Green Party candidate Jill Stein is gaining ground among Muslim-American voters in three critical swing states: Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, according to a recent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Stein leads Vice President and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in these states, with 40 per cent support in Michigan, 35 per cent in Arizona, and 44 per cent in Wisconsin. This surge in popularity appears tied to Stein’s vocal criticism of US support for Israel during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

It's ironic to see people in this thread talking about "Democrats closing their eyes and ears"...

In 1995 the Arab-Israeli electorate sat out the election in protest because of a bombing which allowed Netanyahu to win by half a percent. And now he is still in power today causing all of these atrocities.

Trump has had private meetings with Netanyahu telling him to keep it up because it makes Democrats look bad.

You're playing into Netanyahu and Trump's hand. Just like all the MAGAt's crying about the border when it was trump who stopped the border bill.

Genocide is a non-starter. I will not collaborate.

Simply? I dissent.

You're collaborating by participating in the US economy, far more than voting against Trump.
