Muslim groups urge voters to shun Kamala Harris, back pro-Palestine candidates

While only a minor voting bloc, Muslims say endorsements show their anger over bipartisan support for Israel could sway the election

“After extensive consultation, discussion, and deliberation, the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force has decided to encourage American Muslims to vote for any presidential candidate of their choosing who supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a US arms embargo on the Israeli government, such as candidates Dr Jill Stein, Dr Cornel West or Chase Oliver,” read the statement, obtained by Middle East Eye.

The statement was written by the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force, an umbrella group formed this year that consists of a number of prominent Muslim organisations including the political arms of Americans for Justice in Palestine (AJP), Cair, and the US Council of Muslim Organizations.

“We cannot endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy because of her refusal to even consider imposing the arms embargo on the Israeli government required by US laws and her failure to promise any other changes whatsoever to President Biden’s failed policy of steadfast financial, diplomatic and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” the statement read.

    Try getting GarbageShootAlt2 to criticise the republican party. You’ll find the conversation quickly turns to how awful the democratic party is. It’ll tale a long time, but it will ALWAYS come back to that.

    That wasn’t “now let me criticize Trump. Whoops! Kamala-posting!” That was me answering why communists are so keen to criticize democrats, while also explaining that they do criticize Republicans. That entails covering both subjects, so you’re just attacking me for answering a question as though it was a completely different prompt.

    dismissive

    God forbid I be dismissive to someone going on rants about how his enemies are secret agents. You literally just don’t understand how people communicate and turned it into a conspiracy theory.

    You think republicans aren’t all over your instance lying to convince folks like you to not vote democratic? That’s naive. That’s really naive.

    You think Republicans bother with a few thousand nobodies on a niche platform? That’s self-important. That’s really self-important.

    You probably think putin is a communist!

    You’re a fucking idiot with no ability to understand other people’s interiorities. No communist believes this.

    Only some useful idiot neoliberals do, and even among them it is rare.

    Edit: I disagree with the removal, but I won’t lose sleep over it. You were, it must be stressed, accusing someone of being a secret Republic operator with your “evidence” being them saying “cope” to you once.
