      Your right, but I think my point still stands. In order for that to be meaningful, the number of Americans that were Palestinian would have be such that it would swing an election. I don’t think they make a significant voting block. So I don’t think you can say the white shirted guy is representative of that.

        Maybe if they genocide a million palestinians? Would that make a difference? I feel like both “parties” would still support it.

          What?

          I’m saying the number of American-Palestinians was not a high enough population to swing the vote to trump.

          I’m not making a “both parties” argument so much as calling out the nonsensical view of “Muslims are why we gave Donald Trump”. Because we don’t. We have it because they ran an overall terrible campaign that failed to sway voters of all kinds to actually get out and vote.
