"Extreme Danger": Harris Earns a Stunning Endorsement Over Trump
Kamala Harris has earned an eleventh-hour show of support from Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim community leaders.
(snip)
Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply cant 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.

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 Trumps 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.

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.

but I imagine it may have some ripple effect.

who blames Harris for everything Israel does while totally ignoring Trump's guarantee that he will do far worse than the Biden administration.
