, free speech, or government overreach—then it stands a chance of staying relevant as a side effect of those broader concerns.
But as a standalone issue? Once inflation, housing, tariffs, factory shutdowns, or job loss hit harder, Palestine will become a background issue for most. People will relegate it to moral afterthoughts unless it can be logically linked to something that directly impacts them.
And honestly, that’s probably where the “battle” will happen. The deciding factor will be the cohesiveness of the glue—or the strength of the paperclip.
