Majority of Palestinians are Muslims and Israel is currently conducting a genocide which the US government supports. So anything tangentially to Palestinians, whether it’s a Ramadan Iftar or any other event, needs to be fought. That’s why people are being arrested and thrown into immigration detention centers because of their pro Palestinian views. Now if those same people were criticizing the US no one would care. But because they are criticizing Israel, they need to be deported. Whole thing is pretty disgusting and as an Arab I no longer feel safe in Arlington or the US for that matter. But I’m not going to whine about it or create a big fuss. Why? Well when my fellow Arabs are actually experiencing a genocide, whining about not feeling safe feels silly. Second, I might lose my job because of a pro Israeli vindictive Arlingtonian or even get deported (since Trump is exploring how to deport naturalized citizens). I have told my children not to talk about what’s happening in the classroom and not to even mention it to their teachers or good friends. I am so disgusted by what’s happening and how supportive everyone seems to be of this genocide. Not once has anyone at work or in my neighborhood asked me how I’m doing although everyone knows our background. No one gives a shit.

Oh stop it already.

Hamas started it Israel will finish it.

Palestinians overwhelmingly support HAMAS.

Not a Nettanyahu fan however your narrative is absurd.

Palestinians said nothing while Hamas built tunnel plus tunnel under hospitals and schools and they overwhelmingly want all Jews dead.

This has nothing to do with celebrations is public schools.

Schools should not be celebrating Hanukah or Christmas or any religious holiday as Publics are secular.
Given the Christian Nationalists have taken over and Project 2025 is coming in fast this will now been law of the land.

Just wait til Catholics find out it won't be the Catholic teachings or the Evangelicals find out it won't be their version.

See idiots you Christian Nationalists now have a problem because which of the Christian religions will be the most dominant? LOL Cult of stupids.

Yes Israel is in the process of “finishing it” by committing genocide against an entire people. Anyways I don’t care to argue with you. Everything you said proves my point.

Maybe no one has reached out to b/c it's not a genocide? Or are you talking about what I happening to the Alawhites in Syria?

The world is a complex place -- not everything can be blamed on Israel. Sorry.

Not sure why you are bringing up what is happening to the Alawis in Syria. Are you assuming I support the massacre of Alawis and other minorities in the Syrian coast? After all I never advocated for the funding of extremist rebels by the US government or their Gulf allies (also assisted by Israel by the way, look it up).
