Palestinian Americans have learned that the Democratic Party will bomb your homeland, kill your family, use your own money to do it, and still expect your vote.

The genocide in Gaza is happening with the support and assistance of Democratic President Joe Biden. It is being carried out using US-made bombs whose transfer to Israel Biden refuses to end. It is, in so many ways, a crime against humanity made in the USA.
I voted for Joe Biden in 2020. Last October, he authorized the weapons transfers necessary to bomb my family members, some of the last Palestinian Christians in Gaza, and then cast doubt on the death toll that same week.
But Palestinian Americans like me are discovering something this year: the Democratic Party will bomb your homeland, kill your family, use your own money to do it, and still expect your vote. More than that, Democrats will curse you and shame you if you push back.
Despite what many people might say, the genocide is not a “single issue” or an isolated phenomenon. It is a devastating sequence of events that fundamentally changes how you view the world. If Democrats lose the upcoming presidential election, it will not be the fault of Palestinians and Palestinian Americans who have begged and pleaded with our elected officials for months to stop killing our families.
