Michigan’s Top Arab Elected Leader Says White House Never Reached Out About Gaza
“I highlight this for several reasons: Michigan has a significant Arab and Muslim community. Michigan is a critical state this November,” he continued in another post. “I am the highest ranking Arab and Muslim state elected in Michigan, and the lack of outreach only suggests there isn’t a legitimate concern or respect for our communities here in Michigan (and broadly across the US).”
The issue now is that Biden wants their votes. And to get their votes he needs to do something about Gaza, which he isn't.
Because people otherwise would shout "We can't trust Hamas officials!" and thus you have to talk to someone who is obviously not Hamas.
What the hell do the local groups want? It's not like they are a federal authority or group. Bring it up with the Michigan leadership.
... state Rep. Abraham Aiyash (D) said that he has received “ZERO correspondence” since Oct. 7 from the White House, the Democratic National Committee or the Michigan Democratic Party leadership about the community’s concerns regarding U.S. involvement in the “ongoing genocide unfolding in Gaza.”

I wasn't included! It's not fair! I demand a juice box! Fruit Punch flavor!
Any way you look at this you should shut the fuck up.
The Biden admin was already in a tough spot with voters before they supported Israel. Now they have sealed the deal and have no chance of winning. We will slip farther into fascism because of genocide Joe.
Obvious concern trolling. Try harder.
What exactly was this representative looking for? What are they going to bring to the table that merits the White House bringing them in to consult on the Middle East? Huffpost laid out what their grievance was, and it seems like it's just because they are the leader of the House of Representatives in Michigan.
Biden is standing by our allies and not throwing them under the bus in a time of need, he made the right call. If he loses due to this demographic it's because young Arabic Americans are evidently more sympathetic to Hamas and Palestine than the Jews they are trying to genocide. America does not throw its allies under the bus because it's popular or expedient short term. At least I hope we never become like that.
