Muslim Groups Who Pushed Against Kamala Harris Respond to Trump's Gaza Plan - Newsweek
"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do," Abandon Harris' Hudhayfah Ahmad told Newsweek.
Everyone of these dumb fucks can just go shut the fuck up. They are one of the main reasons for the Trump victory. All of them knew Trump would be worse, but they were all too fucking stupid to just go with the least bad option. Kamala was not a good candidate, but she was better than Trump in every facet.
The vote was down to preservation of democracy or end democracy and start FACISM. Murika voted for fascism.
Democracy died a long, long time ago. The options were preservation of our neoliberal corporate order, or fascism. The status quo died in 2016 and Dems are hodling hard until I'm guessing America is a completely hollow husk of its former self. But at least they played fair!
They were too insignificant to listen to. They're too insignificant to blame.
Damn straight. I really didn't like Kamal, but it was a no brainer to vote for her.

This attitude will never get people on your side

Breathe in, dude. Take the time to unclench your sphincter. I know you're very mad at the screen right now and I know your heart is hurting, I know you're very afraid because your favorite genocider lost and now you're having a taste of your own medecine, but remember, that's what you wanted for others, so quit whining now.
You made an account just to reply to this comment but you didn’t bother to vote
I know you’re very afraid because your favorite genocider lost and now you’re having a taste of your own medecine
Joe Biden to rich donors: "Nothing would fundamentally change" if he's elected
And then nothing fundamentally changed, people were still mad, and the groundswell of support he enjoyed in 2020 collapsed under his successor in 2024. We should believe this is the fault of checks notes one of the Dems' largest constituencies and not checks notes again the massive surplus of Mayo-Americans who flooded into Donald Trump's camp over egg prices.
Liberals put a ton of effort into winning conservative voters, failed to win any conservative voters, and then blamed their base for only turning out 6M more votes than what put Obama into the White House in a landslide.
Go fuck yourselves. Almost everyone tried to tell you this was going to end badly.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X: "Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas. As @POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people."
Ahmad, the spokesperson for the Abandon Harris campaign and a Palestinian activist, also said: "Despite the entire world being against them, Palestinians have proven that they will be victorious. They are returning to their homes and living among the rubble—people like that cannot be defeated. That is not a matter of opinion; it is a fact."
The level of cope is just so hard here.
I bet this face must be extra tasty for the leopards.
"Over the past 16 months, the Biden-Harris administration's full, unobstructed support for Israel's campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has failed to remove the Palestinians of Gaza from their land," Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Muslim-American led Abandon Harris campaign, said in a statement to Newsweek.
"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine."
I hope what's happening to the Palestinian people never happens to you, but if it does I hope people don't treat you the same when you beg for help for your friends and family who have spent their entire lives under occupation and multiple genocides.
Hopefully someone doesn't have to write a new poem, but it seems like humanity didn't learn the lesson last time:
I hope I'm not ever stupid enough to pick a Republican that has pushed for Palestinians to be removed from Gaza, that told Israel to do what they had to do to end the war during the election, and talked about harsh punishments for pro-Palestinian protestors into office.
One can be critical about the one side support from the Biden administration, which I absolutely was and still am, yet realize that there are worse people out there and not be so stupid as to let that evil into power.
Enjoy your protest vote, hope it works out for you guys.
These leopards are going to get diabetes with how they’ve been eating lately.
Lil Marco is such a pathetic bootlicking weenie.
God. Damn these people are so pants shittingly stupid.
They are going to be yelling about how no palestinian can be removed from their land even as they are being tossed onto a plane to El Salvador.
Stupid fuckers. All it's going to take is one u s soldier getting his boot scuffed, and they'll round them all up.
They've been scuffing the boots of IDF soldiers for years and they're still going
But, hey, I'm sure the US is totally different, look at how easy and cheap it was for us to occupy Iraq /s
Not to mention, Trump is a peacetime president. He's ending the Ukraine War and the Israel Palestine War day 1 week 1 whenever convenient committing US troops to Gaza to commandeer the land and redevlop it as a US territory, while also threatening to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and to annex Canada, and requesting Zelensky allow Putin to ravage Ukrainian land and likely install puppet govt while prosecuting any Ukrainian loyalists as the Russians see fit.
You know. Peaceful things.
Why would trump's military care about easy or cheap?
N
Protest voters did not meaningfully impact the election
This rhetoric exist to turn poor people against each other
They were complaining that Biden was doing nothing for the situation.
What did they think Trump was going to do for them?
People always start taking the status quo for granted eventually. On one hand, Trump might actually end the Palestinian genocide. Just, not in the way they want.
Yeah he'll get the genocide finished as quickly as possible.
Well, he was the "Muslim ban" president, so it couldn't have been good.
But that ship has sailed. We have a malicious, greedy oligarch in control of the USA now.
But that ship has sailed. We have
atwo malicious, greedy oligarchs in control of the USA now.
Yeah Biden was doing nothing to stop the genocide, and their solution was to help the guy promising to speed it up.
Reminder from the comedy world - punch up, not down
but they write the jokes themselves?

