After reading further, I see your point. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into checking for the AMP pages. (Never heard of those before, haven’t done much with the web for quite a while.)

Blame Biden-Harris and the Democrats, not the Palestinians.
Yes, but there is also an archive version posted.
Yes, they are a marketing technique, but I don’t know of any other legal way to share them. Please give me any ideas you may have. Thanks.
Article contains info from interviews and internal documents of government officials from various countries.

That statement is truly incredible! Biden helped give cover to Netanyahu (in addition to endless supplies of bombs) and drew one tiny red line for a few weeks (no bunker-busters in Rafah) and that faded quickly. He stopped funding UNWRA, even when other Western countries resumed it. Continuous support for Israel in the UN Security Council.
The West Bank example is grotesque. What effect did those sanctions have? None that I can see. The IDF has begun destroying infrastructure like they have done in Gaza, in addition to all of the killings.
So no, there is no reason to defend Biden/Harris. Is Trump worse? Yes, so what about it? Should we refrain from protesting because Democrats are in power right now?
Aren’t the elections over? Whatever “strategic” excuse for supporting Biden/Harris is gone now. It’s a bi-partisan policy of unconditional support for Israel.
It’s true Trump will be more extreme, but there is no longer any excuse for going easy on Biden/Harris, if there ever was.
Yeah, that sounds like the line of the Communist Party of Germany in the 1930’s. Didn’t end up too well. Read Trotsky on that.
No, there is no “right” choice here, if you mean something that is going to benefit Palestine and Gaza in the short term. The vast majority of those who voted against Harris knew that Trump won’t be better, but they could not go along with a candidate actively involved in genocide. Plus, they wanted to let the Democrats know that they would pay a price for their treachery. As it turned out, the pro-Palestine vote against Harris had a very clear effect in Michigan and Wisconsin, but it can’t be blamed for her defeat.

I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for Jill Stein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for Harris. I feel much better now. :-)

You should look at my post history a little harder. I have posted a lot on Palestine, and very few have centered on Harris. I consider the election choices very painful for anyone who wants to keep Trump out while not supporting an administration which is clearly collaborating in a genocide with Israel. Most likely I will hold my nose and vote for Harris, but I’m not sure yet. If I don’t, I would be voting for Jill Stein.
Sorry if you think that my posting reflects “bad faith”. I have responded to comments a few times, but generally I’m trying to get useful articles out to the Fediverse. (I also post a lot in Mastodon.)
I did write one long comment on voting for Harris, where I stated that it is a difficult decision for me, because each day I get angrier at the Biden/Harris blank check for Bibi. At the same time, I clearly don’t want Trump.
