really it only makes sense.
the obvious glaring problem with all of these people who say they support the plight of the gazan people was that if they actually cared for and listened to what the gazan people were telling anyone who would actually listen to them, when it came to who the next american president should be they overwhelmingly said kamala harris.
these online activists were in effect doing the exact same thing that trump was doing with the border. they didn't care or cared very little about gazans other than using them as a tool to try to affect the kind of political revolution they jerk off to every night destroying the "corrupt duopoly" as their only real political goal.
it's good that a leading muslim organization a) listened to what gazans were saying b) considered all consequences of electing either candidate, not just the consequences regarfing gaza and c) knows that there is no such thing as a perfect political party or candidate and that demanding purity on an issue important to them is much likely to get them less influence.
hopefully this news shuts these people up for the next few weeks.
they didn't care or cared very little about gazans other than using them as a tool....
Which is very fitting, as everyone seems to be doing that. "No you cannot come into our country and integrate and forget it ever happened, because that means Israël won. You need to stay in your predicament to make a point".
"Perspectives that aren't mine are stupid and should be stopped."
Simple, which candidate is more likely to stop the Israelis in the middle east? Trump or Harris?
Neither. There has been no progress made. Biden keeps drawing lines and saying if they cross it blah blah blah, and then nothing over and over.
People should be upset the current administration is shielding Israel, its absurd. Its not the voters fault the government got caught with its pants down before a presidential election.
I want trump to lose as much as the next person but I'm not voting for the loser. Taking any criticism of the current government or democrats in general as helping the republicans is ridiculous.
So we shouldn't vote for Trump or Biden, got it.
Jill Stein obviously
^/s
Project 2O25 is being implemented with or without Trump. Unless there is a massive wave in November we can expect this rightward push to continue. This country is for sale and the White Supremacists backed by Christians are ready to buy it.
They'll have to rename it if Trump loses, though
Well between her and the man that implemented a Muslim ban….
And is talking about deporting 18 million people from the US... Not of sound mind or good character
You’d think would be more commonly talked about wouldn’t you… but nope.
And said that he'd bring it back. And that he'd deport people who support Palestinians. And that he'd send federal troops into cities to round them up...
This will be crucial in MI. I hope people are realizing that even though Joe and Kamala are not perfect in every aspect, Trump is the greatest threat for the future generations. A lot needs to change in terms of US foreign policy posture in Middle East but republicans are absolutely the wrong people to be in charge of that.
Maybe some people are just frustrated they are being told that the situation in America is far more dire than what's going on in the middle east, so we can't worry about that too much right now.
Funny how a nation full of immigrants can't seem to figure out why some groups of immigrants might care about more than just the country they currently live in.
This was essentially voters going on strike to try to effect change, and I can't say I'm against that. And look, everyone can calm down now because the strikes been called off.
Expect an immediate and massive wave of disinformation targeted to Muslim voters.
To everyone. I was under the impression they endorsed Jill Stein, seems they are not?
I wouldn't be surprised if the pro-Stein disinfo increases too. It wouldn't be a coincidence...
You mean more than we see here on a daily basis?
Pretty sure they are talking about Meta. The DoJ is starting to look at breaking up companies and Meta will do everything they can to stop it.
Ah yes, Lemmy, noted bastion of Republicans.
Lemmy.ml, yeah. Republicans with the thinnest coat of red paint possible.
Islamophobia is normalized in Western Media
Yes, but Lemmy is probably the least islamophobic platform out there, short of anything explicitly islamic.
I bet there are at least a few on .world
I agree, especially compared to places like Reddit or Twitter. I was referring more to how the humanity (or lack their of) of Muslims is framed in news articles by Western Media Outlets
No, I've seen a couple people be blatantly islamophobic here, without even going into the weirdo instances.
Thats because .world is also a wierdo instance, it's just bigger.
There’s definitely islamophobia here, but it’s “soft” compared to most other online places. And I’m not using “soft” to excuse it, but that it tends to be less bad and less noticeable here (than reddit, twitter facebook etc).
Don't laugh.
In an election where the polls are statistically tied in the battleground states, a handful of voters could make a difference.
Maybe the democrats should take a harder stance on Israel publicly to win that vote then.
Or we could just throw shit at people until they can't advocate for themselves anymore.
And risk losing the other side of the Isle. Yeah, take a hard stance and risk losing the election as a whole. Good strategy.
If we lose the election by standing against apartheid and genocide then we deserve to lose.
So who will you be voting for?
If the election was today democrat. Who knows though maybe Gaza will get napalmed by November.
If we lose the election by standing against apartheid and genocide then we deserve to lose.
Who's laughing about this?
God
These religious buffoons are all going to hell
Too bad they don't believe that.
Putin is
