Arab Americans Won’t Be Shamed into Voting for Joe Biden

Some Arab American individuals might vote for Biden this November, but the community as a whole won’t forget his endorsement of genocide.

I grew up in the Arab American community. I have a large extended family who claim the identity (along with my nuclear family). I know the community well, both personally and sociologically, and both in its working class and professional iterations. It is my opinion that liberals who expect Arab Americans to forget about Biden’s endorsement of Zionist genocide when November comes around are profoundly mistaken.

Nevertheless, it is usually their governments either orchestrating or abetting the horror. They ought to do something, then, even if it seems pyrrhic or inadequate.
