Abbas Alawieh, one of the co-founders of Uncommitted, says: jacobin.com/2024/09/unco...

I say, as someone who has family who lives in South Lebanon right now — who are living under the terror of US weapons raining down on them from the Israeli military — I do not have the luxury of giving up on the only one of the two major parties where there is room for this debate.
We have to take stock of what it would look like for Trump to be president and whether we’re doing the difficult work of this moment — which is not pretty, and a lot of folks don’t want to hear it — in the sense of telling people and being clear about what our organizing would look like under Donald Trump. The reality is that it would be really, really difficult to see student protesters deported, as Trump is promising, and it’s not just that. What is our responsibility to the people we love who are there? A few weekends ago, I was on the phone with my uncle, who’s living in South Lebanon now, and it was the heaviest bombardment he’d experienced since the war in 2006. He was asking me, “Do people over there know that if Trump becomes president, that he’ll give Netanyahu the green light to kill a lot more of us?”
