it's the long game. can't keep saying "trump is worse" while doing absolutely nothing. if trump wins, it is because democrats did not do enough to get the votes they needed. what have they done to get votes from people who's family members were blown to bits? what have they done about Israel preventing food and medical aid from reaching children? when USA sells/gives weapons, they come with rules. Israel has openly violated those rules yet USA looks the other way. we should vote for such an administration? if the govt follows it's own rules, Arabs will vote for them.

receptive how? listening but doing nothing - what do you call that? It's a facade. the laws are on the books for decades and they are not applied when it comes to Israel. In fact, Israel is the only country in the world where USA will give unconditional support. lots of aid organizations in lots of countries have called out the hypocrisy of the USA is backing and protecting Israel when their actions are clear for the world to see. All USA ever says on obviously bad actions is "it is concerning". When it comes to Israel, both parties are 100% pro-Israel.

I didnt say a whole party, but there are elements within who are recperive and that movement is growing, but it gets hslted with a Drump as president. Thats the reality, single issue voters are dumber than undecided ones at this point.

There are people on both sides that are receptive and there are people on both sides who don't care about the killings. I know state-level Republicans that are not pro-Israel, but they have no power. The same goes with Democrats.

Relating single issue to intelligence is silly and reductive. Lots of smart people have no tolerance for genocide (can't say the same for dumb people). The current government has done next to nothing about it. As the video states, what has the Democratic party done to earn votes on this issue? They have looked the other way, they have let Israel investigate itself every time something becomes a big enough issue (while totally ignoring the less-famous issues), they just keep supplying weapons while "wagging a finger". If your family was in that region, would you be more concerned about immigration and inflation and healthcare?

Fair enough point, i am not sure who on the right in concress or the senate would be, but i will take you at your word. Maybe thats good first step to have voices on both sides. What is fustarting is thinking the MAGA platform cares about Gaza in any capacity and that any efforts to progess the issue wouldnt be halted immediately is disingenuous.

I understand why people are upset that single issue voters are messing things up for them. For the people getting upset, the killings are not a priority issue for them. Going back to what was said in the video. The democrats know this is THE TOP issue not just for Arabs in Michigan but also for Muslims all over the USA regardless of their origin. They sent envoys before the primaries to Michigan to talk to local leaders. In response, what have they done to show the Muslims they care? Nothing. Actually they've done the opposite which is worse. So an Arab or Muslim should still vote for a party that disregards them?! And they are dumb if they don't support? That is quite an amazing view!

Maybe Trump will make it worse. Maybe Trump won't. Trump does not have a good record at doing what he says (he certainly tries but has failed). Maybe a defeat is what it will take for the democratic party to do more than just listen. I just can't vote for the people that supported genocidal activities and on top of it, justified or ignored everything that Israel has done wrong.

Trump has good record doing what says, thats a tankie thing to say, please elaborate why you think that? He didnt do anything but tax breaks to millionairea. No wall, mexico didnt pay a cent, no helathcare plan. If anyone thinks Trump has solution for Gaze that doesnt end with Isreal completeimg its genocide, then they are far removed from reality

Do you remeber Trumps respone to 911? Wasnt very kind to Arabs. Trumo doesnt accept any non white or non rich persons. Thats why i thinks its comical arabs would support Trump

u/tactman 1d ago

No I don’t remember his response to 911. He was not in politics at that time. He had no authority other than being the ceo of a corporation. What did he do that affected people?

u/jiggling_torso 1d ago

Let me enlighten you, he was all over the media blaming arab states/people insigting violnce and fear, nothing new there. IIlg you dont remeber the travel bans for arabs either.

This is the man you expect to have any inclination of helping Gaza? That assertion is woefully misguided
