We speak with Dr. Ahmed Ghanim, a prominent Muslim leader and former Democratic candidate for Congress, after the Kamala Harris campaign apologized for kicking him out of a Detroit election event Monday to which he was invited. Harris’s staunch support for Israel as it continues its brutal war on Gaza has infuriated many Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan, and while Ghanim says it’s a very important issue to him, he was not there to protest. He was also not given a reason for his removal, even after the campaign called him to apologize. “Apology without accountability is not an apology,” he says, adding that the incident has left him questioning whether Democrats still believe in diversity and inclusion or if “Muslims and Arabs don’t have room anymore in this party.”
2/3 Americans support enforcing a ceasefire. 80% of Democrats support this. She wouldn’t lose nearly the amount of votes people claim she would if she were to take a stance. She would just lose out on the lobbying money from AIPAC and other pro Israel lobbyists.
Like Sundial said, she’s not doing or saying anything new. She’s basically saying “nothing will fundamentally change”, which is a problem when the current situation she doesn’t intend to change involves the US bankrolling genocide.
They don’t want her to ask nicely for a cease fire. They want the US to pull all support and funding from Israel until the genocide is stopped indefinitely.
Or since she can’t make that happen currently, at least say that’s something she’s considering. Or even just that she disagrees with Biden at all on the war.
America is the only reason Iran and other countries have not yet attacked Israel themselves. And America is what’s holding the Houthis at bay and not allowing them to be a larger threat to Israel.
Nothing I said supports genocide, simply pointing out how your arguments will not stop the genocide.
If you want to be serious about stopping the genocide, there’s really only one answer… armed intervention in Israel, arrest Netanyahu and all of Likud, and put them through a war crimes trubunal. But nobody has the political capital or willpower to pull that off.
Each of the examples provided is a generic call for a ceasefire with Harris being very careful so as not to be critical of Israel. This isn’t anything new. It’s simply a continuation of Bidens stance. And his stance is unequivocal support of Israel and then making generic calls for a ceasefire with nothing to show for it.

She’s taken a stance, multiple times. The left doesn’t want to hear it.

Which won’t happen. They didn’t need our help starting the genocide and it will continue without our help.
No they cannot continue it without America’s help.

They absolutely can, because like I said elsewhere, sniper bullets for kids are shockingly cheap.
You have no idea what’s going on but felt the need to comment in support of enabling genocide anyway eh?

And they should lose solely on that issue.
