MODERATORS
 

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.”

Tankies: "B-but now we can't swing the election to Trump with our constant whining and unrealistic demands!"

Trump will cause millions to die in the middle East and in Ukraine. Being pro peace and pro Trump is impossible. These people are either massive, massive morons or saboteurs.

If you think changing a position on genocide is unreasonable, you are the problem. No one is saying dont protect israel, no one is saying they cant defend themselves. Neither situation applies atm. Israel is the aggressor at this point.

Have you ever noticed how everyone goes on and on about the right to defend themselves and then conveniently ignoring that as soon as the threat is neutralized self defense no longer applies?

Israel is the antagonist at this point. They dont have to keep invading new regions. They've managed to kill more hostages than they've rescued.

They keep killing journalist, doctors, nurses, etc from international organizations.

If you think telling kamala and the Democrats to stop supporting this is unreasonable: You. Are. The. Problem.

Refusing to support genocide is an unrealistic demand, and it also makes you a tankie, despite the fact that tankies are known for refusing to acknowledge historical genocides.

😂 imagine thinking not supporting a genocide is an unreasonable demand. Say the quiet part out loud. Phew.

Seek help child. You certainly need it.

I think you misunderstood my point. I am absolutely opposed to genocide and all those who support it.
