They make a great point. But nobody here read the article.

[-] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 hour ago

I read the article, they are not making any points other than a completely empty claim that only Palestinians get to decide.

What they should be doing is profusely apologizing for their catastrophic stupidity while rallying people to try and impeach the orange felon.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

Clearly you did not read the article.

"Over the past 16 months, the Biden-Harris administration's full, unobstructed support for Israel's campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has failed to remove the Palestinians of Gaza from their land," Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Muslim-American led Abandon Harris campaign, said in a statement to Newsweek.

"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine."

I think we're about to find out what the "full support" of the US actually looks like

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 18 points 15 hours ago

Glad to see they're sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we'll do it again if they don't give in to the demands.

How the fuck are the sticking to their guns? They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.

Literally the opposite of "sticking to their guns"

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

???

Which guy did they campaign for?

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Ah, OP was referencing a different group of faces being offered up yesterday in conjunction with this.

https://apnews.com/article/arab-americans-trump-gaza-name-peace-479f6777cac7bac52fb098daa0821cb5

They endorsed, campaigned for, and voted for the guy that just said to ethnically cleanse Gaza and had his First Lady give a neo Nazi salute twice at his inauguration.

Man you're really out of touch with the Arab community here.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago

Go right ahead, not like there will be much to fight over after Trump turns Gaza into a Israeli resort town.

I'm rooting for you!

Everyone of these dumb fucks can just go shut the fuck up. They are one of the main reasons for the Trump victory. All of them knew Trump would be worse, but they were all too fucking stupid to just go with the least bad option. Kamala was not a good candidate, but she was better than Trump in every facet.

[-] Ghosthacked@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

The vote was down to preservation of democracy or end democracy and start FACISM. Murika voted for fascism.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

They were too insignificant to listen to. They're too insignificant to blame.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago

Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame. They aren't as bad as people that directly voted for him, but they are the next worst thing and the difference between is borderline indiscernible.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

If democrats can blame them, they were fools to ignore them.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

It's true but they still made the choice they made, and that's unforgivable. Fuck em, Trump lovers.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 54 minutes ago

It’s true but

...but you want to blame people whose families were getting genocided for not being happy to vote like you ordered them to.

Your party shat the bed. They knew who they had to appeal to in order to win. But since that's beneath them, they lost.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

No, it's not about them doing what we "ordered" them to. It's about them doing what would result in the best outcome for themselves.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame.

Centrists ignored them on the grounds that they could afford to lose them. You were wrong.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 hours ago

There is nothing centrist about acknowledging the fact that they fucked both themselves and everyone else.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

There is nothing centrist about acknowledging the fact that they fucked both themselves and everyone else.

Except blaming people you screamed at for a solid year.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

They were and still are idiots. They knew what was at stake and made their decision. They decided to support fascism and Trump and defending that decision is the same the same thing.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

They were and still are idiots. They knew what was at stake and made their decision.

I know. And they lost votes because they wouldn't give up support for genocide. Naturally, since no centrist can ever admit when they're wrong, they blame the voters they hate.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

Downvoted for intentional misinterpretation of a quote. It's not clever.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Paint it however you want. The people that were rightfully upset about Gaza made the choice to support Trump knowing it would be worse. Their actions directly supported putting him in power and hurting Gaza further. No amount of complaining about how bad Harris maybe would have been matters because the other factor was always known. When someone knows all of the facts and still makes the choice to support Trump, they're a Nazi sympathizer. So I say again, fuck em for supporting fascism.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

At least you showed them who's boss. Can you imagine the mere anarchy that would have ensued if democrats had listened?

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

Gee thanks, next time we'll singlehandedly change the democratic party's platform

[-] whytho@lemm.ee 18 points 16 hours ago

who ever thought trump would be better for palestinians is dumb asf. not saying harris would have done a good job since it seems no president will take their side.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 12 hours ago

How completely unexpected to see the libs firmly deciding that this is all the fault of brown people.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

https://midwest.social/comment/15162938

While they appreciate Trump’s commitment to rebuilding Gaza,

Fucking lol

They're just that stupid.

Well aren't you just the hypocritical ass.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 12 minutes ago* (last edited 10 minutes ago)

1: These aren't people that refused to vote for a lesser evil. They're Trump voters. Willing greater evil supporters.

2: There's a difference between blaming them for the loss over, you know, Democratic mismanagement and the conservative base being fascists in general.

3: Interesting that that wasn't immediately obvious to you. All Muslims that don't Vote Blue No Matter Who are equal in your eyes? You can hardly tell them apart!

[-] hark@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

The situation in Palestine is going to get worse under trump, but then things were also getting worse while under Biden too. There is no winning for Palestinians because the plan is for Israel to take over the entire area. Policy over partisanship, as AIPAC puts it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlKmWa8p4UM
