Commissioned by the Arab American Institute (AAI), the online poll of 2,505 American voters conducted between July 31 and August 1 found that 44% of U.S. voters would back Harris, 40% would support Republican nominee Donald Trump, and 11% would vote third party “if the election for president of the United States were held today.”
But if Harris were to endorse a suspension of U.S. arms shipments and diplomatic support for Israel “until there was a cease-fire and withdrawal of forces from Gaza,” her national support would grow from 44% to 49%.
A majority of Democratic voters say the Gaza crisis is either very or somewhat important in determining how they vote in November, according to the AAI poll.
The new survey, which has a margin of error of 2 percentage points, is consistent with an earlier poll commissioned by the Institute for Middle Eastern Understanding Policy Project, which found that Harris would bolster her chances in key battleground states if she backed an arms embargo.
America really needs to stop calling actual governments terrorists.
What if they’re engaging in terrorism?
Then there’s words for that. State Sponsored Terrorism or Act of War.
We don’t want to use those words though because that would mean Israel has been committing acts of war against Gaza for decades, regardless of where they were in the peace process. Instead we pretend Hamas aren’t a government and therefore things like the blockade aren’t Acts of War, they’re just internal military operations.
Sounds like terrorism
It’s the difference between Iran and Al Qaeda. Nobody is saying they’re great people. But you treat those two differently.
Islamic STATE vs Jewish state… THEYRE THE SAME THING WITH DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS NUTJOBS AT THE HELM
Really? Just writing off everyone in Iraq as shit?
Least Bigoted American.
A. Iran, not Iraq.
B. The people are not the state there. That’s part of why the distinction is made.
C. Be better.
I’ll hear this line up front, and then I’ll watch the country get terrorized while Americans insist the victims of bombings deserve it.
Honestly, where do you think you get off with this shit? Just a totally unwarranted, baseless, and factually inaccurate attack. Makes you look like a petty idiot.
