Subject: “Extreme Danger”: Harris Earns a Stunning Endorsement Over Trump |
URL: Kamala Harris has earned an eleventh-hour show of support from Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim community leaders. |
|
For akira, with love...
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.”
The letter describes an “awful situation where only flawed choices are
available.”
“In our view, it is crystal clear that allowing the fascist Donald Trump to
become President again would be the worst possible outcome for the
Palestinian people. A Trump win would be an extreme danger to Muslims in
our country, all immigrants, and the American pro-Palestine movement,” the
letter states.
The letter includes several reasons why the coalition believes Trump would
be far worse for Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, and all those organizing for
Palestinians. The writers cite Trump’s bloodthirsty remark last week about
how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should “go further” in Gaza, while
criticizing President Joe Biden for “holding him back.” At the time, Trump
hailed Netanyahu for doing a “good job” and voiced his support for
expanding military operations into Lebanon, where Israel has killed at least
1,800 people in the past five weeks alone.
The letter also notes Trump’s ties to Zionist Republican megadonor Miriam
Adelson, who is pushing for Trump to allow Israel to illegally annex the West
Bank. Israel has killed 165 children in the occupied West Bank in the last
year.
“Voting for Harris is not a personal endorsement of her or of the policy
decisions of the administration in which she served. It’s an assessment of
the best possible option to continue fighting for an end to the genocide, a
free Palestine, and all else that we hold dear,” the letter says, asking others
to place the immediate needs of their communities over their dissatisfaction
with Harris. The group dismissed third-party candidates such as Jill Stein,
saying that voting for them could only “make Donald Trump president.”
“If our communities ally with the Green Party to defeat Harris, we risk
marginalizing ourselves as they did by alienating the tens of millions of
voters who support the cause of Palestinian freedom and are fighting to
defeat Trump by electing her,” the letter continues.
The letter urges that after the election, they can hold Harris accountable
with “every nonviolent tool of democracy.” Such tools would likely not be
available under Trump, who has vowed to deport pro-Palestinian protesters
and threatened to turn the military against his own citizens.
Since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has struggled
to find footing with Arab and Muslim voters, after spurning the Uncommitted
Party’s request for a Palestinian speaker at the Democratic National
Convention in August.
A poll released Monday conducted by Arab News/YouGov found that Trump
led Harris 45 percent to 43 percent among Arab Americans. Those voters
said that they viewed Trump as more supportive of Israel’s current
government, but that he was more likely to end the conflict.
Harris has repeatedly delivered milquetoast talking points about defending
Israel’s “right to defend itself,” and touting Palestinians’ “right to dignity,”
though her statements have not gone much further than that.
Earlier this month, the Biden administration threatened to reevaluate military
support if Israel did not improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza and reduce
civilian casualties within 30 days. In response to reports from the U.N. that
Israel had prevented aid from entering Gaza, Harris posted on X, “Israel
must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need. Civilians
must be protected and have access to food, water, and medicine.
International humanitarian law must be respected.”

slow to realize.

Hey, I think she's less than great, but I voted for her already. I prefer her to
Trump, but have no illusions or expectations that she'll do anything about the
environment, climate, healthcare costs, inflation or curbing support for the
terrorist state of Israel.

Thank you..the rest will no doubt take further work, as
all matters of these magnitude do.
But at least with Harris, there is a new chance.

She can't do much on those issues without a friendly
Congress and a Senate. She can be a reasonable voice
in deliberately constructed chaotic time.

which is why I started phone banking for a couple of
congressional swing races in our state.
Our state (calif) will probably not be a factor in the
Presidential this time around. But, it is in position to
hinge on who gets the house.
If Harris wins, she will need a non-hostile house.

oh bullshit. Biden has been bypassing congress (and doing it illegally) for over
a year to give the terrorist state of Israel US taxpayer money and weapons &
diplomatic cover. She would have a bully pulpit if she could figure out how to
use it effectively.

"She would have a bully pulpit if she could figure out how to use it effectively."
You know, at this point I am hopeful, I am believing she will. I am envisioning her
ability to walk that line and do it with grace.
After all, she's the only chance we're offered. So I am all in on looking forward
to her pulling it off. It certainly will be refreshing.

She's learned a tremendous amount in just the last 4
yrs as VP, obviously. There are few that could become
a nominee and do what she did in just three months,
with such improvement.
She's obviously a fast learner, and wicked smart. But I
knew she was smart when I followed her and Ca AG and
Senator..but she's learning logarithmically still.
She made mistakes in the past..but who doesn't? This is
not easy and not meant to be.
What I watch, personally--do they make the same
mistakes? Or do they learn, correct and get better?
She's definitely the latter. That's a sign of talent
and intelligence.
Trump is making the same ones over and over. That's
someone who cannot learn.
