More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

    Okay, so you’re okay with genocide in Xinjiang

    This is a lie and I will not respond until it is retracted.

      You’re right, technically you’re okay with denying the genocide in Xinjiang, the genocide itself must cause some uncomfortable dissonance.

        I’m happy to continue this discussion in another thread or via DM, as I would prefer to center Palestinians and their plight and not your interest in finding fictitious hypocrisy. Let me know if you make a thread.

          It’s not fictitious. You are a hypocrite and a disingenuous “idealist.” Realists see through you.

            You have already acknowledged that my supposed hypocrisy is fictitious, you just tried to then deflect to another criticism, i.e. denial. And I will engage with that criticism if you make another thread or go into DMs. But this thread is not about me or you, it is about the genocide of Palestinians.

              Pay attention. You’re addressing a different person. Your engagement is not needed. This is not up for debate. This is a statement of who you are.

              When your input is desired again, your string will be pulled once more.

                Pay attention. You’re addressing a different person.

                This is like 10 comments deep so yes I missed a new person jumping in to make the contribution of reiterating parent’s sentiment and then launching unsupported insults.

                Your engagement is not needed. This is not up for debate. This is a statement of who you are.

                If you would like to discuss this further, make a new thread and ping me. I’m not sure why I need to say this 3 times.

                When your input is desired again, your string will be pulled once more.

                Is this like a little skit playing out in your head or something? Either way, again, the topic here is the genocide of Palestinians. I will be ignoring further off-topic replies.

          Lol. I love the “you got me, so let’s take this discussion into privacy” line. What a joke.

            They are free to make another thread and link it here. I am just not interested in distracting from the genocide on Palestinians here.

            You can go start that thread if you’d like, feel free to ping me.
