Born in Azemmour, on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, he had been enslaved and taken to Spain and then across the ocean. In an ill-fated journey in which most people perished, Estevanico survived. He learned various Native American languages and became one of the first people from the Old World to cross the southern interior of the future United States.

First of a larger series and a web comic, Fahmy's adventures of a young Muslim girl making her way through school are laughable, relatable, and still grounded enough in prejudice and self-advocacy to be important for young readers.

"Arab and #MuslimAmericans in the state of Michigan are grappling with a critical choice this election. Nearly 400,000 #ArabAmericans in the state were instrumental in delivering #Michigan to elect Joe #Biden in 2020. This time, however, many feel betrayed by his administration’s support for Israel’s wars in #Gaza and #Lebanon."

Arab-American and Muslim voters angry at US support for Israel's genocide in Gaza are shunning Democrat Kamala Harris in the presidential race to back third-party candidate Jill Stein in numbers that could deny Harris victories in battleground states that will decide the Nov. 5 election.

The simple truth is that Kamala Harris should be promising an arms embargo on Israel because Netanyahu is conducting a nearly year-long genocide in Gaza, he's doing it with U.S. funded and supplied weapons he couldn't accomplish this goal without, and said arms embargo seems like it's the only way to get Israel to stop bombing hospitals and sniping children in broad daylight. There can be no question about these facts, and America's continued material support for Israeli's militarized campaign of extermination makes U.S. leaders culpable for these crimes against humanity. As I've also pointed out repeatedly however, the fact that the Democratic Party probably can't beat Trump without winning my home state of Michigan, and that state has an extremely large population of Muslim Americans who may not just "shut up and vote" for a government actively helping to exterminate Palestinians, is also another pretty good damn reason for an immediate arms embargo by the U.S., on Israel.
Muslims Were Reliably Democratic Voters. With US Gaza Policy, That’s Changed.
"Vice President Kamala Harris and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are virtually tied, with about 29 percent of Muslims planning to vote for each candidate, according to a survey of 1,159 voters conducted shortly after the DNC. Another 4 percent plan to vote for Cornel West, the unaffiliated antiwar candidate who is still fighting to be on the ballot in multiple states.
Just over 11 percent plan to vote for Republican Donald Trump, and 16 percent remain undecided. Only 8 percent said they are not planning to vote in November.
“This is showing that Muslim voters who traditionally in the last election voted over 60 percent for Biden, that 60 percent has evenly split now between two candidates who have two very different messages that are addressing their concerns,” said Robert McCaw, CAIR’s director of government affairs, during a press conference Thursday."
Look, I know some people (including "progressive" political darlings like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) are going to read that quote and reflexive start bitching about what a fraud Jill Stein is, and I'm certainly willing to concede that she's no friend of mine. By that same measure however, if you give people a choice at the ballot box between genocide, and more genocide, you probably shouldn't be at all surprised when folks whose friends and relatives you're helping to exterminate start casting around for another option.
If you read this whole article, it's clear that these folks are not committed Stein voters, so much as outraged at the crimes against humanity Harris is effectively refusing to take action against even if she wins the election. The Democratic Party hasn't lost Michigan yet, and inexplicably there's still time to turn this around; but given the paper-thin margins polling in the state is presenting, Muslim Americans in Michigan probably aren't a constituency Harris can simply ignore. The best time to slap an arms embargo on Israel was over ten months ago; the second best time is right now, and even if Biden refuses, Harris can promise that she'll do so if and when she wins the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Refusing to do that is not only criminally inhumane, but a staggering example of political malpractice by a campaign that keeps swearing up and down that *the* most important thing to save America is stopping Trump, as well.
Furthermore, with recent polling showing that as many as seventy-five percent of Democrat voters now oppose Israel’s war on Gaza, there would appear to be no political downside at the ballot box for Harris if she promised to end it; if anything she'd likely attract more voters by doing so, particularly young and nonwhite voters who were a vital and likely irreplaceable part of the coalition that stopped Trump and got Biden over in 2020. If Harris is serious about winning this election and stopping Trump from potentially ending what passes for American democracy, the choice here could not be clearer; she needs to side with everyday voters, and against fascist apartheid states, Biden's ongoing support for a genocide, and weapons contractors - not just because it's the right thing to do, but because she's not going to win in 2024 without Michigan and other former "blue wall" states in the Midwest, and they demand action.
If you don't want to see a second Trump presidency that will almost certainly result in a right wing attempt to install a permanent, overtly fascist political order in America, you need to stop yelling at people online to "shut up and vote" and start telling Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party that you demand they do what it takes to actually win this election; and they can start by promising an arms embargo on Israel that will come into effect on day 1 of her presidency at the latest.
