‘You lost this vote’: Arab Americans in Dearborn struggle in an election where they don’t feel heard (link, excerpt below)

That haunting reality weighs heavily on Fahs, now back home in Michigan, a key swing state that holds outsize weight in determining the next president, making every vote crucial. With Arab Americans making up a significant part of the state’s electorate, their support could be decisive. Fahs says he’s disaffected with both candidates — former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The way he sees it, it doesn’t matter who is in office — no candidate cares about Gaza or Arab life.

I'm confused; I thought whoever "Fahs" is, and for that matter anyone who votes in an American election is supposed to consider what's good for their adopted country, and not have one foot in Gaza, one in Dearborn. I may personally weigh what's good for Jews or Israel when I vote but it's hardly my only consideration. Why doesn't the article author point this out?

I thought these people came to the U.S. for something better, to avoid the pre-medieval barbarism of the Middle East. Are they here to better themselves or subvert their adopted homeland?

It's all good, the MI Muslims endorsed Trump this afternoon.

Michigan Muslim Leaders Endorse Trump at Michigan Rally

OK, I never expected this....I am without words at how amazing this is. Powerful endorsement. They can tolerate Christian whites more than gays and trannies apparently There are complicated levels to these things I guess. I hope Gretchen Whitmer is curled up in the fetal position sobbing...

No American politician wants dead Jews as much as he does.

That's a rather pointless and false remark.

Am I mistaken, or is Fahs not a muslim with palestinian sympathies?

I would so assume.
