" some Muslims warning they are unwilling to support Biden even it that risks returning Donald Trump" ...who will be eager to urge Israel to "finish" the job".
And then Trump puts in his Muslim ban.
some Muslims warning they are unwilling to support Biden even it that risks returning Donald Trump
Yep, these people are fucking morons.
We don't get good support from this one guy, so we want to make it so the guy who promises to fuck you over gets elected.
More like if we burn you burn with us
Yeah, they're morons for refusing to vote for a guy killing their friends and families. Maybe you should work harder to move the Dems away from supporting genocide.
They're not voting for Trump either. They're exercising their democratic rights. Biden should earn their votes, not be entitled to it because one guy is less overt about doing genocide.
You have a gun with one bullet. Should you shoot the guy who says he's going to stab someone or shoot the guy who says he's going to blow up a daycare full of children? Hmm. Better exercise your moral highground and do nothing. That'll show'em!
What a nonsense imaginary situation you've made up to excuse your favored genocider-in-chief. If you ever wonder how the Holocaust could've been allowed to happened, just look at your own posts trying to justify genocide happening right now.

I get your point of view because the alternative is surely worse, but from their point of view, their people and for some their own families are the ones who are dying.
Biden is the only moron here. If he wasn't fixated on supporting this genocide he'd be able to just sit back and watch the GOP eating itself alive. We'd all have a good laugh and then he'd win in November.
Instead he's playing chicken with our Democracy in defense of a far right-wing government half way across the world that despises him.
It's the most politically boneheaded shit I've seen in my entire life, and all in the name of slaughtering children. He's insisted on making it morally impossible for people to vote for him, even as the supposed "lesser of two evils".

The true morons are biden and his supporters who think supporting genocide is more important than winning the election. Stop supporting genocide and you get their votes. Seems like a win-win, but I guess biden and his supporters think that's too much winning. Typical democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Dan Koh, deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, said the administration wants “to make sure we’re as accessible as possible.” “We understand that some people do not want to engage. We respect that,” he said. “But we think that the people who have engaged have felt that it was a fruitful discussion.”
"Why isn't our good good words convincing people?!"
This is the right move. Stop talking and expect action. Otherwise, be unemployed come November.
If you're an American it seems like your choices really are between Biden and his slow genocide or Trump with his quick one.
It doesn't seem like you can really rely on your political leaders to help resolve this conflict in a way that doesn't lead to more suffering and death, only the pace at which it happens. If those are the only two options, I don't blame Muslim and Arab Americans for giving up on Biden.
I think it would just be more honest to acknowledge there's no real support amongst any American political leadership to minimise the suffering of either the Palestinian or Israeli people.
What suffering of the Israelis? They're partying and listening to shitty techno music and getting showered in free American money and weapons.
Palestinians are living in tents and starving. They'd love to be subjected to America's treatment of Israel.
Both Palestinians and Israelis see each other as existential threats. Ignoring this basic reality means there will always be conflict in the region.
Palestinians are suffering en masse right now, I don't think anyone reasonable is denying that.
But what do you think happens if the underlying, justifiable, fear that they each have of the isn't addressed? There will be more massacres and more war, and like in every war, innocent people will pay the price.
Both white slave owners and black slaves see each other as existential threats. There will be conflict. We should try to find a negotiated peace between them so the slave owners can have their slaves in peace.
Stop both-sidesing this like a dumb liberal. What's happening is colonialism and it's wrong. Wake the fuck up, Israelis are trying to replace the Palestinians, not co-exist with them. There is 75 years of history to demonstrate that.

It doesn’t matter whether Trump or Biden is President to stop the war in Gaza, what matters is that Netanyahu isn’t Prime Minister
Gantz has already said he'd also invade Rafah once he's prime minister. The issue is not Netanyahu. It's all of Israel as a racist apartheid ethnostate.
We need to stop paying attention to what the Biden government says, and pay absolute attention to what they do! They're speaking out of both sides of their mouth, FFS!
It's an election year, so yeah.
Lots of posturing, very little action.
Fuck Israel.

Donate to legal funds for those who get captured by police on April 15th or get your ass to a demonstration. This needs to stop.
