Dan GillmorMichigan's Muslim voters were (rightly) pissed at Biden administration's Gaza policy, so many voted for Trump, whose anti-Islam bigotry was well known, and helped give him the state's electoral votes. And now they're shocked, shocked to discover how self-defeating that was. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/michigan-arab-communities-ice-fear
hiphopheaven@dangillmor Harris lost because of the economy not anti occupation people. Yiu are blaming everybody except yourselves

Yes. It was not Gaza. It was never about Gaza. It is funny how people keep harping about genocide in Gaza but are silent on what #Hamas did in al-Aqsa Flood Operation. #Hamas ran a mafia organization inside Gaza preventing real democracy and freedom of expression.
Not ignoring the role that Israel played in building up #Hamas as an opponent to Fatah. Whatever bad #Israel is doing in #Gaza, #Hamas has done worse.
@welkin7 @dangillmor it's frustrating that you ignore 78 goddamn year of israel oppresing palestinians. You can deflect all you want with Hamas. Fact is israel is doing settler colonialism and genocide two crimes that not a single excuse justify it. Hundred of palestinians are killed yearly by idf and the settler terrorists and Israel did every goddamn attrocity Hamas did in larger scale for longer time. So shut the f up you piece of trash
@hiphopheaven @dangillmor
A land without people for people without land was and still remains fundamentally flawed. And possibly fatally. So is the project of greater #Israel. The instances of Israeli settler violence against Occupied West Bank and Occupied Gaza are appalling.
This does not justify #Oct7. #Hamas and its ilks carried out a medieval barbaric, inhuman murder of people. #Hamas has to be held accountable for its role in causing the suffering of Gaza.
@welkin7 @dangillmor why are you always using softer words when talking about Israel. Why don't you also say that Israel is a doing medieval barbaric, inhuman murder of people when Israel did all the atrocities Hamas did for longer and in a larger scale?
@hiphopheaven @dangillmor Because of what happened on #Oct7. I refuse to equate the victim with the perpetrator. #Israel will have to account for its crimes. But those crimes do not justify #Oct7.
Prior to #Oct7 there were no Israeli troops in Gaza. Gaza was not a rubble. Now #Gaza has #Israeli troops and is a rubble thanks to al-Aqsa Flood operation.
What #Hamas, #IslamicJihad and their cohorts have done is set back the emergence of a Palestine state by decades.
@welkin7 @dangillmor before 7 of october there was hundred of palestinians murdered yearly, there was palestinians expulsed from their land, there was torture in israeli jail , there was rape including minors so fuck you for minimizing Israel oxxupation. Like i said the occupation do not justify 7 of october and 7 of october do not justify Genocide the worse crimes in history but here you are like a savage alluding that Isrsel hqs no option but to commit genocide and flatten most of Gaza
