That’s correct. There are two options and she is clearly the better choice

Agreed!

They’re right, a vote for Jill Stein is a vote for more dead Palestinians and more Muslim discrimination in the United States. Remember the Muslim ban? Harris is the only choice. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.

I’m half Arab, and I do have a choice on who I vote for. And I’m very happy to cast that vote for Harris.

Harris will do her best for all of us. Trump will do his best for himself

Honestly why was this so hard to come around on?
Performative politics at its finest. Having the ‘uncommitted’ lingering out there didn’t help things.

At this point in time, I think Israel is playing chicken with the US election, hedging bets on GOP promises that they’ll get elected.
If the Dems can take back Congress, there’s a lot more teeth to enforce actions.

I thought this letter was pretty perfect. I’m Jewish. I want peace. I don’t know how to achieve it.
But I know that Trump and Kushner don’t give a shit about Palestinians and just want to develop real estate in the Gaza Strip.
JD Vance just incited MORE violence against immigrants tonight, this time literally singling out the children of immigrants in Michigan for attending public school. Michigan has a large immigrant population and so many Muslims. He put a target on their backs. Hateful.
I’m so appreciative that Ismael Ahmed wants what is best for his community and for all of us.

I have seen so many Arab Americans on social media simping for Jill Stein it’s getting ridiculous.

Why does the Author not demand that Hamas return the hostages? Hamas has rejected several ceasefires and refused to return hostages. Returning the remaining hostages would result in a ceasefire and end the war. Hamas has killed and holds American hostages too – yet neither the Author nor our leaders (other than Trump) mentions the Americans being held by this foreign enemy.
Does the Author also condemn Communist China, which is committing a UN-declared Genocide against his fellow Muslims? Yet another large scale genocide and/or slaughter at the hands of socialists – be they national or global socialists.

Unfortunately there are a group of Arab’s who strongly align with the anti LGBTQ messaging of the right, believe that Trump is the better choice for helping bring peace to middle east, and think they can gain political sway because they can become a voting block that will demand attention if they can help get Trump elected.

Democracy is dead if we vote because we have no choice

I think saying “Trump is worse” is the wrong move.
The right move is saying “Netanyahu wants Trump to win”.

“We have no choice but to vote for Kamala Harris.”
No shit, Sherlock! She is the ONLY choice.

If you’re Pro-Palestine, the only reason not to vote for Harris is if you value your ego and “showing it to the dems!” more than the actual suffering of the Palestinian people.

Successfully radicalizing a subset of the left against Biden / Harris due to the atrocities occurring in Palestine was I fear a masterstroke by those who want Trump in power. It’s wild to watch extremely liberal and trans people I know vow not to vote at all. Do they not understand that all that does is help Trump win? That despite their best intentions, this could in fact make things worse? All I see in the end are not people who abstain from voting due to their conscience, but people who are effectively saying they are okay with a Trump presidency.
We judge ourselves on intention and others on their action. NOT voting is an action, an action that says you didn’t do the bare minimum to prevent a Trump presidency.
Right now, the only moral thing to do is vote Harris, because short of electing her we are absolutely chunked as a country and as a planet. Just so many consequences to this. Climate change, supreme court, human rights, basic rule of law! etc. etc. etc.
Right now, to say you won’t vote because Biden wanted war, is cutting off your nose to spite your face. It’s short sighted, misguided, and dangerous. Deal with him Nov. 6th once we finally rid ourselves of that walking colostomy bag once and for all.

I wonder if they can find an Arab-American activist not appointed to power by the Democratic Party to write this article, lol.

You’d be surprised. People do have other options and many will take them. If Harris actually wants to win, she’ll have to address the extremists in her party and be more forceful on her push for peace in the region. Continuing to aid and abet and protect Israel in its ongoing criminal genocide is not the way.

Upvoted because somehow voting for the guy who banned Muslims from coming into the US is the better option
