More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

    Really? What’s the Chinese pro Trump angle that I’m not seeing?

        Weak west also means smaller market for China’s export driven economy. How did the trade war benefit them?

      I can’t remember another recent candidate in the US that not only wasn’t super pro-Taiwan, but said the US should just hang them out to dry if the PRC were to invade the island. They probably like that side of him.

      Plus, an incredibly vain, greedy and self-confident idiot is not the hardest of targets to get to do what you want.

        The Taiwan angle I get. The idiot angle too. However that is complimented by further decreasing Chinese access to the US market.
