Can you name one thing that Biden didn't let Netanyahu do? Do you realize that on election day, the IDF announced that northern Gaza had been ethnically cleansed and that no Palestinians would be allowed to return? Is the blood of the Gazan children killed while Biden was president on your hands?
Also, as an earlier poster pointed out, many of the Dearborn Arabs are Christian.
Can you name what Trump won't let Netanyahu do? And do you think the IDF really cares whether they are firing on a Lebanese Christian community or a Lebanese Muslim community?
You are not following the conversation. The earlier poster said that Trump "will let Netanyahu do whatever he wants". I don't disagree with that, but I pointed out that the same is true for Biden and probably Harris as well. The poster also placed blame on "Dearborn Muslims" and I pointed out that there are also "Dearborn Christians" who are also Arab.
As I said earlier, Trump and Biden are equally bad when it comes to Netanyahu. But, Trump is at least promising to end the fighting and, as such, is a potentially better choice for those whose primary concern is ending the killing in the region.

Maybe it’s because their community is older and more established and I guess “blended” in rather than assimilated. Frankly, there is a lot of distrust between the Middle Eastern Christians and Muslims in SE MI. I do wonder how that plays out on the national politics scene.

None of us expect Republicans to care about Arab lives, but I think most of us expect Democrats to care. Not voting for Harris was a punishment for the Democratic Party to show that Arab voices matter.

Look at what happened a few years back from the book banning in libraries. Watch some of the hearings and you’ll want to wash your eyes out.
The Middle Eastern community of SE MI is not a monolith, though.
So, in other words, they would never support a woman as president.
As the previous poster said, the Middle Eastern community of SE Michigan is not a monolith. But, the community in Dearborn, which this thread is about, is fairly liberal. The current mayor is Abdullah Hammoud, who is of Shia Muslim Lebanese heritage. He is a progressive Democrat and a Bernie Sanders supporter. He supports LGBT rights and would have no problem voting for a woman. He refused to meet with Trump and would not endorse Harris. His issue with Harris is her support for the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, not her gender.
