>> No one is holding Vice President #Harris or President #Biden hostage over the war between #Israel and #Palestine.
I agree with most of what you say except for the #hostage keyword.
I thought I had provided enough context for it, but perhaps not. So, I will try to clarify:
US Elections since 2020 have been VERY close.
#HillaryClinton lost in 2016 due to #ElectoralCollege misses in WI, MI, PA.
Small margins in battleground states are enough to sway an election.

#Tlaib knows that MI is a battleground. She has not condemned #Hamas for #Oct7. She also knows that #Trump will be WORSE for #Muslims and her own #Palestinian / #Arab-American constituents.
YET, she is threatening to withhold votes in a crucial battleground, effectively threatening to throw #Election2024 unless US makes more #Hamas- and #Palestinian-friendly concessions.
So she's holding #Harris #hostage

I don't communicate with #Tlaib directly.
As for the Jewish people I mentioned, I have been communicating with them for MONTHS and had nothing but friendly relations with them.
I did not set out for confrontation. I asked him what part of #KamalaHarris' meeting with #Netanyahu he had linked to did he find so objectionable that he felt compelled to attack #Harris.
He's well-educated & respectable, but

…I have seen a pattern of dog whistles in his posts. Yet I followed him -- He just blocked me today, #HitAndRun.
He is influential, has a large following, and he FREQUENTLY posts about how #Independents hold the key to #US #Election2024.
Almost ALL of those posts are dog whistles that suggest unless #UnitedStates gives #Israel the tools necessary to #finishTheJob quickly, then independents like him will deny Dems a vote. Hence #hostage
@rameshgupta @pamela6591
No one is holding Harris hostage, except perhaps Nutandyahoo.
Genocide must end. Period. Full stop.
Leaders committing genocide must stand trial for war crimes. Period. Full stop.
Leaders who commit insurrection and steal national secrets and commit multiple felonies of many types need to be tried and held to account.
#SCOTUS is holding us hostage by siding with an insurrectionist. They violated 14 3 and must be held to account.

#Netanyahu is certainly holding #KamalaHarris hostage. he has repeatedly undermined and humiliated #Biden publicly, and made his preference for #Trump VERY clear, because ONLY Trump will give #Bibi the tools and the signal to #FinishTheJob quickly.
#Harris made clear the war must end. She also called for a #Palestinian home via #TwoStateSolution.
And THAT's the rub for BOTH #FromTheRiverToTheSea crowd and the forced #occupier / #settler crowd. Both hold Dems hostage
@rameshgupta @pamela6591
I agree.
Though the message of one citizen no doubt means nothing, I shared similar views with President Biden.
More, I explicitly made clear to him that he has limited time as President to get right with his God by standing up clearly against genocide or accept condemning his soul to ever lasting hell.
There is no such thing as a little bit of genocide. In for a penny, in for eternity in hell.

I said I was treating you with respect and requested you to tread carefully, and you responded by adding #Biden to #Harris #genocide? WTF?
International relations don't work the way you think.
#Iran is a sworn enemy of #US, and #Israel is a staunch ally of US. We have mutual treaty obligations.
#Hamas attacked Israel, and Israel has a right to defend itself. As Israel's ally, US must help defend it.
What has happened here is that Bibi has taken advantage of US help

If you take away ONE thing from this thread, let that be THIS.
For #Muslims worldwide, a Trump presidency will be FAR FAR Worse than anything under a #KamalaHarris presidency.
For this reason, and for this reason alone, Muslims, #Arab-Americans, #Palestinians, should vote for #Harris in their own self-interest.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
@rameshgupta @pamela6591 #Harris #Genocide
Yes, #Trump must be defeated.
But understand this. The usual view of left, center, right doesn't work anymore.
The Z gen has rejected that and has withheld support based on several isdues. This one, gender, and abortion among them.
Their vote must be won. Trying to fade right to hold some fictional moderates doesn't work anymore.
@rameshgupta @pamela6591
Harris must earn the youth vote.
To do that she must oppose genocide. Period.
She isn't being held hostage by anyone other than herself and the "moderates", fascists, and the war criminal Nutandyahoo.
⬆️ @samohTmaS @pamela6591
>> #Harris #Genocide … she must oppose genocide.
I'm treating you with respect. So please tread carefully.
Did you even READ what her position is? What she said to #Netanyahu in support of a #Palestinian home, #TwoStateSolution, a #ceaseFire, and to end the war quickly?
@rameshgupta @pamela6591 #Harris #Genocide
That sounds good. She is a politician trying to straddle a line.
Oppose genocide. Make it clear Nutandyahoo must stop now.
She needs to understand that if she doesn't, she will not get the youth vote. And then she seriously risks losing.
As to not offending you. Piss off. Genocide is a red line.
⬆️ @samohTmaS @pamela6591
#KamalaHarris did everything you asked for, and you are still being rude.
I don't usually block people because I want to hear other points of view, but I do not tolerate abuse.
This a final warning to you. Be civil. Thanks
@rameshgupta @pamela6591 #Harris #Genocide
No she didn't.
She spoke like a politician. Be absolutely clear. Genocide is utterly unacceptable. The war stops now. Period.
