We spent the last month touting a Dick Cheney endorsement and now the Arab-Americans hate us? How could that be?
only possibility is they are just antisemitic against mr Harris. Not possible to be anything the dems/dnc has done/said
Remember, Liberals. Remember. The Democrats can only be failed. They may say this is because we are doing genocide. But remember they are lying. They are doing this because they hate seeing an competent woman in power. They hate lgbt people. They want trump to win. They're lying about the genocide. The demcrats cannot fail. They're lying about the genocide. The democracts cannot fail.
I think this may be the first genocide in history where the perpetrators have tried to cover it up, not by insisting it didn't happen, but insisting that no one cares about the murders they are committing right now.
Oh they are definitely insisting it isn't happening, it's like they forgot the Internet exists now and we're all watching it happen in real-time
"I will not vote for you because of the genocide you're committing."
"So you're saying you hate women"
alternate (forgive the emoji used to represent the average American Arab, I couldn't find a good one that wasn't just a specific actual person)
WHY OH WHY WONT ARABS VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS? I WISH THERE WAS SOME WAY TO KNOW, SO I COULD LEAVE THIS SWAMP OF UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT
It's because of the genocide
oh if only there was someone who could tell us, some way to know. Oh if only we had an answer. Oh me oh my, I just wish someone would tell me. Oh well my infallible political instincts tell me it's probably because of the gays.
Imagine I posted the Albright 1996 clip saying the genocide of half a million children was a good thing.
Speaking of - remember how in 2004 people were saying the war in Iraq had killed a million Iraqi civilians? And in 2006? And in 2008? And 2011? And Afghanistan? And Palestine, 40k in less than month that has not been allowed to budge for nearly a year.
Before Blue MAGA there was the Third Way - and like all Secret Third Thing (TM) between Communism and Fascism it was, surprise to fuckin nobody, fascism, with Liberal characteristics.
They still downplay the iraq numbers too
They still downplay the iraq numbers too
"khezbollah controlled health ministry says.... "
"khamas controlled health ministry says... "
"iraqi controlled state health ministry says..."
goddamn i hate this shit. democracy bombs just dont actually ever kill anyone
Its hard to find documents on the net anymore, but when the sanctions regime between gulf war i and the second invasion killed god knows how many hundreds of thousands of iraqis they made some kind of claim that Saddam convinced all the demographers to change their results to exaggerate the death toll. They did not explain how saddam would do that or what the census people would comply.
I wish i'd somehow been able to retain all these documents. People who can just keep and organze and search vast amounts of data, citations, documents, have a very sharp sword at hand.
AFAIK Obama didn’t even use drones.
Exactly my point. They will maintain the lie until it becomes historical fact. Like the US "liberating" the concentration camps without mentioning how many people still died there because they refused to move the somewhere safe. How many queer people ended up back in prison because the USA agreed with their Nazi children, we should be criminalized. I stopped at 2011 for Iraq cause if the crime wasn't being counted by the end, it was never going to be.
Yeah. There's not much discussion of Jewish concentration camp prisoners being forced to remain in the camps, prevented from leaving to return home, sometimes under the same guards the nazis had employeed. There were a lot of places in the western zones where there were real fears the locals would re-start the killing, especially early after the end oft the war.
Yeah, they do this every time. They stop counting and just stick with the same number. It's the most memory hole 1985 double think ass shit. It plainly, obviously, cannot possibly be true. It can't be true. But they keep using the number from the start of whatever massacre month after month, year after year.
Yeh it’s not about Gaza. It’s also about Lebanon, and the West Bank, and Yemen, and Syria, and, and, and
Oh look the racist anglo Americans are pulling out the pretending to care about LGBTQ-card and the expected deflection to it to demonize arab Americans yet again.
David goes on in that twitter thread that the trend is because of LGBTQ and abortion rights.
When pressed, why the shift from 2020, David talks about some other candidate and ignores the changed variable: genocide in Gaza, war in Lebanon, etc.
As BeamBrain would allude to about liberal politics being about unspoken white supremacy (a black hole that liberal politics revolve around), this is a great example.
Yup. Needs a few more data points but it does look like they're feeling out a post-loss narrative of lgbt hating muslims selling the libs out.
Like they're going to do some "stabbed in the back" thing.
So you're saying they care as little about Gaza as you crackers do?
Then call their bluff and stop supporting Israel.
I’m dumb, what exactly are they insinuating?
That arab americans are doing this because being against lgbt or something which is.... Huh... Because biden and kamala stance on lgbt is pretty much the same.
The difference between elite queer hate specifically and the phenomena generally is that dems and libertarian leaning fascists like to have little pets of all their victims to tell them how kind they are.
And anti LGBT anything in the Muslim community, at least the places I've lived in Texas, is somewhat less than the broader population. I mainly chalk this up to meeting fewer rich people who are also Muslim than poor people who are also Muslim tbh.
Yep its the lgbt thing
the same arab Americans who voted for biden which had a more progressive campaign than kamala
It appears there's been a widespread case of rapid onset homophobia among Muslims in Michigan!
I think they are insinuating that a large number of Arab Americans, somewhere between 12% and 53%, are too racist to vote for a black person.
That Arab Americans are right wing and support "democracy, western values hating" Trump.
Did you know there are more Christian Arab Americans in the US than there are Muslim Arab Americans? Another fun fact, there are more Black Muslim Americans in the US than there are Arab Muslim Americans.
They're just being racist to be racist
Did you know there are more Christian Arab Americans in the US than there are Muslim Arab Americans?
This is interesting, where is this data from?
https://www.insightintodiversity.com/national-arab-american-heritage-month/
"63-77 percent are Christian, according to the Arab American Institute"
Thanks!
why would that mean they prefer biden over kamala? (maybe expecting logical coherency is too much…)
