U-Linda Sarsour ngumthunywa ka-Bernie Sanders.
CLIFTON -Yayiyigumbi lokuma kuphela ePalestine American Community Centre (PACC) eClifton ngolwe-Lwesine njengamalungu aseNew Jersey aseArab American aseMelika aphuma ayokuxhasa umgqatswa wobumongameli uninzi kuluntu luziva lulungele ukumela iimfuno zabo: USenator waseVermont uBernie Sanders .
Umnyhadala-oququzelelwe ngama-Arab aseMelika ka-Bernie Sanders-wahlanganisa iinkokheli zama-Arabhu ukuzokucebisa malunga nokuba kutheni amalungu oluntu kufuneka aye kuvoto ngolwe-Lwesibini ku-Juni 7 ukuyokuvota kwiziprayimari zikaSanders endaweni yokhuphiswano lweDemokhrasi owayesakuba nguNobhala welizwe uHillary Clinton. Izithethi zibandakanya umgqugquzeli waseBrooklyn kunye noBernie Sanders bathumele uLinda Sarsour, umhlekisi waseMichigan / uSanders ngokwesivumelwano u-Amer Zahr kunye noJim Zogby ongumsunguli weziko lase-Arab American ababize ngefowuni. UZogby ngumxhasi wasePalestine onenzondelelo obhalise uSanders ukunceda ukubhala iqonga leDemocratic Party.
NgokukaZogby, sisimo sikaSanders ngePalestine esimenza ahluke kuClinton.
Lo ngumgqatswa wokuqala wobongameli ukusukela [Jesse] Jackson ngo-1988 enze inqaku lokukhuthaza ubulungisa ePalestine hayi isisombululo samazwe amabini wonke umntu athetha ngaso. Uthethe ngemfesane, utshilo uZogby ngeSanders. Ngoku sinethuba lokuxhasa umgqatswa wobongameli ongagcini ngokuxhasa imicimbi yethu kodwa ophume waya kwilungu lomzimba. Sinegunya lokuba sisigqibo esigqibeleleyo kuye.
KwiSarsour, uSanders ngumgqatswa wokuqala onike ama-Arab aseMelika ithuba lokuba yinxalenye yengxoxo yezopolitiko.
Khange ndicinge nyani ukuba kukho umgqatswa obonakalisa amaxabiso am, utshilo uSarsour. UBernie Sanders wakhetha ukubeka umntu onjengam, umfazi kwi-hijab, umfazi ohlaselwe ngama-Islamiphobes, kwaye uBernie Sanders wandibeka phambi kwephulo lakhe. Ndiyakholelwa kwindoda esinika ithuba lokuba sizibandakanye kwiphulo layo… esivumayo thina, boodade nabazalwana, sibe yinxalenye yencoko. 
UZahr ngummeli weSanders.
UZahr uthe uyakholelwa ukuba ama-Arab aseMelika ayakuba yindawo yokuvota enefuthe ekuncedeni uSanders aphumelele. Ubalule ukuphumelela okungalindelekanga eMichigan njengomzekelo wento ezinokwenziwa ngama-Arabhu xa ekhuthazeka.
EMichigan abantu abazizigidi eziyi-1,2 bavote kwiziko ledemokhrasi. UBernie Sanders uphumelele ngeevoti ezingama-20 000, utshilo uZahr. Ukuba ukhe waya kwiDearborn, malunga nemimandla emibini. Ithetha ntoni le nto? Kuthetha ukuba ama-Arab aseMelika aphumelele iMichigan ngo-Bernie Sanders.
NgokukaZahr, iphulo leSanders ligubungela abantu abavela kuzo zonke iintlanga ezahlukeneyo kwaye bawela imiqobo yenkcubeko. Ucacisile into yokuba uSanders, ukuba unyuliwe, angangumongameli wokuqala wamaJuda e-United States. Kodwa, ngaphandle kwengxwabangxwaba eqhubeka kwa-Israyeli nasePalestine, uSanders uthethile ngentlonipho nesidima sabantu basePalestine.
Ngokuka-Zahr, ii-Arabhu ezininzi kubandakanya ngokwakhe akunakulindeleka ukuba batshintshe iivoti zabo kuClinton ukuba angangumgqatswa ophumeleleyo. Ucacise irekhodi lakhe kumazwe akuMbindi Mpuma kubandakanya iLibya neSyria njengezizathu zokuba angakwazi ukumvota ngokuziphatha.
Asinakuphinda sibe nomongameli oqhubhisa amazwe ethu ngalo lonke ixesha, utshilo uZahr.
Ngelixa izithethi ziwabona amandla kaClinton eNew Jersey, basakhuthaza abantu abazimase iminyhadala ukuba baphume bavote ngolwesiBini kuSanders. Bathe, nokuba uClinton uphumelele iNew Jersey, kubalulekile ukuba uSanders abekho kubathunywa abalulekileyo kwiDemocratic National Convention ePhiladelphia ngoJulayi.
Nangona umsitho ubushukuma kakhulu kuSanders, ayinguye wonke umntu owayekhona ukuze athethe malunga nesenator yaseVermont. Kutshanje u-Al Abdelaziz uphulukene nonyulo lwebhunga lesixeko kwiwadi ye-6th kaPaterson, ongomnye wabantu abaninzi baseArabhu kuhlanga. Ngelixa u-Abdelaziz exhasa uClinton, umMelika wasePalestine weza kumsitho ka-Bernie ukukhuthaza abavoti ukuba bavote abagqatswa be-Passaic County, i-surrogate, kunye ne-sheriff endaweni yabagqatswa ababini abanamagama azakuvela phantsi kukaSanders ngoLwesibini.
Nokuba nguBernie waseHillary, sinabagqatswa beDemokhrasi ekufuneka siqiniseke ukuba siyonyulwa, utshilo u-Abdelaziz. Ndifuna nje ukukhuthaza abantu abaye baxhasa indawo yethu kulonyulo.
U-Abdelaziz ukhuthaze abavoti ukuba baphinde bakhethe uRichard Berdnik ukuba abe ngusheriff, uBernice Toledo ukuze enze omnye umntu kunye noTerry Duffy kunye noPat Lepore.
Ngokuka-Sarsour, olu lonyulo luphawu olubalulekileyo kuma-Arab aseMelika.
Xa abahlali bethu bemi ngeenyawo, xa siququzelela, xa sihlanganisa, xa sithatha ilifa lethu lokuvota siqikelela ukuba kwenzeka ntoni? Siyaphumelela, utshilo.
Ngelixa umsitho ububanjelwe kwi-PACC, umbutho awuxhasi nawuphi na umgqatswa kamongameli. Abaviwa ababini be-Democratic Presidential baya kujongana nokhetho ngoLwesibini. Ngelixa abanye besithi uClinton uzakuvala ukutyunjwa (ukubala abaphathi) emva kweNew Jersey, uSanders kunye nabaxhasi bakhe bathi bazakuqhubeka ukuya kwindibano kaJulayi.
Unokuphumelela ukutyunjwa, ungavumeli mntu akuxelele nantoni na eyahlukileyo, utshilo uZahr.
