First Gaza, now Lebanon: How support for Israel’s war is influencing Michigan voting

NPR  

First Gaza, now Lebanon: How support for Israel’s war is influencing Michigan voting toggle caption Rebecca Cook/Reuters DEARBORN, Mich. — This city, home to one of the largest Arab American communities in the country, is a city in deep mourning over two wars in the Middle East thousands of miles away. “I'm feeling a certain level of despair, and I'm also feeling the contradictions of that despair being so rooted in the policy of our government to send weapons and bombs to kill people I love.” Sponsor Message The unity that was so apparent in February among Arab Americans, young voters and other progressives in the Detroit metro area has fractured, and people are divided on how to express their objections to U.S. policy with their limited political power come Election Day. He demonized Palestinian toddlers, falsely claiming they are “taught to kill us at two years old.” toggle caption Elaine Cromie/for NPR Asked why, despite this rhetoric, she believes Trump’s promise to end the war, Luqman says he’s more likely to do so than Harris. Sponsor Message The Harris campaign told NPR she is “committed to earn every vote” and that she has been steadfast in her support for American Muslims “including ensuring that they can live free from the hateful policies of the Trump administration.” Some American Muslims view this as Harris making a real effort despite having to uphold Biden’s policies. Don't sink everybody.” Sponsor Message But with just days until the election and the war expanding, many Arab and Muslim American voters in this battleground state said they already feel like they’re sinking.
