(2,415 posts)My husband and I have spent the last 10 years supporting Palestine. He is past president of a church based national organization for Palestine human rights. He spent three months in Hebron with Christian Peacemaker Teams volunteering and walking kindergartners to school among other tasks. He grew up in Beirut where he passed Palestinian refugee camps every day.
We both voted for Kamala. The bashing here and lack of compassion for Palestinian supporters here only divides us. Compassion is an important value. Remember, we voted for her even though it hurt when she said: "I would not change a thing" that Joe has done. We voted for her even though people like us had their voices shut out. We are helping Indivisible and Move On with the current crisis.
Many Arab Americans had family in Gaza. I met a man at one of our church events who had lost 30 family members in Gaza. Make the tent wide and win. No more bashing please. Time to move on and save our nation together!
