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.
“They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
Who wants to revoke the citizenship from Americans:
Let me just say to those who say voting for a third party candidate is a waste of a vote, it is not. Either way, the person who wins will see how many votes that candidate got, and will know that that is the way many people FEEL about a specific issue. Then they will have to cater to that view in someway.
These are OBVIOUS Blue Maga trying to get Trump Elected! I mean, what's Harris supposed to do, NOT Endorse a Country bombing Schools and Orphanages? That's RIDICULOUS!
Palestinians and those who care about them and middle easterners and islmamic folk of any kind need to realize that they need trump in office. He has pogroms ready and waiting tailor made for you and anyone alive who has experienced one will tell you they are great.
Will Gaza even be habitable in 50 yrs after Trump is elected when enough people vote third party?
My assumption is this is a negotiating tactic with the Harris campaign as no serious person believes a third party candidate will win, and if they actually believe Trump would be better for their cause they might as well endorse him.
Unfortunately Harris is in a tough spot. If she doesn't remain vaguely aligned with the current admins policy on Gaza, she's going to undermine whatever efforts are currently underway towards a cease-fire.
