An important message to my Pro-Palestinian friends protesting the Democratic Convention—but never bothering with Republicans or GOP candidates:
Former President Donald Trump uses “Palestinian” as an insult. His administration moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem to upset the Arab population that shares that space with Israel, and recognized Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights. In 2016, Trump campaigned on a complete shutdown of travel by Muslims into the United States. Trump now speaks of deporting campus anti-Israel protesters. He has pledged to block Gaza refugees from entering the United States.
At this moment, the Biden-Harris Administration’s terms for ending the fighting in Gaza include a full Palestinian statehood.
Heads up: You are empowering the wrong party by raging against the only one that listens to and addresses your grievances.
Take it from someone who has protested for equality all her life: watch out you are not being manipulated away from your desired endgame.
