Wonder what they think Trump would have done differently.
Seriously. Trump is advocating turning Gaza into a parking lot.
And it's not like Democrats have exactly been shy of their general support of Israel, if you've paid any attention at all. They just also happen to acknowledge that Palestinians are people, unlike most Republicans.
Sure don't vote Biden. Just vote for the fascist Republicans that previously banned people from muslim countries. That will work, right gaiz? Plus any Republican president won't ever send Gaza aid. Biden is sending aid.

Yeah. Does anybody else think that this "One strike and you're dead to me, regardless of how complex the issue is" thing is getting a little out of hand? The only winning move here is not to play, but then he would be attacked from both sides for appearing apathetic.
So instead of diminished aid for Palestine, you’d rather… checks notes… travel bans for all middle eastern people trying to go to the US, except for people from a handful of governments who are actively giving Trump money?
Don't forget Trump's son-in-law's middle east foreign policy plan for Israel that Palestinian supporting groups rejected and weren't consulted with further. Israel was to be allowed to annex existing settled positions, and no further expansion from either side. Israeli settlers haven't adhered to this "peace plan" anyway.
Any Americans staying home at elections, this type of foreign policy is what they tacitly support.
Islam and far right Christianity have a lot in common. Wouldn't surprise me that the Muslim community would side with the party that wants to limit women's rights and LGBTQ rights.
Single issue voters are myopic
Eh. I’d argue that if your single issue is climate change, you’re rather sharp sighted. But I take your point in general.
“I am willing to vote for a much worse actual fascist monster who will 100% use his presidency to destroy democracy and those that tried to hold him accountable, all because Biden… stood with an ally during a horrendous terrorist attack even though because of Biden Israel has slowed its roll and allowed aid in”
The full brainless take from that moron. What an emotionally stunted bullshit opinion
Or they could just not vote at all like most Americans
In a two party system, abstention is a vote for the person you hate most.
So, like, are they going to vote for the guy that literally has "banning Muslims" as a platform?
They might vote for neither.
So a half vote for the party that wants them banned. Smart.
Welp…good lucky with that other guy, whomever that might be.
My feeling is that this "betrayed" part of Muslim is the socially conservative one that voted left because the right was racists and pro Israel. But if the left is pro Israel as well, then they might as well vote right to get conservative (pro life, misogynistic) policies forward
TBH, the bizarre cognitive dissonance in all these religious types (pick one) bypasses all rational thought processes.
Ok, but then don‘t cry when Trump gets reelected
So their option would be...what?
I will simply not vote, unless I get another decent option like Bernie Sanders. Any other genocide denying piece of shit can kick rocks.
I will simply not vote
You may not see a choice that gets better in your single issue, but not voting may be a choice for the worse on many issues you also care about
Genocide denying? Best I can tell Biden is in support of stopping the violence and negotiating peace which would be a two state solution.
A man giving up his life for the USA is not enough to stop Trump from berating that soldier's surviving family publicly.

If Arab and Muslim want to choose that over Biden because of Palestine well then I'll not contribute ever again to a rebuilding of the mosque in my community.
Consider my face eaten, leopards.
religion makes people do the dumbest shit
If I have to choose between eating a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich with broken glass, I'm gonna choose the one without the broken glass every time. So many people seem to think that eating the one with broken glass, or letting someone else choose, is somehow taking a stand against shit sandwiches.
Yeah, vote for a republican because that’s definitely not going to fuck you. And let’s fucking be real, all you pedants: a vote other than Biden is a vote for the republican traitor filth.
So who are they going to vote for then? I cannot believe that they would imagine Trump to be more sympathetic to their cause, if anything, Israel would receive even stronger backing were he the President
Didn't he basically put a fire to the whole conflict by moving the embassy to Jerusalem?
Well, they do have third-party options, so technically it's not an either/or.
Edit: Downvoted, apparently for acknowledging that third parties exist. That's f**ked up.
They obvioualy haven't heard what Trump and the right said about Hamas then, or they wouldnt be thinking that way.
This is a best case scenario.
because of biden we got the ground invasion put off and humanitarian aid flowing into gaza...
😂 lol so they want trump.... Who wants to wipe out all Muslims.
That makes no sense whatsoever to me. And I'm not alone, that I know for sure. I mean the whole ordeal: religion, war, hate, the economic construct of "nations" - I don't get it anymore. Actually never had.
Muslims make up less than 1% of the U.S. population, which is much less than the margin of any presidential election in my lifetime, so I doubt Biden is losing too much sleep over this.
Seems kinda weak, just stating who you don't support. And to be a single issue voter is dangerous.
Won't vote for Biden? Then you deserve Trump and all that comes with him.
