I get that they are not happy with Biden’s actions, but did they really think Trump was going to bend to these demands?

Better to stick with Biden and continue putting pressure on him to secure a ceasefire.

Leads to the same kind of unssatisfaction.

Sure, Trump is not the answer but Biden at the moment isn't either. Lots of you don't care more about Gaza children more than the Trump campaign does. You just act as you're entitled to owning these voters.

Meanwhile Biden continues to show what side he's on by talking about sanctioning ICC because of the decision to issue a warrant for Netanyahu.

You can all claim what you want but you're not on the side of Arab Americans, don't represent them and are in no position to claim one candidate is entitled to these voters.

They’re destroying the country and expect a thank you.  Nailin is based.

He's a member of the mises caucus and a big fan of an austrian school "economist" who hated womans suffrage, wanted complete segregation of white and black people, and believed that prosecuting parents for neglect when they let their children starve violates their rights. Why would anyone like this guy?

straw man much?

This sort of reminds me of the dilemma the gays and lesbians faced in the 70s — 00s when they  became a cohesive voting block.

Neither Republicans or Democrats were very amendable to the changes they wanted, which seemed very extreme at the time. I mean, as recently as 2008, Obama didn’t even support same sex marriage. But they stuck with Dems because they knew they had the best chance to become a real political force within that party. And look at us now!

Arab Americans need to do the same with Dems, since the vast majority of voters and elected officials sympathetic to their cause are aligned with the Democratic Party. In time, their influence in the Democratic Party could necessitate real change in US policy toward Israel, where they’re still allies but we can force major changes that would help the Palestinian people.

If they throw all that away by supporting Trump, who could give two s**ts about their concerns, while also severing ties with the Democratic Party, then their movement will be greatly set back.

Israel has the capacity to kill every living thing in Gaza a very short time frame, the fact that they haven't done that proves that that's not what their intentions are.

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part,a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

That's pretty absurdly broad, literally every war ever could be considered a genocide committed by both sides if that's the standard which makes it pretty meaningless. Hamas's actions would constitute genocide as well based on those standards so why am I not hearing anything about Hamas's genocide in Israel?

Like, in WWII we certainly "killed members of the group" (German and Japanese soldiers and also civilians) and deliberately brought about conditions to destroy them in part (destroying their army and infrastructure). So I guess Truman, Eisenhower and the entire Allied leadership should have been tried for crimes against humanity right along with the Nazis and executed after the war since you apparently can't make a distinction between killing individual members of a group for specific reasons and trying to wipe the entire group out.

These kind of broad moral standards are in fact not the result of a kind bleeding heart but from people who want to make excuses for evil by equating the actions of people defending themselves with those of the aggressor.

Look man I don’t know what your deal is but I’m not going to defend tens of thousands of Palestinians dying and the displacement of two million more. Also if you haven’t noticed  much of international law comes from after WWII so just stop invoking that era as a “gotcha”, it’s tedious and beside the point.

“What about the Allies in WWII” dude children in Gaza are starving, f—k off

Are you you literally suggesting that killing any one single person constitutes a genocide? Because that's what a plain reading of that would indicate. It's a meaningless platitude as you would expect from the ICC.

Well the Allies also had blockades of Germany and Japan during WWII resulting in hundreds of thousands of civilians starving to death and I've never heard anyone object to that or suggest it was unwarranted given the circumstances, which are the same circumstances Israel is in now, an adversary who attacked them first and wants to completely destroy their country. The only people who object to the blockade of the south in the Civil War are neo Confederate douchebags, kind of like pro Hamas douchebags are doing with this.

I've never heard anyone suggest what they think Israel should be doing differently here besides sitting on their hands and letting Hamas kill and rape the entire population with impunity. Which if it happened wouldn't generate 1% of the outrage from the same people complaining about this, gee I wonder why?

You didn't read the text close enough.

Solely killing people isn't genocide.

There has to be an "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".

Normally, "intention" is very hard to prove, but Israel officials are brazen enough to speak out loud about their crimes.

Nikki is a Christian.  No real Christian is going to vote for Biden this November.

The hyperventilating over this very obvious development says a lot about the state of the race.

Does any other voting group base their vote solely on US policy toward their nation of origin? I just never hear about Mexican-American voters being passionate about US relations with Mexico or Indians caring about how Biden is treating Modi and BJP. It just seems this group hasn't assimilated as others immigrants have.

Cubans?

Armenians, Venezuelans, Colombians, Israelis, Arabs, Vietnamese, Ukrainians now.

I guess we'll have to see how Haley supporters take this.

On the one hand, they aren't cultish like Trump's voters are.

On the other, they are probably the types who look for any excuse to not vote for Biden/vote for Trump.

Haley Voters are still mostly Republicans AND whether you or me like that or not these Voters still would want to have some check on the Biden Agenda in case he gets re-elected. I could see that these Voters leave the Presidential Ballot Blank while voting for the Republican Senate Candidate where they have the chance to do so.
