And now with Rubio, Gaetz and Suckabee all getting appointments in the Trump cabinet. All people that couldn't give a rats ass about Gaza or Palestinians. NOW the Uncommitted party is asking Biden to do something before Trump is sworn in. I am really amazed at what people thought was gonna happen!!! This is like a bad sitcom! If I saw this on an episode of Seinfeld, I wouldn't believe it because no group of people are dumb enough to fall for the same scam, and yet here we are.
Dearborn Residents Show Remorse After Trump Win: 'He's Playing Us'
In the wake of
Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election, residents of Dearborn, Michigan, are voicing their regret and frustration, with many expressing feelings of being misled.
The Biden-Harris administration has remained a staunch ally of Israel since the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, which killed 1,200 Israelis and took over 200 hostages. Following the attack, Israel launched airstrikes on Gaza, which have killed more than 43,000 people. Since then, the U.S. has continued to send weapons to Israel—something that has greatly angered Arab Americans.
Additionally, Harris told
CNN in an interview in August that she would not approach the Israel-Hamas war differently to her boss.
"Let me be very clear, I'm unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel's defense and its ability to defend itself, and that's not going to change," Harris said. She also refused to host a Palestinian American onstage at the Democratic National Convention.
"We were asking Democratic leadership to empower us," Abbas Alawieh, a Lebanese American from Dearborn, and one-time chief of staff to Rep.
Cori Bush, said. "They flat-out said, 'No thanks. We're good without you.' I'd hoped that, whatever calculus they were making, there were some 101,000
Liz Cheney voters out there somewhere they were catering to. It turns out those voters don't exist," he added, referencing the daughter of former
Republican Vice President
Dick Cheney, who was the mastermind behind the war in Iraq. Liz Cheney endorsed Harris in this election.
But while Arab Americans are feeling anger at the Democrats, they are also not necessarily convinced by Trump.
"They didn't vote for Trump because they believe Trump is the best candidate," Osama Siblani, publisher of The Arab American News, told Politico. "No, they voted for Trump because they want to punish the Democrats and Harris."
"It's clear as day that he's playing us," Alawieh added of Trump. "I think he's going to target us. That's what he's going to do. He's going to target our families, and it's going to hurt. So, I think we're about to find out."
