Dearborn is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arab Americans and has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold. But this year that all changed.
“All she had to do was stop the war in Lebanon and Gaza and she would receive everyone’s votes here,” Dearborn’s Democratic mayor, Abdullah Hammoud, told the Associated Press.
Spot the mayor who has no idea what the job of Vice President actually is…
Depending on what they mean by “stop the war” in gaza, if they mean the current hostilities (which, yeah it’s what she probably meant) or end the conflict in its entirety, that could be the biggest God damn ask I’ve ever heard.
All it would take is threatening an arms embargo. Presidents have stopped Israel via a single phone call before, and they need our billions of dollars worth of bombs to continue. Don’t act like we’re powerless small beans here.
Worst case, they keep going but not on our dime and not with our support.
The US is supplying the vast majority of weapons, paying billions of aid and vetoing any UN resolution against one party of the genocide. Also the US built a landing pier, allegedly for delivering aid. Instead of aid it delivered soldiers who slaughtered some 300 people in a “hostage rescue mission”. Also the US provides surveillance flights, shoots down missiles and drones sent to stop the genocider from genociding…
Saying the US is not a party in this, and insinuating that the US has no options to stop this is absurd. The US could stop the weapons flow and stop the diplomatic cover and this genocide would be over within days.
Fucking Ronald Reagan stopped an Israeli onslaught in Lebanon with a single phone call. The US has that power. Biden and Harris choose not to use it every single day. Instead they use their power to make sure enough weapons are there that the slaughter can continue.
“we armed the bully with brass knuckles and body armor and all the implicit endorsement that kind of thing brings but he usually just chokes out his victims with his bare hands so AKSHUALLY we are blameless here” 🤓☝️
That is not an argument against not supplying bombs, artillery and tank shells, fighter jets… And the vast majority of Israeli attacks are not sniper attacks. Also without the US sending missile systems to protect Israel against the neighbors intervening, that gives the cover under which the snipers can act with impunity.
No, what I’m saying is stopping the supply of arms won’t stop the genocide. Folks who make that argument are kidding themselves.
There is only one way to stop the genocide and that’s a full scale invasion of Israel to separate the two parties and force them to behave, but nobody has the balls to float that idea.

Particularly since the US is not one of the parties at war.

Stopping the weapons won’t stop Israeli snipers from killing innocent kids. Bullets are super cheap.
