More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

    Should I tell this to my Palestinian compatriots that are nothing but contemptuous for those justifying supporting genociders?

    Sure, but you better make sure that you do it before January 6th, because if Trump wins, it is not going to take very long for Netanyahu to kill every Palestinian in Gaza.

    But I’m sure by then you will have found some way to absolve yourself (either that, or it’s literally the outcome you want).

      Netanyahu already has unconditional support from the US. You cannot just pretend your way into putting a bigger gun to someone’s head. The Biden-Harris regime is genociding Gaza and rather than oppose it, you are defending them.

      But I’m sure by then you will have found some way to absolve yourself (either that, or it’s literally the outcome you want).

      I require no absolution, I work against genocide.

      You betray your guilty conscience with your incredibly selective responses, though.
