A very wise decision by Arab American leaders to endorse Kamala Harris.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-very-wise-and-correct-decision-as.htmlWe've been saying it here ever since Israel began bombing Gaza. The best chance the people of Gaza have to see this bombardment and destruction end is the election of Kamala Harris to the Presidency.
Protest votes, in critical times, never achieve their intended outcome. Israel is at war with Gaza right now, a war that, in spite of it being prompted by a very evil, destructive, tragic, Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, has gone beyond acceptable boundaries when it comes to civilian casualties. Even though it is Hamas that uses the tactic of embedding itself among the civilian population, there is a measure of responsibility for a military with the technological advances of the IDF when it comes to deciding to go ahead and accept collateral damage among civilians and civilian infrastructure in order to achieve a military objective.

Please pick up a copy of Project 2025 and give it a good, thorough read through.
Project 2025 is the Trump agenda. It is a thorough blue print for the establishment of a Christian nationalist dictatorship in the United States, and its authors, who are far right wing Evangelical Christians, representing an extremist faction that, if Trump succeeds in winning the White House, will enact its agenda to turn the country away from constitutional democracy into a living hell of tyrannical assault on anyone who is not white, Christian and lined up with the idea of a Christian nation.
Individual constitutional rights will be removed, and the first people to be attacked, vilified, deported if possible, or pushed out if that's the case, will be Arab American supporters of the Palestinian people.
Jill Stein cannot protect you from this. Stein has never been able to deliver on a single promise she has ever made politically, because she has never exhibited anything close to the kind of leadership necessary to attract more than a tiny handful of supporters. Her political understanding is dubious, she is not a patriotic American, but she is a dupe of Vladimir Putin. She exhibits no leadership qualities and doesn't attract anyone to lead except a political party that doesn't seem very motivated to achieve its own objectives, because it never really tries.
Donald Trump is your enemy. He's the one who is going to push you out, more than likely in some illegal way, like turning his army of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers loose in your communities. Hamtramck will resemble Gaza in more ways than one. The restraint Arabs desire to see on American participation in this war, in its supply of ammunition for the Israelis, will not materialize. The Christian nation that is part of the vision of Project 2025 has no room for an Islamic minority. And since a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump, and a vote for Trump is a vote for the destruction of the American Muslim community, this is not a wise choice.
