Summary
In Wayne County, Arab American precincts rejected Kamala Harris, with Biden receiving 82% of the vote in 2020 and Harris only 23% in 2024.
Trump’s outreach to Arab American and Muslim communities, including visits to Dearborn and Hamtramck, contributed to his increased support.
Harris’s performance in Dearborn, where she received only 13% of the vote in the south end, reflects the backlash against Biden’s handling of foreign policy in the Middle East.
Let’s not stop the genocide, instead let’s advocate for lil genocide. It’s a compromise with BIG genocide. Oh no, that plan didn’t work, the people who wanted genocide voted for big genocide. And the people who wanted no genocide didn’t vote. Damn those no genocide voters, don’t they know that a lil genocide is better than big genocide?
I will learn nothing from this and do it again.
Weird how repeatedly calling for an immediate cease fire and a two state solution in Israel = “lil genocide”.

“Monday’s meeting in Washington, D.C., comes one day after Harris called for an immediate, temporary cease-fire in Gaza to facilitate an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and detainees. Harris is expected to continue pressing Israel to pause the fighting and allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.”

“Vice President Kamala Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private Thursday and followed it with a strikingly forceful call on his government to get a cease-fire deal done and ease the suffering of civilians in Gaza.”

“Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her call for a ceasefire-for-hostage deal in Gaza while expressing sympathy for both Israelis and Palestinians affected by the conflict. Harris condemned the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel but said “far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed” by Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza.”
Do you get something out of mis-representing what she said and did? Or were you just not actually paying attention?
Immediate ceasefire was also Biden’s publicly stated position. While he was sending 2,000 pound bombs. Which are not a defensive weapon in any military’s playbook.
And US law doesn’t distinguish. All military aid should have stopped the minute USAID made the determination that Israel was withholding food from Gaza. Both the Foreign Assistance Act and the Leahy Law make this clear. And this is after the mountains of evidence that Israel was systematically bombing concentrations of IDPs and aid workers, and using Palestinians as human shields. Any one of which would have shut off military aid to any other country.
So you have the Vice President saying the same thing as her President while he’s violating the law to fund a genocide. This isn’t shocking. The Arab Americans in Michigan are human. Expecting them to vote for the person who won’t make herself meaningfully different on the issue is a fools errand. It doesn’t get worse from their point of view, there is no super genocide.
Careful now… you might end up with a song written about you!
No thanks, I already got one!

Mhm mhm. Now find me one of them saying they will stop sending Israel weapons.
“Please stop committing the Holocaust Germany. Btw here is a new batch of missiles to fight Poland”
Move the goal posts more. Pathetic.
They send Israel weapons to defend themselves from attack by hostile forces. Israel has the right to do that.
If you want to blame Netanyahu for misappropriating defense supplies, that’s absolutely fair, but that’s NOT why Israel is being supplied.

“Let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself,” she said tonight. She said that Israelis should “never again” go through the horror and “unspeakable” attacks of Oct. 7.
“At the same time what has happened in Gaza in the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking,”
None of this is supporting genocide in any way, shape, or form. If you believe it is, please supply a source showing Biden or Harris giving free reign for Israel to do what they want.

“They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
Oh, wait, no, that’s Trump.

Clearly you are faking your outrage if you can’t spell “palestinian”. You’re rumbled. Banned for trolling.
Jesus, you’re full of yourself. Banning someone for nothing more than disagreeing with you. Why don’t I just go back to Reddit if this is the moderation we are going to have here?
