Summary
U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Trump to protest Biden’s stance on Gaza and Lebanon now feel betrayed by Trump’s pro-Israel Cabinet picks.
His appointments of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, and Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador have drawn sharp criticism, with some accusing the administration of pursuing “Zionist overdrive” and “neoconservative” priorities.
Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the “Abandon Harris” campaign and co-founded “Muslims for Trump,” and Rexhinaldo Nazarko, executive director of AMEEN, feel betrayed by broken promises of peace.
“It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” said Nazarko, adding, “it does look like our community has been played.”
So they should’ve listened to Bill Clinton instead, who went to Dearborn and essentially said Israel can do whatever they want to their faces? There were no good options to vote for.
My dude, nobody said there was a good option. The choice was a bad option, and a much worse option. Bill Clinton doesn’t matter since he has nothing to do with the government. Harris at least paid lip-service to stopping Israel; Trump said he wants Bibi to “finish the job.”
And the kicker is, one of those two choices was going to win and if you don’t vote for the bad option, the much worse option wins by default.
Unfortunately, this whole election can be summed up as: everyone not named Trump voted against their best interests.
When it comes to this issue, you can’t really say that Trump is that much worse. Either way Gaza and the West Bank were heading to oblivion. Rhetoric aside, there is no evidence that Harris would have ever stood up to Israel in any meaningful way.
And he’s also a human being with his own opinions.
Maybe they should have listened to the woman running for president instead. I’m not sure why that idea didn’t occur to you.
Fuck Bill Clinton. Who the fuck cares what he said days before the election. You should already have educated yourself enough to know exactly who you’re voting for by then (and as a Muslim, that shouldn’t take very long given the options). This is such a bullshit excuse.
But again, fuck Bill Clinton, that was such a shit show