"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine."
What? If it's not Trump, nor Biden, nor Harris who decides, why was only Harris punished for it?
Because woman.
"Hitler doesn't decide whether or not Britain surrenders, that decision is up to the British people."
"What? Then why is everyone so mad at Hitler then?"
I wasn't trying to be flippant, I guess I saw it as "Churchill and Truman can't decide whether Poland surrenders, that's up to the polish people" and then for people to be mad only at Churchill.
It seemed like they were saying it's under no one's control outside of the Palestinians, but were still saying it was ___'s fault. Sorry that I misunderstood.
why was only Harris punished for it
Trump: "I'm doing genocide."
Harris: "I'm also doing genocide."
Palestinians: "I can't vote for either of these two."
Liberals: "Well then, I guess you deserve the genocide you get."
who ever thought trump would be better for palestinians is dumb asf. not saying harris would have done a good job since it seems no president will take their side.
Muslims were a key swing vote in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin.
More importantly, the dems might have actually won if they had taken this opportunity to show that they were capable of listening to and learning from their constituents.
Trump demonstrated that he could grow and adapt from his previous term while the dems insisted on dictating terms and asserting that everything was fine without room for criticism or growth.
Improve and grow.
Listen and adapt.
Do better.
This is proven by the data. Every poll on the subject reflected the sentiment that, had Harris split from Biden on Israel-Gaza, more would vote Harris. This was known before the election. This data was ignored. People were screaming for their rights up to the last second. Many (not all) still voted Harris. And now they are getting screamed down for still having the gall to express their anger at humans being treated as animals. It feels hopeless. The white moderate liberal has no shame or empathy.
Thank you for commenting, friend.
All of the talk of civil rights being America's priority has fallen short in the face of our economic priorities and our proclivity to agitate for war.
We have designed a society where empathy is scarce. A society overworked and without the bandwidth for most to process how their actions impact people on the other side of the globe.
Sometimes you've gotta skip out on the bullshit to live life and learn for yourself. All of these increases in productivity, and yet we have less and less time to be human and stitch together our society.
No one is screaming down a nose holding Harris voter. She was a shit candidate with shit policy.
But given the only two options, she would have been better for people all around the world. Including Gaza.
There'd be a chance of stopping things. But now trump is drawing up condo plans
If the Palestinian vote was enough to sway the election, then the amount of Jewish people who would have done the same if any presidential candidate came out in strong support of Palestine, has to be at least an order of magnitude higher.
I am not equating the two positions, I am simply talking about campaign strategy.
I don't think you understand the stranglehold that the Israel lobby has on US politics.
Faceless people complain about leopards. News at '11.
Extremely committed to being uncommitted.
Glad to see they're sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we'll do it again if they don't give in to the demands.
I'm a little more concerned about our loss of democracy and rapid societal decay.
I think some folks just wanted the worst possible outcome for Americans.
Go right ahead, not like there will be much to fight over after Trump turns Gaza into a Israeli resort town.
I'm rooting for you!
The diplomat said Egypt rejected similar proposals from the Biden administration and European countries early in the war, which was sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack into southern Israel. The earlier proposals were broached privately, while Trump announced his plan at a White House press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Your "democrats" pulled the exact same trick a year ago. If trump can turns gaza into a resort town in the first place, its because everything there is destroyed already. By your favorite genocider, no less.
Scumbag
How the fuck are the sticking to their guns? They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.
Literally the opposite of "sticking to their guns"
The situation in Palestine is going to get worse under trump, but then things were also getting worse while under Biden too. There is no winning for Palestinians because the plan is for Israel to take over the entire area. Policy over partisanship, as AIPAC puts it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlKmWa8p4UM
They make a great point. But nobody here read the article.
I read the article, they are not making any points other than a completely empty claim that only Palestinians get to decide.
What they should be doing is profusely apologizing for their catastrophic stupidity while rallying people to try and impeach the orange felon.

