If America was being bombed day and night because of something horrific our government did, and many innocent Americans and American children were being killed and traumatically injured, and we begged for mercy, but the rest of the world said,

“Americans voted for their government so they deserve it, their government is bad so all Americans are bad, therefore this is what they get and must be done”

And the world was silent to our suffering.

And no one came to our aid.

And our cities and homes were bombed and turned to rubble.

And our infrastructure was destroyed, no farms, no grocery stores, no more organized society.

And no one helped our injured and hungry children.

How would you feel?

What would you think?

What would you do?

This is what is happening to Gaza where in spite of what we have all been told, many innocent people and children are being killed and they are not Hamas.

Does Hamas deserve it? Yes.

Do innocent people and children deserve it? No.

The innocent people in Gaza did not kill and kidnap the innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th.

Just as we spoke out and had compassion for the victims and families of Oct7, how can Americans not speak out and have compassion for the masses of innocent people and children in Gaza?

Is one type of innocent life worthy and another type of innocent life worth nothing?

For me, I think God sees all innocent lives the same and he loves them all. As a matter of fact, He sent his own son for all people, that’s how much He loves us.

America funds Israel $3.8 billion annually for military aid.

Actually correction.

U.S. taxpayers fund Israel $3.8 billion annually for military aid.

That means every U.S. tax payer is contributing to Israel’s military actions.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with.

And I will not be silent about it.

Btw for those asking, I prayed at @MasjidDS. Mufti Azeemuddin had given khutbah at another masjid where he met him and invited him to pray. I’m not going to say which masjid he prays at regularly because I’m not entirely sure. But broader point, find out who and if someone from Gaza in your communities, and offer support.

[Muhammad Jalal @jalalayn]

Dear Mehdi,
Assalam alaikum warahmatullah brother,
I watched your video on Muslims and the US elections where you mention my interview with Sami Hamdi on @thinking_muslim and thought it would be appropriate to respond in some detail.

Dear brother, let me start by saying my disagreement with your problematic logic does not take away from the good you have done on Gaza, and neither does it (contrary to your assertions) make me believe you to be a lesser Muslim for holding these views. Indeed, the central argument of my guest, Sami Hamdi, in our Thinking Muslim interview was based on a series of well-crafted political points, and not to 'badger people based on faith'. Contrary to what you said, at no point in our discussion did Sami say, "It is your obligation as a Muslim to vote against Harris". He was not making a faith-based argument but rather a political one.

Any fair-minded person who watched the conversation could only conclude that he forwards a compelling story for why voting for Harris is not only politically naïve, it undermines any political leverage Muslims may feel they have. That's why the most substantial positive comments have come from conscientious non-Muslims moved by his logic. One only needs to read the YouTube comments to see evidence of this.

But it seems to me that the comments surrounding weaponising religion and the like were not aimed at addressing the arguments but rather to prepare your liberal-minded base that your anti-Harris detractors should be dismissed because they are religiously motivated. You are not averse to using political emotion to make an argument, but it seems when Sami does this, he is being a zealot, but when you do it, you are 'winning the argument'. I am disappointed in why you believe this is a faithful way to engage in a political discussion.

Let's then really get to your central argument that not voting for Harris means Muslims would have helped Trump win. And Trump will be worse than Harris. In a two-party system, only one of the two candidates can win. But, with your political logic, there is actually nothing the Democrats can do that will give you a reason not to vote for Harris. In my piece here, https://t.co/9rrUIdnBDG I detail the charge sheet against the Biden-Harris Administration. You suggest that because Trump is worse, we have to hold our noses and vote for the Democrats, who you admit support genocide. It's akin to calling upon a victim of domestic abuse to stay with her violent partner because the streets are a more dangerous place.

I agree with you that when it comes to foreign policy, and in particular Palestine, Trump is as bad as Biden and the Democrats. Under his watch, not only did he support MBS in Yemen, but also committed horrific crimes in cities like Mosul under the guise of liberation. But you forget to mention that Saudi Arabia’s deranged Yemen campaign started under Obama's watch, and he showed as much disdain for Muslim lives as Trump. Obama helped subvert the Arab Spring in countries like Egypt and ensured the Arab world remained under 'strong men' who supported Western interests. He widened the death and destruction of Afghanistan, with his ‘troop surge’, failing to accept the failure of US militarism. He also widened drone warfare, including targeting US citizens, and at the time, analysts warned this would hand a killing machine to a future president.

It's no surprise then that Trump went on a drone killing spree; he had the legal and technological resources at his disposal thanks to his 'liberal' predecessor. The fundamental point here is that both the Democrats and the Republicans have similar propensities to hypocrisy. Playing brutal American foreign policy top trumps is a fool's errand.

