I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

If they vote for Trump, overwhelmingly yes.
The numbers according to the Newsweek article show about 45% Trump, 43% Harris, 4% Stein, 6% undecided, and 2% refused to say (not sure why the Libertarian candidate wasn't included, as he's on the ballot in 47 states). It seems most Arab Americans don't want to vote for Trump, but even more don't want to vote for Harris.
I would argue that Harris is the better vote for people who support Gaza, but I'm not going to tell the Palestinian Americans who won't support her that what they're doing is a, "protest vote," or imply they're indifferent to the carnage in Gaza. The privileged position is the one where you get to make a cool, detached argument for harm reduction, not the one where you have to choose between which candidate will fund the ethnic cleansing of your homeland.
