So they got what they wanted.Some Arab Americans who voted for Trump say they are concerned about his picks for key positions
Albert Abbas, a Lebanese American leader whose brother owns the Dearborn, Michigan, restaurant Trump visited in the campaign’s final days, stood beside the former president during that visit and spoke in support of him.
Now, Abbas says it’s “too early” to judge Trump and that “we all need to take a deep breath, take a step back and let him do the work that he needs to do to to achieve this peace.”
“I just want you to think about what the alternative was,” said Abbas, referring to the current administration’s handling of Israel’s war in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon. He added, “What did you expect from myself or many members of the community to do?”
Beyond promising peace in the Middle East, Trump has offered few concrete details on how he plans to achieve it. His transition team did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump picks what pro-Israel conservatives call a ‘dream team’
The Republican Jewish Coalition, which organized for Trump in Michigan, has been outspoken in its support for many of Trump’s Cabinet picks. Sam Markstein, the group’s political director, described the proposed lineup as a “pro-Israel dream team,” adding that “folks are giddy about the picks.” He praised Trump’s pro-Israel record as “second to nobody.”
“The days of this mealymouthed, trying to have support in both camps of this issue are over,” Markstein said. “The way to secure the region is peace through strength, and that means no daylight between Israel and the United States.”
No roles yet for key figures in Trump’s Arab American outreach
Among the reasons some Arab American voters supported Trump was that they believed his prominent supporters would be key in the next administration.
Massad Boulos, a Lebanese businessman and father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany, led efforts to engage the Arab American community, organizing dozens of meetings across Michigan and other areas with large Arab populations. Some sessions also featured Richard Grenell, former acting director of national intelligence, who was well-regarded by those who met with him.
Neither Boulos nor Grenell has been tapped yet for the coming administration, though Grenell was once considered a potential secretary of state before Rubio was selected. Boulos declined to comment and Grenell did not respond to a request for comment.
“Some people expected Trump to be different and thought Massad would play a significant role,” said Osama Siblani, publisher of the Dearborn-based Arab American News, which declined to endorse a candidate in the presidential race.
Siblani himself turned down a suggested meeting with Trump after the non-endorsement announcement.
“But now people are coming to us and saying, ‘Look what you’ve done,’” Siblani said. “We had a choice between someone actively shooting and killing you and someone threatening to do so. We had to punish the person who was shooting and killing us at the time.”

This orange piece of shit wants to start a war smmfh.
Honestly wouldnt surprise me if they kicked them all out and brought in Filipinos, Indians, Africans etc to do that kind of work...remove the resistance threat entirelyThey won’t deport all Palestinian’s.
They will keep some there as “Indentured Servants” doing the dirty work as…
• Landscapers
• Maids/Cleaning/Janitor
• Sanitation - Garbage Disposal
• Laundry services
• Cooks
• Nannies
• Prostitutes
• Service Sector workers
They basically will do the dirty work Jews don’t want to do…
that water looks crisp....Trump repeatedly talked about redevelopment and referring to Gaza as a Mideast “French Riveria”.
He already scoped out land to build a Trump property on the shoreline.

I can 100% assure you she would not be having a press conference saying she was going to remove every palestinan from Gaza and take over the land to rebuild it for ourselves.Are we seriously going to pretend that anything would be different if Harris was elected?![]()

Couldnt tell these "uncommitted" voters nothing.
They wanted to show Biden and Harris.
Now Trump is going to turn their land into a resort.
Oh well. #FAFO.
I can 100% assure you that the Palestinians would be facing expulsion from Gaza whether or not it was done by American troops.
One thing if it’s done. But another thing completely if it’s done by AMERICAN troops.
I can 100% assure you that if American troops aren't involved, it would be none of our business. It would be between Israel and Gaza. That is not the same.I can 100% assure you that the Palestinians would be facing expulsion from Gaza whether or not it was done by American troops.
Why don't you ask the Palestinians you're caping for if they would prefer US troops to come and remove them or not. Easy for you to post on the internet from the comfort of your home. Folks like you are the reason why Trump is in power to even make this a conversation.This was done by funded American tax payer dollars with American missiles and bombs. Troops are the red line now?![]()
