  1. @infobeautiful As a consolation prize for being #uncommitted during the #2024election , #ArabAmericans will receive a 10% discount when they book a holiday on the ‘Riviera’ of the #MiddleEast ‘coming soon’ - conditional on getting a visa from #Israel. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  2. "When #Trump announced his plan (I’m using the word generously) to occupy the #Gaza Strip and convert it into an international real-estate development, the chairman of #ArabAmericans for Trump, which formed to back him during the election, expressed shock and betrayal, and announced that the group would rename itself Arab Americans for Peace."

    "Don’t Scapegoat Arab Americans for Trump’s Win -
    Instead of blaming the people they let down, the Harris campaign needs to look in the mirror and find fault with itself."

  4. #ArabAmerican abandoned the black/female candidate calling for a two state solution and voted for the white male racist candidate that is best buddies with Netanyahu and wants them all deported. How's that racism and misogyny working for ya now, eh? #uspol #uspolitics #ArabAmericans apnews.com/live/donald-trump-n

  5. With many #muslims and #ArabAmericans realizing their support for #trump was in error, now is an opportunity for #socialists and other #leftists to do what #liberals failed to do.

    Rather than just assume "well who else would they vote for, the racist #republicans?," recognize that they hold the same #conservative values as your #fundamentalist uncle and that you will need to work on deconstructing those prejudices.

  6. Voice of America, for instance, reported that, “In historic shift, #Muslim and #ArabAmericans broke with two decades of #Democratic loyalty, splitting most of their votes between President-elect #DonaldTrump and third-party candidates.”

  7. "During the run-up to the election, the argument goes, we Palestinian and #ArabAmericans should have understood that resisting fascism in the United States is the primary goal and gotten in line accordingly.

    "But resisting fascism is our collective goal. We just know that in order to resist it, we have to fight it on two fronts of #USstateViolence: at home and abroad." - #NouraErakat

  8. It's not like they weren't warned about what would happen.

    "The chairman of a coalition which successfully lobbied Arab-Americans to vote for Donald Trump has slammed the new president for his weekend comments on Gaza."

    Typical BS to hide the colossal failure of democrats in 4 years of the zombie president and his fascist pleaser VP.

    It's Al Gore story all over again, but this time they hide the fact that it was the Israel and AIPAC that won in every aspect of the US election and no one dares to mention.

    But hey, keep blaming the Muslims and the Arabs.

  10. "In the months before the election, some believed that most #ArabAmericans, despite their fury at #Biden and their disappointment with #Harris’s inability or unwillingness to distinguish herself in the #MiddleEast, would eventually come home and vote for her anyway. This has been proven resoundingly false."

    House #GOP Moves to Ram Through Bill That Gives #Trump Unilateral Power to Kill #Nonprofits

    Dozens of #Democrats still support the bill — giving the Republican-controlled House plenty of breathing room to pass it next week.

    Noah Hurowitz
    November 15 2024

    "A controversial '#nonprofit killer' bill is back on track after it was blocked earlier this week.

    "A majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives rejected the bill on Tuesday out of fear that it could grant President-Elect Donald Trump legal tools with which to target his ideological foes, but Republicans are swiftly pressing ahead.

    "The #StopTerrorFinancing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, which would empower the secretary of the Treasury to designate any #nonprofit as a '#terrorist supporting organization' and revoke its tax-exempt status, is set to go before the Committee on Rules on Monday for a hearing that could tee up the bill for a new floor vote.

    "The hearing was announced Thursday evening, just two days after 144 Democrats and one Republican voted against the bill as part of a fast-track parliamentary procedure that required a two-thirds majority.

    "The bill, also known as #HR9495, has come under withering criticism from a broad coalition of organizations that say its sponsors are pushing it as a means of cracking down on free speech — particularly speech in support of #Palestine. In a joint statement earlier this week, a coalition of #ArabAmerican and #MuslimOrganizations pledged to continue to fight the bill.

    "'This bill was designed to #criminalize organizations and #activists who oppose the U.S.’s unconditional support of #Israel’s #genocide of Palestinians and the slaughter of #Lebanese civilians,' read the statement, which was signed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, American Muslims for Palestine, and others. 'We will continue to stand firm in protecting all organizations’ freedom to speak and operate without fear of political retribution.'

    "Offices for the chair and ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, through which the bill must pass, did not respond to requests for comment.

    "With #ProIsrael groups lobbying for the bill, it gained popularity among House Democrats, in part due to a provision providing tax relief to Americans held hostage abroad.

    "The reelection of Trump, however, galvanized opponents, including Rep. #LloydDoggett, D-Texas, who led the charge to reject the bill on Tuesday. Doggett doubled down on Thursday after learning of the newly scheduled Rules Committee hearing.

    "'In this mislabeled bill, House Republicans are hiding behind hostages,' Doggett said in a statement to The Intercept. 'Their rush to reconsider this bill is solely to offer Trump more and more power, while Trump’s nominees for key #NationalSecurity posts this week indicate how he will be using it.'"

  13. "Arab and #MuslimAmericans in the state of Michigan are grappling with a critical choice this election. Nearly 400,000 #ArabAmericans in the state were instrumental in delivering #Michigan to elect Joe #Biden in 2020. This time, however, many feel betrayed by his administration’s support for Israel’s wars in #Gaza and #Lebanon."

  14. [05:25] Harris makes appeals as Trump embraces violent rhetoric

    Democrat Kamala Harris made her closing pitch for the US presidency at a historically Black church and to Arab Americans in battleground Michigan, while her Republican rival Donald Trump embraced violent rhetoric at a rally in Pennsylvania.

    It would be utterly insane to help Trump, given how hostile he is towards Palestinians.

    But even that aside, the man is a criminal and a fascist.
