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.”
Those aren’t my goals but I would very much like to see them.
That vast majority of information skimmers have guaranteed that the genocide is going to happen no matter what you, I, or the people who put in the time & effort do.
Likewise our political duopoly in this country is too well financed and experienced to expect it change anytime soon.
My goal is to learn how to not perpetuate & participate in the same generational violence & genocide that my ancestors in this country experienced and is now being visited upon by the gazans and at the hands of the same system and people.
One of the things I have learned so far is that no real leftist believes that voting third party is going to prevent the genocide; like me they’re doing it for their own reasons so it’s clear that the information skimmers are pushing a straw man that says otherwise.
The manner in which the genocide takes place is the only thing we can influence; but not in the way it’s understood by the information skimmers. The actions of the Biden & Harris make it clear that they’re willing to risk it all to support Israel in its goals for the genocide; despite whatever their words suggest; and Trump’s ineptitude along with this demonstrated disinterest & ignorance in foreign affairs also guarantees that Israel will achieve their goals for the genocide.
The question then becomes: will the democrats be allowed to sugar coat it and give token gestures to give Israel the political room it needs to achieve their goals for the genocide past January or will the Republicans be allowed to create policies to simply ignore it; either action is still reaching the same end.
Given that this is the same system and people that my ancestors knew: I foresee a future where gazans continue to exist in native american like reservations in Israel whose populations have been genocided into numbers small enough to guarantee that they will never be able resist the boot on their collective necks ever again in the future.
I also believe that the idf’s wanton destruction over generational wealth building capital like real estate; a workforce; and an economy imposes a new generational poverty that guarantees that the future surviving gazans will be controlled by Israeli government purse strings; like the native americans experience with the American government’s purse strings.