This lesser of the two evils argument is overly simplistic. When it comes to US foreign policy, elections are a game of Russian roulette. Both parties have the propensity to wage war, commit genocide, dehumanise, feed the Israeli war machine and worse. You claim Trump will go to war with Iran as if that's a result of some peculiar Republican misadventure. The truth is, the current administration is colluding with the Israelis to find suitable Iranian targets, with many analysts suggesting they are waiting until after November 5th so such an escalation will not ruin their election campaign.

There are definitely strained relations between the Biden team and Netanyahu. These tensions come not from strategic differences but from immediate tactical considerations. Of course, some in the current Israeli regime are rooting for Trump, but that’s not because the Democrats have not been wilful accomplices. Instead, their need to appease conscientious voters means they have often used language the Israelis find detestable. This genocidal state can only hear varnished praise.

Whatever the case, it's impossible to weigh up their evil. Each administration outdoes one another. I suspect in 2020, people on your side of the argument would have been claiming at least Biden wouldn't commit genocide and is in favour of a two-state solution. It is beyond credulity to claim such a thing today after so many murders in Gaza.

I would suggest, my brother, that in reality, despite your protestations, you are endorsing Harris, and no amount of killing and murder between now and the election will change this endorsement, because ‘Trump is worse’. If tomorrow, Harris allowed the Israelis to bomb Madinah, the claim would be that Trump would have bombed Makkah, so we should still vote for Harris. There comes a time when we say, enough is enough of this two-party nightmare.

No one is being politically naïve here. We don't believe Muslim voters can pick winners. But there is a crack in the system that allows American Muslims to help consolidate a loss. Harris must lose. We must punish her administration for genocide. I agree with you; when it comes to foreign policy, this punishment at the hands of pro-Gaza voters may not achieve the leverage some claim within the Democratic Party. But punishing genocide is a good in itself. It does not need to lead to a systemic change for it to be the most appropriate action.

I do, however, believe that if enough anti-genocide voters can bank their votes in, say, the Green Party, then that helps build a compelling media story that Gaza is what led to Harris's loss. You may retort, zionists have a disproportionate sway over the media, and they will ignore you. I would respond that's why we rely on alternative media, like Zeteo to be on the right side of history. If we restrict ourselves to the artificial limits set by this American empire, then we would never be able to tell our story. You understand this more than many.

Dear brother, we have it within our ability to punish the proponents of genocide of this administration. And we have it in our ability to coin an alternative story for the fallen in Gaza. But to do what Muslims have always done, time and time again, and vote for a party that consistently disappoints is no more than doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

When we spoke last week, I extended an invite to The Thinking Muslim the next time you are in London. That invite still remains, and despite our disagreements, I will always support the good that you do.

[Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI]

I strongly condemn the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and the bombing of Beirut by the government of the war criminal, Netanyahu.

Israel's war crimes and blatant violations of international laws and conventions reflect the complete breakdown of any international rule-based order that may have existed.

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT ARREST WARRANT FOR NETANYAHU

Multiple reports that the International Criminal Court is set to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu, and that Biden is doing everything he can to stop it. How much more money, diplomatic cover, and resources will America pour into a genocide before the people wake up and say enough. And when will the United States government be put to the stand for its crimes against humanity and primary role in this genocide? If justice isn’t served in this life, it shall certainly be so in the next. But has there ever been a point in modern history where the hypocrisy of our government and foreign policy has been so blatant?

[ceolawyer @ceolawyer]

IDF soldiers raped a 5 month old pregnant Palestinian woman in front of her family.

They forced the men and children to keep their eyes open and watch.

Otherwise they would be shot.

This is what Zionism represents - the sickest form of evil and terrorism you can imagine.

It’s not enough that they killed over 30,000 innocent civilians, mostly children, in 6 months.

They want to humiliate and torture the most vulnerable people in society.

Every accusation from Zionists is an admission.

India Sends Killer Drones to Israel to Aid in its Genocide

“The drone deal underlines India's growing complicity in Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and highlights the burgeoning economic and military ties between the two countries.”

An Egyptian man realizes these aid trucks are heading to Gaza, so he throws his produce onto them.

Never confuse the abandonment of some Muslim rulers with the Ummah as a whole. Our hearts beat with Gaza.

@StopAntisemites @DeanMcGeeEye It is quite disappointing to see this org go after a reputable physician. He is a community building, interfaith volunteer who is highly respected by @JVPChicago and many of his jewish colleagues in the field of ophthalmology. Hope he filed a case of #Defamation

Is @benshapiro a psychopath?

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

War crimes. Terrorism.

Israeli forces disguised as Palestinians stormed Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin and killed 3 Palestinians in their hospital beds, execution style. But of course this is just business as usual for the “only democracy” in the Middle East.

Amusing that this “article” complains that a fact checking PDF (that he refers to as “letter”) was posted “anonymously” but then @QasimRashid proceeded to “anonymously” write this “article” on Medium as “Muslim friends of Qasim”. Bravo! https://t.co/X5X3k7moUv
