US Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.
“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.
This may be shocking, but biden’s support for the genocide is already “to the hilt”. Before you try to explain English to me, try to understand the reality of the situation. The leadership of both parties fully and unconditionally support israel. Things will absolutely get worse because the genocide is going to proceed regardless of which party is in charge. Your tired harm reduction argument falls apart when you understand what is actually happening.
Here, have a read: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/17/netanyahu-weapons-biden
That reflects a severe paucity of understanding of the US’s capabilities in this situation.
I’m well aware of the US’s capabilities, but apparently biden isn’t because he bent over for a fascist in a foreign country to supply their campaign of genocide with billions of dollars in weapons. I dunno, maybe biden enjoys being bibi’s little bitch, but he certainly didn’t do anything to impede the genocide.
I would like you to use your capabilities and read the article I posted. Here it is again in case you missed it: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/17/netanyahu-weapons-biden
Please read that and tell me how the democratic party would have been different over the next four years.
How does that in any way contradict what I said?
You don’t understand how it can get worse because you think the current level of support is the most the US can do to support the genocide. In the next four years, though likely it will gruesomely end sooner, you’ll see hard evidence of just how much more support the US can lend to this atrocity, since apparently abstract thinking is not your strong point.
It’s funny that you accuse me of being bad at abstract thinking when you couldn’t understand the simple point I was making that just like the US has the capabilities to make things worse, they also have the capabilities to make things better, which biden has not used at all. He has pledged billions of dollars in weapons and permitted any actions that israel takes. Apparently the idea of things actually getting better just does not compute in your mind. This nicely sums up everything wrong with the democratic party and why they’re not actually opposition but rather a tag team partner with republicans. The genocide of the Palestinian people will proceed regardless of which party is in power.
You’re so busy hammering the point that you’d rather eat shit with a kernel of corn in it because at least there is corn in there, but you’re still eating shit.
Okay? That’s not at all relevant to the fact that things can get much worse, something you denied, and what we’re arguing about.
Don’t know why I expected any sort of consistency from you, though. Anything to peddle your fascist-enabling genocide-supporting “BOTHSIDES” shite, self-contradiction be damned.
You’re making a pointless argument. Things can always get worse. Name anything that could be done and I’ll tell you how it could be made worse. All you’re doing is distracting from the fact that both democrats and republicans are supporting a genocide and it’s not going to stop until Palestine does not exist anymore. The end result is the fucking same and you’re here arguing over pointless technicalities as if they mean anything. Get a clue.
Ah, that explains it, you think that speeding up the genocide of Palestinians is a ‘pointless technicality’. How… charming.
How do you measure this “speed up”? What you consider a speed up could’ve simply been the progression of the campaign which would’ve occurred under democrats as well. Either way the end result is the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people. Do you think starving them all to death is better than bombing them all to death just because it’s slower?
