    I think what’s missing from your analysis is that they tend to be socially conservative. As in, they don’t like the gays and the atheists.

      This was also left out of the discussion with Palestinian voters in Michigan at the peak of the blowback for Biden’s support of Israel a few months ago.

        Are you implying that Palestinians aren’t going to vote Biden because they’re too socially conservative?

        Well, it’s not really relevant when children are getting killed.by potshots and indiscriminate bombing right?

        Just because someone’s parents are hypothetically massively homophobic, doesn’t mean kids deserve to die.

        (Im not suggesting you are saying that)

            Why would Palestinian voters care about an LGBTQ issue during the “Biden blowback” as relates to Israel? Wouldn’t they care about dead family more, and therefore not vote for anything around Biden, on that reason primarily?

              maybe? Middle eastern people aren’t exactly known for liking gay people either. I was mostly just trying to figure out what you meant with that clusterfuck of a comment.
