Summary

Arab Americans who supported Trump in battleground states like Michigan express concerns over his key appointments, particularly pro-Israel figures like Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio, and Elise Stefanik, who oppose a two-state solution and back Israel’s actions in Gaza.

While some voters hoped Trump would prioritize peace in the Middle East, his picks have fueled unease about his administration’s direction.

Outreach leaders like Massad Boulos, who engaged Arab American communities during Trump’s campaign, have yet to secure roles, leaving some supporters questioning their expectations of Trump’s policies.

      That’s what I said and got banned. Poor bastards can’t accept their stupidity. This is from the Palestine forum since they were complaining about Trump’s new pick. Lol.

        It’s true that Steven Miller came up with the first ban. The same Steven Miller who has been announced as part of the Trump 2.0 administration. It happened before, you have to be a little crazy to think it wouldn’t happen again.

    I hope this topic for which numerous articles have been written won’t have the knock on effect of a whole population of people being dragged and demonized in public. Certainly has that vibe to me.

      Pretty much my attitude. A lot of us warned what would happen. Then the Us gave the house , the senate, the office of the president, and by extension the Supreme Court and a number of federal judges to the republicans. Plus a number of state congressional seats to the republicans.

      Reap what you sow.

      Trump’s plan for Ukraine is to give Putin everything he wants, and for Gaza and the West Bank it’s to give Netanyahu everything he wants. That’s what Trump has always meant when he says he can bring peace.

    People kept saying, right up to the election, “don’t vote for Harris because she supports genocide.”

    Those people got what they wanted and yet they’re suddenly very unhappy about it. Interesting, isn’t it?

        My favorite ones were the ones who said to vote third party and when you asked them which candidate, they would say it didn’t matter.

        Because that’s how elections are won.

    “I never thought the Leopards would eat MY face! Even though they specifically said they would and campaigned on eating all faces, I didn’t really think that they would be so focused on eating faces, especially not mine!”

    German jews who voted for Hitler got concerned soon after the elections too. Many ethnic Germans too, but all they had to do was say “ich hab es nicht gewust” afterwards. The second World War has been so well documented. Yet many still haven’t learned anything from history.

    I don’t wish any negative effects to all the people in Gaza and the West Bank. I do, however, wish that the people who voted for Trump have to experience the kind of pain that the people in Gaza and the West Bank will experience under Trump. All these fuckers are safe over here and won’t have to endure the kind of torture that voting in Trump will bring.

    They protest voted against Harris because she personally wasn’t stopping a war she had no power to stop, with the only alternative being the guy who will accelerate that war. They deserve everything that comes to them while I laugh in their fucking faces (at the same time crying actual tears for the victims of their betrayal over in Gaza).

      If the left can organize to transform this disappointment into actual resistance, that will be worth something. Right now I think mass civil disobedience is the only thing that can really slow down the implementation of fascism, but it needs to be organized and we don’t yet see anyone stepping up to organize real resistance.
