The poll is the latest warning sign to Democrats that the war in Gaza is costing support among a key voting bloc.

    Harris isn’t going to alienate 300,000 Jewish voters in PA for 20,000 Arab voters in MI.

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/22/politics/jewish-voters-pennsylvania-election/index.html

    “The American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University estimates there are about 300,000 Jewish voters in the Keystone State. When you consider that Joe Biden won Pennsylvania by less than 82,000 votes in 2020, and Trump by about 44,000 votes in 2016, the margins matter.”

        A lot of Arab-Americans are Christians, who have a problematic relationship with Arab identity.

        They may be people who are opposed to the idea of a far-right, pan-islamist caliphate swallowing up the Middle East.

      The vast majority of US Jews want the conflict to end, something that can be done by a US president with a phonecall.

      Harris declaring that she’ll end the war would be a boost across this demographic, and I’d assume many others.

        Could be done with a phone call, if Bibi gave two shits about what we think, and he doesn’t. He really, really doesn’t.

            They don’t need our weapons to shoot little kids in the head. Bullets are cheap.

            https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war

            It doesn’t matter if we cut off the supply or not, they don’t need our weapons.

              Okay now turn on your brain and use it on this nonsense article…

              How can a doctor know the identity and motive of the shooter by looking at a wound?

              Were these magic doctors?

                Caliber and location of the wound. Ballistics is a science.

                Plus, it’s not like anyone else is shooting Palestinian children.

                  Hamas rules Gaza by assassination and fear. They kill other Palestinians with guns and other things all the time. They shoot parents in front of their kids and vice verse to stay in power. The Iranian immamate and Qatari royals don’t pay people to post about it online all day, though, so Al Jazeera doesn’t write about it and Guardian doesn’t retweet about it, and that’s the truth of the matter. The evidence is staring you in the face.

                  Doesn’t the idea of trained, uniformed soldiers, subject to a very robust, open legal system, as well as a military code of justice enforced by courts martial, sniping kids in the head for sport sound unbelievable? I posit that not only does it sound unbelievable, but that is actually is unbelievable; that if you were being rational, you should not and would not believe it.

                  No, no doctor anywhere in the world can determine the identity and motive of an individual from a bullet wound. This article’s presumption to the contrary defies obvious logic and physics. Think about it for five seconds. Terminal ballistics has nothing to do with identifying the shooter or motive.

                  In no court of law in America would these doctors testimony be admitted as identification evidence or to explain motive, and you must know this to be true. Should read more critically, slow down.

                    I’m sorry, but reality absolutely disagrees:

                    We have eyewitnesses to Israeli snipers shooting kids, it is NOT Hamas doing this.

                    "Q. Wait, you’re saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers?

                    A. Definitively. I have two children that I have photographs of, that were shot so perfectly in their chest I couldn’t put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately

                    . And directly on the side of the head, in the same child, no toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the world’s best sniper, and they are dead center shots."

                Israel is, depending on how you count it, between the #8th to #10th largest weapons dealer in the world. They don’t need OUR weapons.

                    Links supporting what I’m telling you, depending on how you count it, Israel is the #8, #9, #10 largest arms exporter in the world.

                    Us telling them “Yeah, well, we’re cutting you off…” means exactly nothing to them.
