Syrian Americans Face A Difficult Choice in US Elections
If I were a Syrian American, I would face an incredibly challenging decision when it comes to voting.
Should I choose the passivists who show little concern for my homeland, turning a blind eye to Iran's malign influence and Assad's resurgence?
Or do I support a candidate with a history of racism and sexism who imposed a travel ban on all Syrians and views the Middle East solely through the narrow lens of bolstering Israel and weakening Iran?
Do I cast my vote for those who can't stand up to Netanyahu or for those who actively support him?
