@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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

#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 https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-2-10-2025

"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

Arab Americans, Ignore the Haters: Rejecting #KamalaHarris was the Right Thing to Do

#ArabAmericans are facing vicious pushback for refusing to abandon #Palestine, but people interested in a better world should follow our lead instead of mourning the neoliberal order.

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.

"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.'"

"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."
