It’s not just about being Arab. It’s about what she stands for
Jill Stein also did well in Dearborn. She got 18% of the vote. (Jill Stein is not Arab.)
America’s support for genocide isn’t an accident. It isn’t an anolomy. It’s what America always does. It’s what the system was built on.
Look at the size of America’s military. Look at the size of America’s wealth. Look at who benefits.
If you defend capitalism, you defend that.

But OP was asking about travelling the world. Sign language wouldn’t help with that.
Sign language isn’t one language. There’s American Sign Language, British Sign Language, Australian Sign Language, Nigerian Sign Language, etc.
American Sign Language and British Sign Language are completely unintelligible to each other.
And now you’re accusing independents of being Nazis. Like that’s gonna help.
I mean, I understand. You’re just following the example of your party leaders, like when Hillary accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian agent. Like most people, you look to your political leaders to understand the political landscape, and your party really hasn’t given you any other example.
One of the functions of political parties is to spread political literacy among the population, and the Democrats and the Republicans both feed you nonsense because they’re never going to tell you “the truth is we serve the corporate class, lol”.
It’s not your fault that they’re failing you. But they are failing you. And they’re failing America.
Maybe this attitude is why Democrats lost.
Maybe the Democrats should have reached out to independent voters who were concerned about Gaza instead of accusing them all of being Russian agents.
Why is this downvoted? Shouldn’t Democrats love this? This is a win-win for the Democrats and Greens.
John Oliver just described on his latest show how Georgia state rep Ruwa Romman (a Palestinian-American woman in a swing state) arranged a vote swap with someone in a non-swing state, where Romman would vote for Harris in exchange for a vote against Harris. And John Oliver is as Democrat as they come.
And I think one vote for Harris in a swing state in exchange for two votes against Harris elsewhere is more than generous to the Democrats right now considering the circumstances.
“I mean, Elon Musk joked to me, and he has, I think, many times, that he’s going to go to prison if Trump loses,” Carlson said.
LOL. Billionaires don’t go to prison in America.
They were young people who were gathered for a music concert.
Israel has compulsory military service for young people, so many of them were enlisted in the military. That doesn’t change the fact that they were young.
the powers that be (UK and US primarily) already have control of the area (still Mandatory Palestine), and a desire to maintain control of the area, they decide to give most of that land to the Jews and call it Israel.
Israel wasn’t created by the UK or the US (or the UN). Israelis declared the state of Israel themselves after seizing territory in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
The UN did have a plan to create an Israel in 1947, but that didn’t happen, because neither the Jews, the Arabs, nor the UK were on board.
but Israel doesn’t get to say they want to control the entire region?
What do you mean Israel doesn’t “get” to say that?
Israel does say that, and Israel does control the entire region, and almost every Western power allows them to.
I think a Two-State Solution would be a good idea (and I have opinions on exactly where the border should go), but it will have to be imposed on Israel by the international community.
Israel has never been sincere about a Two-State solution, and their “offers” to Palestine have been inadequate and unworkable, and the Palestinians have been right to reject them because there’s no point in accepting a deal that won’t lead to peace. Only a fair and workable deal can lead to peace.
Israel has demonstrated that they are an illegitimate state, because legitimate states do not bomb the stateless people living within their borders. At this point we should be treating Israel like Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany. The Israeli military should be placed under foreign control, and the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and Gaza returned to the Palestinians.
So far, the only thing stopping this from happening has been the United States’ support for Israel.
Israel needs to realize that the United States is rapidly declining in power, and if Israel doesn’t voluntarily cede the Palestinian territories, Israel might not exist at all in the near future.
Just to be clear, Hamas does not want to eradicate the Jews. That is a myth propagated by Israel.
Hamas wants to eliminate Israel, by which they mean they want Israel replaced by an Arab-majority state in which both Jews and Arabs live. (Hamas want the return of 4 million Palestinian refugees to Israel/Palestine, which would make it an Arab-majority state.)
Furthermore, they have indicated they are open to negotiating a Two-State solution.
I don’t think it makes any sense to portray Hamas as unreasonable for wanting Arabs to control the whole land (from the river to the sea) when Israel want the same thing for Jews.
I wasn’t implying that.
Israel struck first in the Six Days War.
Over a shipping route.
If Hamas were Sunni muslims instead of Shia
Hamas are Sunni.
Hezbollah are Shia.
There’s something else I want to mention.
In 1947, the UN attempted to sort out Britain’s mess by creating a “partition plan” in which the land would be split between a state of Israel and a state of Palestine.
Though adopted as a UN resolution, it was never implemented, and the aforementioned civil war broke out instead.
I just mention this because I find a lot of people are under the misimpression that Israel was created by the UN in 1947 as some kind of compensation for the Holocaust, and that’s not what happened.
Another correction: The attack that killed 1200 Israelis, 33% of which were legitimate military targets and 66% of which were civilians.
I never said they were civilians.
In 1948, just after WWII, the UK decided to carve a chunk out of Palestine and create a new state there, called Israel - as a Jewish homeland that would take all the refugees that the rest of Europe didn’t want to deal with
That’s not what happened.
Firstly, the Balfour Declaration was in 1917, during World War I. By 1948, the Jews were already living there, and fighting for the land.
Secondly, Britain never partitioned the land, and never announced any intention to partition the land. (Things might have been very different if they had.) I think you’re getting confused with the UN’s partition plan, which was never implemented.
