“After extensive consultation, discussion, and deliberation, the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force has decided to encourage American Muslims to vote for any presidential candidate of their choosing who supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a US arms embargo on the Israeli government, such as candidates Dr Jill Stein, Dr Cornel West or Chase Oliver,” read the statement, obtained by Middle East Eye.
The statement was written by the American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force, an umbrella group formed this year that consists of a number of prominent Muslim organisations including the political arms of Americans for Justice in Palestine (AJP), Cair, and the US Council of Muslim Organizations.
“We cannot endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy because of her refusal to even consider imposing the arms embargo on the Israeli government required by US laws and her failure to promise any other changes whatsoever to President Biden’s failed policy of steadfast financial, diplomatic and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” the statement read.
What rightwing propaganda am I swallowing? Where is America not currently an Imperialist Dictatorship?
It’s an imperialist semi-democratic republic. Up until Jan 6th it had a long run of peaceful transfer of power. It’s not a dictatorship yet. Trump promises to make it one. I didn’t think any of that would be unknown to you?
If Trump has the legal ability to make it a dictatorship, then it always was, and the rest was kabuki theatre. If he has the illegal means of making it a dictatorship, then he has that power regardless of how the election turns out.
What are you trying to say?
