Michigan’s Top Arab Elected Leader Says White House Never Reached Out About Gaza
Recent social media posts by state Rep. Abraham Aiyash highlight the Arab community's frustrations with the Biden campaign in the swing state.
You're viewing a single thread.
“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).”
"I am the highest ranking Arab and Muslim in Michigan" is definitely more funny than they probably intended it to be.
Yeah, sure, it's so funny to be Muslim in Michigan, everybody knows there are no Muslims in the midwest, what's that silly guy doing there? /s
Relax, you'll live longer
In this economy?
Give me a second, I'm just trying to imagine what it must be like to have so little sense of humor that you not only don't recognize the funny part of the quote, but actually get pissy about it.
I'm normally pretty meh about Biden but I kind of appreciate that he did the bare minimum and wasn't a racist here.
Terrorism includes violence or threat of violence directed at civilians
There's not just a single definition of the word, and not just a single correct one. Why don't you give us your definition that not many people seem to agree with?
Sure why don't you? I can't keep track of everything going on in your world, only reliably just the specific context where we are engaging.
Okay. So where do you read this guy has threatened to use violence to create fear?
the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. Source
You imply violence by saying terrorism. That's why people are saying that it isn't terrorism.
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.
