The āUncommittedā movement seeking a change in the Democratic Partyās approach to the war in Gaza on Thursday announced it is not ready to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ā while urging voters not to back Republican nominee Donald Trump or third-party candidates who could help Trump win the November election.
The āUncommittedā group āopposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,ā the statement continues. Additionally, the group is ānot recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our countryās broken electoral college system.ā
The path to ending the conflict is through boycotts, not the president. But that takes time, so 10% less killing makes sense as a stop gap.
There is precedent for this. See apartheid South Africa. Palestinian freedom will seem impossible until it becomes inevitable.
US House overwhelmingly passes anti-BDS resolution
Weāve already seen individual states go so far as to issue state sanctions aimed at BDS movements. US House Resolution 246 seems to be an exercise in vote counting by the AIPAC Lobby to advance a national bill to the same effect.
The South African Apartheid system likely would have held up indefinitely if the US was the only country involved deciding its fate. And the Afrikaners had far less influence over the US Congress than the Israel lobby.
