Anti-Israel Group 'Abandon Harris' Expands into Battlegrounds Wisconsin and Georgia

In a bid to divert votes from Harris in response to her stance on the Israel-Hamas war, the group is promoting Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who has pledged to end all military support to Israel. "Abandon Harris," which began in Michigan, expanded its campaigns to Wisconsin and Georgia this week as Harris and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump remain in a tight battle in the key swing states.

"Abandon Harris"—formerly "Abandon Biden"—demands a "permanent and unconditional ceasefire" and "a full arms embargo against the state of Israel," according to the group’s website.

"We have become familiar with the way in which the president and vice president double-talk to our community by making vague allusions of ending the genocidal war while permitting the state of Israel to continue their attacks on innocent people on the verge of disintegration," Hassan Abdel Salam, a spokesman for the group, told the Washington Times.

Interesting, but one has to wonder how much traction this has outside of Michigan. Arab-American votes are more significant in MI, which is why Biden and Harris were so desperate to pander to them. There may be a statistically significant contingent of radical college students that this could influence, but enough to swing an election, even a close one? Maybe, but I'm a bit skeptical that this will actually move the needle with that demo.
