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.
To Arabs with families in Gaza the worst is already happening. Entire branches of families have been wiped out. Trump quite literally can not be any worse for them than Biden. And Harris failed to meaningfully distance herself from Biden’s policies on Gaza. So they stayed home. This isn’t shocking, it’s an entirely human response.
And yet here we are with Israel announcing that they can start on the West Bank now that Trump won. But no, go ahead with your bOtH SiDEs shit, it’s so rational and Principled.
The war crimes that Biden decided weren’t bad enough to stop weapon shipments were committed in the West Bank. Go learn something before you embarrass yourself.
You can’t even bring yourself to admit that the announcement of extending the kind of carpet bombing we’ve seen in Gaza to the West Bank is a bad thing.
See my other comment for the answer to this utterly bad faith line.
It’s bad news, not bad faith. You still can’t bring yourself to admit that Trump winning is a disaster for Palestine.
