I’m the Mayor of Dearborn, Mich., and My City Feels Betrayed

I don't understand you.

You say you care about "genocide" but then you refuse to admit the obstacles to ending it.

You focusing on guilt-by-association which isn't going to lead to a single Israeli soldier leaving Gaza.

The US withholding weapons from Israel is not going to end the war.

The war only ends when Netanyahu and Hamas are gone.

Anyone advocating for anything else is just interested in prolonging the war to virtue signal.

It doesn't sound to me like you want to end the "genocide" in Gaza because you don't want to admit that Netanyahu and Hamas are the problem.
 
With every American-made bomb that Israel’s right-wing government drops on Gaza, a stark numbness coats everything, restricting any space for belief to grow.

Four days after our meeting in Dearborn, the United States government watched as Israel, which had corralled innocent Palestinian civilians into Rafah, one of the last safe havens in Gaza, besieged the city overnight, killing dozens in what experts believe could amount to an egregious war crime.

I, like many of my fellow Americans, cannot in good conscience support the continuation of a genocide. This has weighed heavy on my heart, particularly as the presidential primary election in Michigan has drawn near.

The slaughter of Israelis and Palestinians only ends when Netanyahu and Hamas are gone; withholding weapons from Israel or withholding aid from UNWRA will not result in either.

The focus should be split between Netanyahu's impeachment and the destruction of Hamas' leadership in Qatar and the UAE.

Those are the obstacles to peace, to ending the slaughter, and to the two-state solution.

There will not be peace as long as the US gives the weapons of mass destruction to Israel.

Even if the US stops, there still won't be peace because Netanyahu's and Hamas' existence depends on no peace.

Peace would mean the end of Hamas and the end of Netanyahu, so that's why both are keeping the war going.

Biden did no such thing, Do you say the same about Trump? https://cufi.org/issue/trump-spendi...st easy: The,House sent to Congress yesterday.
America has been supporting Israel's military for over 50 yrs.

The thing is that he's in a Blue state where Democrats have legislated a safety net for him; abortion rights were expanded, voting rights strengthened, gun control, police reform...all done by Democrats since 2020.

So because he's insulated, his rights are no longer under direct threat from a Trump regime...so he has the privilege now to give a shit about people half a world away because there's nothing that's affecting him personally to be outraged.

Biden literally did such a thing. Even some Democratic Congressmen objected to Biden's obsession with getting weapons to Israel.

So...what is your goal here? To tank the election for Biden to teach him a lesson?

The only people you're punishing by withholding your vote from Biden are all the Blue voters in Red states.

I promise you Joe Biden and the DNC will never feel any of the punishment you want to inflict.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news for these folks, but regardless of how the Arab- and Muslim-Americans vote in MI, Biden is going to carry the state.

I know this to be true because Whitmer absolutely PUMMELED her GOP opponent by a margin larger than the share of the Arab vote in the state.

These people are overplaying their hand and it's going to bite them in the ass politically when Biden wins and then does nothing for the community that didn't show up for him.
