Who is currently president and supporting the genocide unconditionally?

No one is stopping you from voting for Harris, you are pro-genocide so knock yourself out. But you can't expect people who are opposed to genocide to vote for the genocider. It is not just Biden, it is the entire Democratic Party that is the problem. Harris on numerous occasions defended the genocide, and if she picks Shapiro that's someone who demonized the anti-genocide protestors and criminalized boycotts of Israel.

I am not counting on you. You are a lost cause. I am hoping and counting on Arabs and Muslims to not bend the knee and vote for the genocider whether Harris or Trump. The polls suggests they won't.

and I have reason to be optimistic despite our small numbers

In Michigan, for example, Biden won in 2020 by 154,000 votes. Census estimates put the state's Arab American population around at least 278,000.
Biden won Arizona by 10,500 votes. The Arab American population in the Grand Canyon State is estimated to be 60,000.
Biden took Georgia by 11,800 votes. The Arab American population there is at least 57,000.

Biden is out but most of us are wise enough to know Harris is the same if not worse on Palestine.
