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.

    With a little more organization and less reliance on spontaneity we can defeat him while he’s still in office.

    I want what you’re smoking.

    If the rapist gets into office, say goodbye to Ukraine, goodbye to Palestine (remember, his kid is eyeing up property there already) and potentially goodbye to NATO. If the US leaves that, Putin will move further into Europe, and the question of “where will WWIII kick off?” stops being an automatic “in the Middle East”.

    Giving 34 Felonies another go at the presidency would be disastrous. For a lot more then just the idiots that voted third party.

      If Trump wins he’ll probably just negotiate a surrender where they get to annex Eastern Ukraine. I really doubt Russia has any interest in expanding farther. There’s literally no point. They want a region of Ukraine that is Russian speaking, has a warm water sea port, is rich in natural gas, and is a breadbasket. Plus, a buffer zone against NATO.

      They’re not, like, cartoon villains.
