Trump Wins Dearborn Amid Anger over Gaza

Mohammed Alam has been a loyal Democrat for decades and active in the party, but said he voted for Trump because the "Biden Harris administration failed to take any prompt action" to stop Israel's attacks against Palestinians.

IOW you're a gutless coward who can't defend his positions. My questions were simple and presented in a respectful manner. I, honestly, would be interested in learning something I may be missing. But you can't defend your position. You can't acknowledge that you are wrong about fentanyl smuggling.

Strategery! Brought to you by the same people who thought raping and murdering 1,400 civilian men, women, and children of a nuclear-armed nation with one of the strongest armed forces in the world was a good idea.

They FAFOed, and decided to ask for seconds.

The only person in the Trump Crime Family who cares about Arabs is J-Rad, because he is paid a boatload of money every year to run Saudi money. Funny thing is, J-Rad has made a lot of investment in Israeli firms with that wad of dough. Do his Saudi owners know this yet? Ooooops...

Saudi rulers don't care about the Palestinians and are OK with making peace with Israel. Which is the entire reason that Iran sicced Hamas/Palestinians on October 7th to stop normalization.

Idiots. Trump is fine with violence against palestinians. Gaza will disappear before the end of next year. Picture what happened to Warsaw when the Nazis decided they wanted to level it. Trump is already planning for beachfront casinos in that part of the world.

Yep!

Talk to me if I'm wrong people but didn't Trump literally say there would be great beachfront property in Gaza after Israel finished the job? Or am I combining two quotes or did neither even happen?

... Harris also lost some progressive voters like Jennifer Linzy over the vice president's stance on Israel's war with Hamas. Linzy, 39, left a Phoenix polling station on Tuesday saying she only voted down ballot races.

"This is the first time I've abstained in my entire adult life in a presidential election," said Linzy.

While abortion is an important issue for her, Israel's war in Gaza and the death of Palestinian civilians was her primary issue. "I made the decision this morning," said Linzy. ...

This Jennifer person needs to be slapped. Yes really. Protest votes when there's a fascist running for office? Not everyone has the money to move to another country when things go badly but apparently her privileged brain can't comprehend this.

All Biden had to do was stop sending weapons to a genocidal terrorist state and call for a ceasefire.

That's it.

And he couldn't even be bothered to do that.

And Kamala couldn't be bothered to say she'll do it in January.

So the kids who elected Biden with great hopes for things being better said "screw it, we'll let everything burn."

Maybe if we ever get to vote again we'll have better choices.

I hate to say it, but I think Trump has a better chance of bringing peace to that part of the world than any Dem would given the pressures of their base.

Dems are now beholden to naive Hamas-loving fools like Jennifer Linzy (who Palestinian Isis and Iran are happy to exploit) so Dems can't use the only thing that Palestinian Isis and Iran understand, brute and overwhelming force.

Dems will protest when Trump uses that force, and then they will be called out as terrorist-coddlers. So they will lose more than half the voters, and any shot at winning a general election, to placate five percent

Not for the GOP, it isn't. In fact it's very much a winning strategy. So much so, that they convinced Arab-Americans and Arab-supporters to help get them elected.

So enjoy having them call the shots for the foreseeable future.

Trump will build on his Abraham Accords with Israel and her neighbors, and extend them to a new Peace Agreement in the ME.

He'll prolly have to give Vlad Ukraine, all of it, and tell Nato they are on their own. Not that Nato couldn't handle Russia alone, but it would be very messy.

And Vlad will have to have Iran cut off the various Terrorist Groups that that make the most attacks on Israel.

He can even stay at his own new Hotel in Dubaii if it's finished by the time he signs the new agreement in Jerusalem where he is much loved. He might have even gotten Nuttinyahoo's job if he hadn't gotten his old one back.

Of course, as Policy it's short-sighted and stupid, but hey, so's Donny.

Trump Praised Netanyahu in Call After One of Israel's Worst Attacks (October 25, 2024)
newrepublic.com

... Despite his recent overtures to Muslim and Arab American voters, Donald Trump privately encouraged Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call earlier this month to "do what you have to do."

The Washington Post reported Friday the former president told the Israeli prime minister that he supported Israel's brutal bombing campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon, according to six anonymous sources. Trump himself has said that he has spoken to Netanyahu at least twice this month, with one phone conversation occurring as recently as Saturday.

According to Senator Lindsey Graham, Trump was especially impressed by Israel expanding its war to Lebanon, and told Netanyahu as much.

"He didn't tell him what to do militarily, but he expressed that he was impressed by the pagers," said Graham, who was on a call with Trump and Netanyahu earlier this month, referring to the Israeli attack on Hezbollah last month that used explosive batteries inside pagers. Those explosions killed dozens and injured more than 3,000.

"He expressed his awe for their military operations and what they have done," Graham added. "He told them, do what you have to do to defend yourself, but we're openly talking about a new Mideast. Trump understands that very much there has to be change with the corrupt Palestinian state."

This would seem to contradict what Trump has said in recent weeks in his overtures to Muslim and Arab American voters. ...

I have a lot of Arab friends. They all voted Trump. They are all mad and don't get it - NO president is going to NOT back Israel and least of all Trump.

Arabs saw the immediate enemy. The Biden administration was not changing policy. They were being ignored and not represented by the current administration. They voted for a change of government. The only Viable choice was Trump. If people here get hurt by that they don't care,why should they when they are being ignored anyway.

Trump will be Worse but they rejected, Correctly in my view, a Govt. that was not responding to them at all on matters of life and death.

Trump, Harris? on Palestine they will do Exactly the Same Thing.

Rejecting the Dems so they lost the election was political power by the people in Dearborn even if it harms them, they have been heard.

They had some degree of self determination in a Flawed and Corrupt System.
