1 in 200 Gazans were killed, for people who has family in that area of the world, they were someone’s old neighbour, friend or relative.
I get that not voting for Biden effectively helps the Republicans, but those groups won’t agree to be political pawns, not at least without actions supporting an immediate ceasefire first.
It’s already 1+ in 100.
Trump. You are supporting Trump. Trump will ban Muslims again and not just the foreign ones.
Biden is not the one murdering Palestinians.
Bebe is.
Bebe and Trump are buddies. Bebe spoke directly to Congress to humiliate Obama to help Trump get elected. He chose sides and interfered in the US election. Because Bebe is a racist genocidal murderer.
Sometimes Presidents have to do difficult diplomacy. And it sucks.
But Trump is coming for all Muslims. Seriously. We cannot have Trump again.
An American election is a zero sum game. You are forced to pick the least crappy option.
Muslims and Republicans have more in common than they like to admit. So they won’t find 4 years of Trump a big problem. Especially the ones that live in the big Muslim communities that aren’t facing much discrimination.
They agree on a lot of things - but the color of their skin and the god they respectively worship is a real big divide.
For anyone on the outside who doesn’t care which god or skin color, they look practically identical.
That’s not true. Muslims agree with Republicans on LGBT rights and similar things, but that’s about it. There’s a reason Michigan Arabs tend to vote Democrat and speaking as a Muslim that’s probably because Republican nonsense like “being poor is personal responsibility and nobody has any responsibility to help you” doesn’t resonate with Muslims.
Abortion, abstinence, women’s subservience. American Arabs vote democrat because the republicans would be happy if they were dead.
But if you asked a practicing Muslim and a republican for their views on a wide range of issues except which god you worship, you’ll find there are many more similarities than you are suggesting.
Famous for their distributing the wealth to people who need it, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are positively wonderful places for the working class 🙄

I mean those countries aren’t the shining examples of Islam at work so yeah. Gulf countries are like famous for this.
Which countries are shining examples of Islam at work? I’m having a hard time coming up with any that don’t have staggering wealth inequality.
Most are dictatorships so the attitude of the government doesn’t reflect much except how greedy the elites are, but charity is big in Muslim countries. The whole “pull yourself up by your bootstraps and if you rely on others you’re a leech” attitude doesn’t really resonate with Muslims.
That said, if I had to raise an example I’d probably pick Tunisia. Not that they don’t have wealth inequality or poverty, but they’re doing decently well for themselves and have a government that’s actually trying to fix these things.
Also almost all of the non-Gulf Arab world has significant social welfare to my knowledge.
