Trump receives endorsements from Muslim, Arab leaders at Michigan rally

(The Center Square) – Some Arab- and Muslin-American leaders endorsed Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally Saturday in Novi, Michigan.

Other sources:

Saturday’s rally occurred less than 24 hours after Israel struck Iran with strategically targeted missiles the night before. The ongoing turmoil in the Middle East was among the reasons the Muslim and Arab leaders cited in their endorsement of the former president.

“We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine,” Alzuhairi said. “The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen.”

      “We will put conditions on weapons sales to Israel” isn’t that complex, but centrists all reject it for exactly one reason.

          The reason is that centrists support genocide. It’s the only policy they don’t abandon when they encounter pressure.

            I haven’t heard centrists support genocide. It’s however considered questionable if what’s happening can be considered a genocide. To many this is an awful war in a dense urban environment against deeply entrenched terrorists.

            I don’t think there has ever been a genocide that the victims could end by freeing the hostages they hold captive.

              Genocide apologia is disgusting and you should stop. 14 pages of dead Palestinian infants aren’t “terrorists.”

                Civilians die in every war and of course that’s terrible.

                The best numbers currently available are 40k dead total from which 15k are combatants. That’s less than 3 civilians per combatant. Urban warfare is historically much worse.

                I don’t think the available information proves the war in Gaza is a genocide. It should stop regardless.

      Saying that she support Gaza and will support them is an easy answer?

      Be honest here, she choose the easy safe answer:

      “Let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself,” she said tonight. She said that Israelis should “never again” go through the horror and “unspeakable” attacks of Oct. 7.

      “At the same time what has happened in Gaza in the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking,” she said.

      She gave the easy answer: support for Israel; thoughts and prayers for Palestine.
