They're still undecided or are moving to third parties. Solidarity with Gaza is "the single most important issue for American Muslims..a group no candidate can afford to ignore." Perhaps it would be wise for the Dems to listen to them #MuslimVoters #UndecidedVoters #USPol #GazaGenocide #USEnablement ..

So, from the beginning, Zionism was perceived as an arm of western imperialism & western colonialism. Norman Finkelstein (from 11.20) #Zionism #Palestine .2