"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine."
So what credentials does this American person think he has about saying anything about Palestine? Does he think he's part of a race?
How completely unexpected to see the libs firmly deciding that this is all the fault of brown people.

While they appreciate Trump’s commitment to rebuilding Gaza,
Fucking lol
They're just that stupid.
Well aren't you just the hypocritical ass.
1: These aren't people that refused to vote for a lesser evil. They're Trump voters. Willing greater evil supporters.
2: There's a difference between blaming them for the loss over, you know, Democratic mismanagement and the conservative base being fascists in general.
3: Interesting that that wasn't immediately obvious to you. All Muslims that don't Vote Blue No Matter Who are equal in your eyes? You can hardly tell them apart!
And suddenly every democrats have strong feelings about palestine lmao
Democrats only care about non-whites if they aren't the president. Otherwise it's time to lock them in cages and violate federal laws to kill them. 💅
These hypocrits have offered to displace palestinians early in the war lmao

To everyone calling them stupid. What exactly should they have done in this situation? What is the better solution when your only options are death or a faster death?
Im genuinely asking
your only options are death or a faster death?
If you need to hold your nose to make the choice to prevent a worse alternative, then you hold your nose and make the choice that prevents a worse alternative.
No one said it's an easy choice. But it's a simple choice. Don't confuse Easy with Simple because it's a hard, hard binary choice.
And this was explained, so, so so, so-so, so many times.
You sound like a bigot talking about how there's only two kind of PPs or how the invisible hand works .
We know your kindergarten level of understanding things. You don't have to repeat it like an idiot.
My takeaway from this whole thing is that people are fucking spoiled rotten. As you said, twas a simple choice.
Vote blue and send huge amounts of letters and phone calls to your Congress people telling them to stop supporting this. Run new candidates under the Democratic party that push them further left.
Sounds impossible? Yes. People were force fed propaganda and gave up this election, because its a hard choice. There is no easy route. Its either revolution or try to change a party to something better. There is no option 3.
People told the centrists, I told my friends for fucks sake. I know someone who stayed home saying their vote didn't matter and both sides are evil. I told them that is a vote for Trump.
They were right. Their vote didn't matter because trump won by a landslide in our state. But what if they, and thousands of their compatriots, weren't force fed propaganda on Facebook and TV?
The republicans won because of coordinated attacks that presented centrists with multiple trolley problems. I held out hope until the end, but I should have known what was going to happen when some reasonably intelligent people fell for it.
So RIP to potentially competitive down ballot races that their liberal vote could have helped. Judges, city council, prosecutors, etc
Slower death with the ability to continue advocacy and refugee work.
Slower death means more people escape while peace talks occur. More people will die now, at an increased rate.
Rather than Israel getting some, insufficient but existing friction, they now have completely free reign
they could have shut up and never expressed emotion or dissent at the deplorable level of dignity stripping they were subject to.
that’s the genuine answer. that’s what white liberals would have preferred.
and now they are getting shouted down by those liberals for still advocating for their own rights. many still even voted harris. it’s truly heartbreaking. america is so racist even the rise of fascism is blamed on brown people.
