US Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.

“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.

    The end result is the fucking same and you’re here arguing over pointless technicalities as if they mean anything.

    Ah, that explains it, you think that speeding up the genocide of Palestinians is a ‘pointless technicality’. How… charming.

      How do you measure this “speed up”? What you consider a speed up could’ve simply been the progression of the campaign which would’ve occurred under democrats as well. Either way the end result is the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people. Do you think starving them all to death is better than bombing them all to death just because it’s slower?

        Either way the end result is the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people.

        Not unlike the past 20 years of genocide, but hey, who cares about the speed up in the past year? Same end result, right? /s
