Summary

Arab Americans for Trump, a key voter outreach group, has rebranded as Arab Americans for Peace following Trump’s comments about the U.S. “taking over” Gaza.

Chairman Bishara Bahbah stated the group opposes any forced relocation of Palestinians and wants to emphasize peace.

The group played a major role in Trump’s 2024 election outreach, particularly in swing states like Michigan and Arizona.

While they appreciate Trump’s commitment to rebuilding Gaza, they reject the idea of U.S. control over the territory and its inhabitants.

    We’ve reached the point in their grift where they have to pretend that they’ve found their line and pretend they never supported him while slowly building up their next project to do the same thing again in the next “election”

    Is it just me or does anybody else feel like watching a lot of serious sounding - and unfortunately dangerous - adults behaving like severely mentally challenged children all the time?

    And I mean like everywhere. It’s like the whole of society is essentially a lot of dimwits, from the White House to the streets of Bumfuck, Nowhere.

    I guess Idiocracy really has become the reality now…

      Except in idiocracy, we had a president that genuinely wanted to improve people’s lives. And I’ll take Camacho over Trump in regards to the conomy every day of the week.

      Maybe COVID was actually doing brain damage all this time to the entire human population, even those that had no severe symptoms. Now we’re all too stupid to be able to tell that everyone else is as well.

      Results of the rights constant attack on education.

      Knowledge is power, and that scares the crap out of Republicans…

        But in this instance, it’s not about knowledge or education: a bunch of pro-something people vote for the guy who’s obviously, overtly, loudly anti-the-same-thing, and then when the latter does stupid anti-that-thing, the former turn around and say oh-not-cool!

        This is just dumb all around. It doesn’t education to not be this dumb, it just takes, well, not being fucking dumb.

          Critical thinking and decision making is part of education, or at least it can and should be. Education is not only math, grammar and historical dates.

        All of the people who are so fucking happy that the Muslims they hate are suffering are the libs who have been actively supporting this.

      You have to listen to what he means, not what he says. It’s all in his book, Der Deal der Kunst.

      The leopards aren’t on them yet really. They still support Trump. The article says as much by omission.

          I noticed that too. Do they think he’ll rebuild Gaza nicely and just hand it back with no strings attached…?

          That’s the equivalent of them being thankful for Israeli “investment” in building settlements after killing or displacing Palestinians and stealing their land. How anyone, let alone Arab Americans, could see it any other way, is far beyond me.
