Democrats’ divisions on Israel-Hamas war boil over in Michigan as Detroit-area Muslims feel betrayed

Many of Michigan’s top Democrats, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, took part in a huge pro-Israel rally at a suburban Detroit synagogue days after Hamas’ deadly attack on the country earlier this month, with some of them dancing and joining in chants of “Am Yisrael Chai” — Hebrew for “The people of Israel live.”

None of them attended a rally in nearby Dearborn the next day to show support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who were being killed or forced from their homes by the Israeli military’s response.

The war between Israel and Hamas has inflamed tensions between Jews and Muslims around the world, including the Detroit area, which is home to several heavily Jewish suburbs and Dearborn, the city with the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the U.S. The strong show of support for Israel by Michigan’s leading Democrats, though, has offended many of their Muslim supporters and could affect how this key bloc votes next fall in the presidential battleground state.

They feel 'betrayed' that some politicians want Israelis to live?

I hate both groups and so want to see this accelerate and overwhelm them with loss and suffering.

Yes. You know I thought about clarifying that. As the article said I mean the Dems and Hamas Arab cheerleaders in Dearborn and Hamtramck and elsewhere.

The Democrats have sold their soul, or at least the portion they haven’t sold already to other selected identity groups, to the Muslim devil. And now the bill is coming due.

Whitmer is a trained monkey, albeit psychopathic monkey, and she will dance for whoever’s got the most that will benefit her. And this week she sees liberal Jews as her best bet. If the wind changes so will she. And it is amazing that liberal American Jews believe that she really gives a damn about them. It is my personal belief that she is a psychopath and a political whore. And liberal American Jews are nothing but examples of Stockholm Syndrome as regards their faith in the Democratic Party.

Of course I assumed as much but FR has a few knee jerkers so it seemed prudent to disarm them.
