as usual you miss my point, HGirl

I refer to the legions of Americans who are Jewish and vote
and the tiny numbers of Arabs who live in this country
either as citizens or otherwise
the total number of Arabs in this country is under 0.2%
(this is not a working alien, nonvoting issue)

specific point:
when was the last time you heard a Congressional member say?
"my Arab constituents back home would be very upset"

our foreign policy, Middle East policy is somewhat tilted due to the absence of any meaningful Arab voters, and the well-informed educated and active large numbers of Jewish voters

I dont know any Jewish friends who dont vote

NYCity was set as a target for many reasons
it is home to 1/2 the country's Jews, I believe

I struggled last week to recall how many Arabs I knew or know
it is one, and I eagerly await a reply to my email
he is a fine guy, half Palestinian, half Greek

do you miss the point, or prefer another straw dog?

the Albanian voting block is tiny also
unsure which is smallest
Arabs, Albanians, or Tibetans

if 10 million Tibetans lived in California and scattered across the other states, we would have acted against China

no voters, no strong response

if you own a dog, name him "Straw"
