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.

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”

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.

You know, like this:

“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.

They sure are defending themselves from the people they are genociding and neighbors who are upset about seeing a genocide near them.

An apartheid state doesn’t have a right to defend itself from the people they are oppressing.

Cut the weapons and let them decide. Do I end my genocide and apartheid or do I get overrun?

Where is the palastinians right to defend themselves?

Clearly you are faking your outrage if you can’t spell “palestinian”. You’re rumbled. Banned for trolling.
