    Israel’s escalation and invasion of Lebanon is most likely to make the Democrats more unpopular. It’s not a coincidence that these escalations happened so close to the election. Israel has been wanting to attack Lebanon since at least the spring, and the US had to talk them down. These events just make the Democrats more unpopular and make a Trump presidency more likely. Which would be Israel’s wet dream given how pro-zionist he is.

    Bernie Sanders forcing through this funding bill might end up single handedly saving this election… but it would have been so fucking easy for Harris to tell AIPAC to fuck off.

      And lose millions of votes, ultimately handing the presidency to Trump? Smart move.

        Isreali Americans aren’t a fully democratic voting block and the attrition would likely be pretty low - by contrast youth turnout is what Democrats really need to drive to secure their victory.

          Not all Israelis are zionists. Not all zionists are israelis. You are still refusing to understand the full scope of things.

          When Reagan broke the unions, single-handedly neutering the largest base of support for Democrats at the time. Groups like The aipac moved into fill that void. If Democrats could easily abandon aipac money by now they would have. As much as it would be morally correct to do it. It would be a bit of a political death sentence as long as money is considered speech.

            I’m well aware that not all Isrealis are zionists - in fact, based on my very biased and empirical sample, the majority of American Jews aren’t zionists and support a two state or one state secular solution. I’ve met one due who is legitimately “get them off our land and let us create an exclusively Jewish state”… You’re vastly overestimating how much money AIPAC brings to the table, there are much more significant donors out there.

    Your realistic choices are Harris or Trump.

    I’m pretty sure that you’re not going to be happier with Trump in office if your objection is US support for Israel, and especially US-Iran conflict, seeing both past policy and that Iran got caught in the act of trying to off Trump several months back.

    But, your vote.

        True, there’s no nuance to be seen here. Move along everyone.

        One of them is significantly more gleeful about Israel winning than the other, though. World politics is nasty stuff.

        It is actually a very reliable source, with a focus on the Middle East.

        It’s a UK paper, founded by David Hearst (former Guardian writer and correspondent).

    I don’t know that a reporter in Ontario is the best person to write about this and I find it hard to believe that this outlet couldn’t find a single Arab-American writer to cover this.

    Which sure makes this article suspicious.

      The headline alone is complete trash. This election is not about arab-americans losing “enthusiasm”. It’s about both candidates supporting genocide.
