No, American voters, you don't need to choose between Harris and Trump | US elections 2024
The world, we are told, is on the eve of witnessing the most important American presidential election since the last most important American presidential election.
The hyperbole sounds familiar because the so-called issues sound familiar.
Anyone with even a cursory understanding of American history knows that presidential elections have always been presented as a binary choice between the past and the future, prosperity and decline, peace and war, and, lately, democracy and authoritarianism.
The myth surrounding these choices is that American voters have a choice; that the two dominant political parties are, with a few nuances, ideological adversaries when, for example, on urgent questions of war and peace, they remain essentially unshakable kindred spirits.
The billionaire oligarchs who run America's entire decrepit spectacle know that democracy is a sweet illusion designed to convince the gullible that Party 1 is different from Party 1a.
This is the enduring conundrum confronting Arab and Muslim American voters: Party 1 and Party 1a leaders have, on the defining issue of these terrible times, promoted and defended blatant genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. busy.
So who to choose or whether to choose at all?
Remember, there is no daylight on this cowardly, abominable score between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Both played the role of willing and enthusiastic handmaidens to their indicted darling in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Both have supported every sickening measure of state-orchestrated atrocities that have killed more than 43,000 (and counting) mostly Palestinian children and women, carpet bombing, deliberate starvation , denial of medical care, spread of disease, forced marches, and so on.
Both refuse, of course, to use the short, sharp word genocide to describe, not as a rhetorical stick, but as a matter of international law the crimes committed by an apartheid state in Gaza and the West Bank.
Both unquestionably believe that Israel has the absolute right to defend itself despite the ongoing extermination of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
And when their fellow citizens took to the streets and college campuses to demand an end to the massacres and apocalyptic destruction, Democrats and Republicans alike dismissed these enlightened Americans as sympathizers of terrorism and applauded the draconian efforts of vested interests. powerful and well established to silence protesters by force. threats and intimidation.
But as Election Day approaches, anxious Democrats and their compliant allies among the progressive cognoscenti of the mainstream media ecosystem have become increasingly nervous.
Their palpable anxiety has been widely displayed in forgettable cable television programs and in forgettable online columns meant to reassure each other that everything will be fine.
Alas, for the hopeless, a series of national and state polls, if accurate, reveal an impasse in the race for the White House. In some swing states with Arab and Muslim populations that could potentially tip the scales, Trump appears to be ahead.
The prospect that America may soon elect a fascist as commander in chief is registering with Kamala Harris and the obedient company of the Democratic Party establishment and beyond.
Oh my God, what should we do?
Awareness. Yes, awareness.
Outreach is a euphemism for pretending to listen to Arab and Muslim voters when, all along, Harris and her colleagues have ignored a grieving community that the Democratic presidential nominee suddenly thinks she can soothe with meaningless bromides.
We are working night and day to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, Harris repeats like a spring metronome.
Of course you are. The obscene facts on the ground confirm that your calls for peace are nothing but hollow and cynical pantomime.
When outreach efforts don't work, Harris and dismal progressives have resorted to, in effect, blackmail.
Arab and Muslim Americans will be responsible, they say, for electing a Muslim-banning autocrat if they vote in protest against the Democratic lead.
Beyond being a scandalous affront, blackmail is rarely a convincing strategy.
Here's my advice to Arab and Muslim American voters in key states like Michigan: Don't listen to the cowardly politicians and journalists who, alongside Party 1 and Party 1a leaders, have granted Israel the unquestioned right to kill so many Palestinians. however he wants, for as long as he wants, for whatever reason.
As for the uncommitted movement, I urge you to remain uncommitted in appearance and spirit.
Do not be dissuaded from remaining true to your conscience by the appeals of charlatans who believe that Palestinian lives are cheap and disposable.
Don't reward charlatans who believe Palestinian lives are cheap and disposable by heeding their specious advice and choosing between fallacious leader 1 and fallacious leader 1a.
Don't be swayed by the predictable line of apologists who claim that electing Trump would only make things worse for Arab and Muslim Americans.
Muslim and Arab Americans have been viewed for generations as fifth columnists who pose an existential threat to America. You can't be trusted. You remain outsiders.
As a result, you were treated with disdain. You have been imprisoned or blacklisted for speaking out. Your loyalty has been called into question. You have been systematically taken for granted.
You are expected to behave well. You are supposed to remain invisible and mute.
Don't force the charlatans. Instead, I implore you to exercise your free will by depriving Leader 1 and Leader 1a of what they value most, position and power.
Again, regarding the uncommitted movement, I urge you to remain uncommitted. Decency and history demand that you cry together: Enough.
It’s the right and fair thing to do. Opting for Leader 1 or Leader 1a is a vote, whether you are willing to admit it or not, for the co-architects of the genocide that turned Gaza into dust and memory.
You won't be responsible if Trump wins.
This will be the sole fault of millions of intolerant Americans who, in the long and sordid American tradition, regard cruelty and ignorance as guiding principles.
Even though it's hard, you survived four years of Donald Trump before. If necessary, you will survive him once again.
If this odious election campaign has proven anything, it's this: America is not a shining city on a hill. It’s fiction rotting in the gutter.
Take a long-term view. If Arab and Muslim Americans want to finally be seen and heard by 1 and 1a leaders, you must take an honorable stand now as a tangible expression of self-respect and loyalty to the horrible plight of your brothers and sisters Palestinians.
