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.

    I’ll be watching how this bold strategy plays out in Gaza.

    Oh, this is a shocking turn of events.

    To clarify, this is not a new quote. However, this is the new Ambassador to Israel, I’m given to understand.

          We are at genocide. Now. Someone else tried coming up with the term ‘super genocide’ because whatever democrats are responsible for cant be that bad, trump has to be worse. And since we’re already at genocide, it has to be worse than genocide. Like we are currently at excusable genocide, doesnt count genocide, only technically genocide. Itll only be a crime against humanity once Trump is bombing women and children. I cant wait to see the headlines of hospitals getting hit with US missiles and people like you going “see? Its worse!”

          Ah yes, I must be naive. It can’t be that you’re wrong about the already existing levels of death.

            Pretty sure it’ll get worse, but let’s see. Maybe Israel has achieved maximum misery from which things literally can’t get worse. I’m betting not, but we’ll see.
