Summary
U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Trump to protest Biden’s stance on Gaza and Lebanon now feel betrayed by Trump’s pro-Israel Cabinet picks.
His appointments of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, and Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador have drawn sharp criticism, with some accusing the administration of pursuing “Zionist overdrive” and “neoconservative” priorities.
Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the “Abandon Harris” campaign and co-founded “Muslims for Trump,” and Rexhinaldo Nazarko, executive director of AMEEN, feel betrayed by broken promises of peace.
“It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” said Nazarko, adding, “it does look like our community has been played.”

Lol get fucked losers.
I’m done feeling sorry for dumbasses that shoot themselves in the foot then complain about the pain. Shut the fuck up and lay in the bed of shit you made.
“It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” said Nazarko, adding, “it does look like our community has been played.”
You literally played yourself. No help from Trump. I can’t think of a single goddamn thing he’s said that was even vaguely pro-Palestine. Jesus Christ.
I actually think it was Russia pushing a lot of this again. It’s exactly what they did to us Bernie supporters the last time we got the trump
This is what I’ve been saying all along. The Abandon Harris movement was orchestrated to disillusion voters and make them stay home. Just like what happened with Bernie bros.
The logic of it was completely flawed. And every argument about how strategic voting is important under first-past-the-post, and how Trump would certainly be a worse choice on the subject of Israeli genocide, was met with “maybe you can support genocide, but I can’t.” Which didn’t address the issue at hand at all.
Our country is full of rubes of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some fall for Trump’s rhetoric and vote for him, others fall for shit like this and don’t vote.
I think we should really stop blaming Russian propaganda and focus on blaming ourselves. There’s too large a portion of the US population who lap up easily refuted news and opinions. Russia didn’t make Americans stupid we did. Russia didn’t divide America, its been divided since its creation.
I think there is plenty of blame to go around. In fact, I think the problem since the election has been that people refuse to admit that. As if there has to be one single entity you can point your finger at to blame everything on.
And certainly don’t consider yourself culpable in any way, shape or form.
I mean I consider myself culpable and I voted for Harris. But I also didn’t do anything to convince any of my neighbors to do it. I never phone banked or anything.
And yet somehow the “don’t vote for Harris because genocide” people think they have absolutely nothing to do with people not voting for Harris and it’s certainly not their fault in any way that she lost.
I have utmost dislike in saying this, but: “ha, suckers”
No ‘ha’ here from me. It’s just sad. And infuriating.
Fair point
These goddamned fucking idiots. This stupid country deserves every comeuppance it gets from this clown administration.
“Muslim leaders” who the fuck are even these people. a Philadelphia investor? yeah I bet he’s super religious. gtfoh
A Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.
You didn’t need to be religious to be a religious leader.
They didn’t think the leopard would eat THEIR face.
“our community has been played”…
[Insert Curb Your Enthusiasm theme music here]
Doesn’t his Sec of Defense nominee have a Deus Vult tattoo? Yeah, that doesn’t bode well…
I don’t believe for one second that these “muslim leaders” care one iota about Palestine or Gaza. They care about the money Orange promised them. This is just posturing and fake outrage to cover their ass.
What money?
Deep down, I knew something was off about that face-eating leopard I adopted.
Lol, wonder how many of them were swayed by twitch personalities like Hasan spending the last several months screaming not to vote for Harris because she wasn’t left enough. Well, this is what you get.
Lol
Wait, voting for the face eating leopards party isn’t going to work out for them? "I am sure the openly racist party is not talking about me specifically. " Wait until they see the plans to deport them back to the front lines of the genocide.
