At 6:29 a.m. on October 7, 2023, the music stopped. The sun was rising over the Nova festival in the Negev desert, where thousands had gathered to celebrate unity, love, and peace. In an instant, everything changed. Hamas attacked, turning a joyous festival into a nightmare. Innocent people were hunted down, fleeing into the desert, witnessing unimaginable violence.
This attack was a calculated move by Hamas to ignite a wider conflict, triggering war and escalating violence between Arabs and Jews. Hamas opposes peace and thrives on chaos, aligning its interests with those of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump—both seeking turmoil for their own gain. Trump and his allies have openly acknowledged that Jill Stein is critical to his 2024 victory, using her to siphon votes away from Kamala Harris in key battleground states. Stein is no ally of peace; she serves those who benefit from division and conflict.
We, as Arab and Muslim Americans for Peace, refuse to let extremists win. We support Kamala Harris because she stands for justice, reconciliation, and ending the cycle of violence. This election is not just about us in America—it impacts people across the world who long for peace.
We invite you to watch the videos on this page, where voices from the region speak directly to you. They are appealing for Americans to take action this election—for the sake of peace, for the sake of innocent lives caught in the crossfire. Please share these voices. Together, we can choose peace over extremism.
