Trump and Harris: They're just two sides of the same coin
"Black and white dog": What is the difference between Trump and Harris?
Last week's US presidential debates taught Muslims a good lesson. It revealed to us the inability of Washington to make a fair choice on the Palestinian issue, consistent with any human values. When Joe Biden won the US presidency in January 2020, it seemed that Donald Trump's relationship with the Zionists was coming to an end. At that time, no one believed that in the future Tel Aviv would massacre Palestinians under the leadership of the Democrats. This is another indication that Muslims should not forget their original history, no matter how the invaders come to power under any slogan.
In a recent debate against Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump, Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris repeated the same rhetoric that made Biden look better than Trump.
"Israel has the right to defend itself, but the most important thing here is how it defends itself," he said. Harris tried to confuse everyone by citing October 7 as the starting point of the Zionist attack. He is "sorry" that so many innocent Palestinians have died, but like all US officials, he is reluctant to call for a ceasefire. He connected this process with the release of Israeli hostages. The presidential candidate could not say a word about Israel stopping the killing of Palestinians, or else Washington, which talks about human rights, would "listen to the ear" of Tel Aviv.
In fact, any genocide cannot be justified. Nevertheless, the massacre of Muslims by the Zionists is not due to the events of October 7, but because Israel is trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza. This is happening after the struggle and perseverance of the Palestinians for their freedom despite decades of colonial oppression. Gaza has become a symbol of the struggle of Muslims against the invaders. Palestinians face death Israel and its powerful partners are true Muslims who are not broken no matter how much they are crushed by their hands, who are resisting until the last drop of their blood. Harris's reaction to the brutal killing of innocent women and children is also patronizing Israel, which prevents Americans from realizing the truth.
So, in what ways could Harris be a better choice for president than Trump? If neither wants an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza, and both repeat Israel's "need to defend itself," how can they differ?
Even with any future policy changes in the White House, the Palestinians killed by Israel with the equal complicity of the United States cannot be brought back to life.
If we look at history, not only the bombing of civilians after October 7, but the whole period after the establishment of Israel is full of unforgivable bloody crimes of the occupiers. In particular, the United States has a significant role in these crimes. In particular, the presidents of the USA have been giving unprecedented concessions to Israel since May 1948, when the occupying state was recognized for the first time.
The Biden administration has so far used Trump's unilateral concessions to Israel to prove colonial violence and growing US complicity. So, in this situation, is Harris seen as a better option simply because his primary opponent is Trump? If Harris wins the November elections, how will Muslims who have turned their backs on Trump and rushed to support Biden react? Then wouldn't they be endorsing the force behind the genocide? It is well known that Harris behaves like Trump.
Harris promotes a distorted and inaccurate interpretation of history. Rejecting historical ties and sticking to October 7 means that any presidential candidate will serve Israel's interests. It is an equal service to the genocide in Gaza. Harris is not a better alternative, it is more accurate to say that he is simply a continuation of the Biden administration. Just like Trump... They are just political actors pursuing the goals of an imperialist state.
