Israel’s war against Gaza live: People flee “in fear” of tank and drone attacks | News on the Israel-Palestine conflict

Ayah Ziyadeh, director of the advocacy group American Muslims for Palestine, said Trump’s calling Joe Biden “like a Palestinian” in the debate was an “obviously racist” insult and that neither presidential candidate is well received by many in the U.S. Palestinian and Arab community.

“The Israeli genocide in Gaza has become a central issue in this election. Not only are Muslim and Arab Americans deciding they do not want to commit to Biden or re-elect him because he continues to uphold his stance and fuel the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The broader American public has also changed, and this has become one of the biggest issues affecting the upcoming election,” Ziyadeh told Al Jazeera.

“Right now, it seems like most of our communities are undecided or simply do not want to vote because we are being presented with two candidates who are simply not fit to represent us, either as Palestinians or as Americans,” Ziyadeh said.

“One is obviously racist. He wants to deport us all. And he says President Biden is basically not genocidal enough and he should let Israel end its war on Gaza. And the current president has knowingly and willingly, politically and financially, supported an obvious genocide in Gaza,” she said.

“There are at least two evils here,” she added.

“The card we have been dealt as voters and as Americans is, frankly, unfair.”
