First of all, your system is broken. Second, what is a Palestinian American supposed to do? Biden is literally providing the ammunition to kill their families. Trump isn’t any better, but that doesn’t mean voting for another genocidal maniac is a viable option.
You asking Palestinian/Muslim Americans to simply look past that is a very self centered perspective. You say then people will be deported and thrown into camps. That’s what Palestinians were fleeing from in the first place. They fled before, they’ll do it again if they have to. They’re living in diaspora anyway. So do the millions of other Muslim Americans who are here because of Western geopolitics.
You on the other hand who try to bully them into voting for Biden because it serves your purpose, have nowhere to go. If you want progress for your country and you consider Biden only the lesser evil. Instead of bullying fellow Americans into serving your purpose, why don’t you focus on your common goal instead? Respect their opinion, support their cause.
Join their protests against Biden, pressurize him into stopping the genocide, pressurize the DNC into sending someone else as their presidential candidate.
Palestinian Americans should be pushing for the removal of Hamas. That's clearly their best path to peace and prosperity, yet.... the outwardly genocidal leadership of the Gaza strip seems to be quite politically safe and supported internationally.
Yes just kiss the boot and the IDF won't kill you... Today.
I'm not a terrorist so I'm not at risk of being killed by the IDF.
It's really not that difficult to not be a terrorist or a terrorist supporter. There's a couple of million Arabs living in Israel that are a wonderful proof of concept for this theory.
Literally another story about the IDF shooting a civilian dropped yesterday. Holding a white flag and walking slowly towards them because he needed to get his wife out of the combat zone. Such terrorism!
You mean the unverified video that shows someone being shot? We've seen Hamas shooting civilians, if it's the video going around the other day there's no way to determine who was shooting. Send me the link if you can.
And ITV is just in the business of lying? Fuck off with your conspiracy theory level defense of warcrimes.
Ahh, so you're not going to back up your claims. Typical of those who get their information from social media. No conspiracy here, just looking for facts. You don't have any.
In not going to debate reality itself. It's a headline news item. Go read the one of the articles.
I've read them. They're mostly conjecture and not backed by much at all. I've also witnessed clear video showing Hamas shooting people holding White flags which is why I'm curious which video you're talking about and whether it shows something or like many, shows a war and lacks any ability to attribute the shot to anyone in particular.
Yup it's just all conjecture. Fuck off.
