Muslim Voters Who Helped Elect Trump Upset With ‘Pro-Israel’ and ‘Pro-War’ Cabinet Picks

Muslim voters who helped swing the election for President-elect Trump because of their anger over Israel’s offensive in Gaza have decried several of his cabinet choices as too “pro-war,” according to a report.

Some of Trump’s earliest cabinet have been pro-Israel die-hards, including: New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, who will become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has long been an outspoken supporter of Israel’s war against Hamas.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, another Zionist stalwart, will also become ambassador to Israel. “We are very disappointed,” Rexhinaldo Nazarko, executive director of the American Muslim Engagement and Empowerment Network (AMEEN), told Reuters. “It seems like this administration has been packed entirely with neoconservatives and extremely pro-Israel, pro-war people, which is a failure on the side of President Trump, to the pro-peace and anti-war movement.”

Oh well.

My thoughts exactly.

“It seems like this administration has been packed entirely with neoconservatives and extremely pro-Israel, pro-war people, which is a failure on the side of President Trump, to the pro-peace and anti-war movement.”

Please give him a chance. He worked to bring peace to the Middle East before, and he'll do it again. Even Iran wants to talk now.

LOL. Like they didn’t know that’s what they were getting with Trump.

[dowcaet]

Peace through strength!

Some Muslim voters (but not all arabs) who may have helped elect Trump may be temporarily upset with ‘pro-Israel’ and ‘pro-war’ cabinet picks

Now that we straightened it out a bit the reality is Arabs who may be muslim, want to tone down the extremists like Ilhan (effs her brother/husband) Ohmar... and get some help for both sides of Abrahams family... the arab and the israeli both... so that they can live in peace.

NOBODY cares about the 'brotherhood' and 'hamas' or 'hezbolla' whack jobs... as long as trump allows Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan to work together to take out their trash... no matter what any of them say in public...

Watch them all gang up to take out Iran and probably Turkey... after Turkey's erdohgan is removed from his Islamist parapet of power. Wait for it. It will probably happen in our lifetimes.

LOL

Who didn’t see this coming? :)

In the long run, the faster the war ends (with Israel’s total victory) the fewer people will die.

Multi year and decade conflicts take a lot more lives.

And maybe Trump can tell them they are being suckers for the rich arab states.

These are voters who will revert to voting Democrat in the mid-terms.

It's more than that. If they are really looking for someone who will be anti-Israel or cater to Muslims, they don't know they'd be better off with Democrats? Democrats have a problem, because they have to please a progressive group that is anti-Israel, but they have another base that is pro-Israel. Republicans don't have a significant anti-Israel base.

But the Muslim vote has swung like this before. They voted 84% for Bush in 2000, because they were mad at Clinton. But, even without 9/11, did they expect Bush would be more to their liking than Clinton? Needless to say, I don't know their percentage, but they swung dramatically for Kerry in 2004. They may never get what they want from either party.

But there is anther issue: some Muslims were angry about the Democrats social policy.

And no one on either side wants to admit it, but Obama, although not Israel friendly, was the most anti-Muslim president we have had. He would kill in innocent people just because they were Muslim.

Trump said he will end the war in Gaza by January. He told Muslim voters in Dearborn, MI that he will make sure of that.

[nickcarraway]

That’s not true, a lot more Muslims voted for Trump. No doubt it helped him in Michigan.

[Ex-Con777]

That is the rub. They don’t want an end to the war. They just want dead jooze.

EC

[cableguymn]

He’s not pro war. Pro Israel? Absolutely. Neither of these were a secret

[Nateman]

Rubio’s pick was an inspired act of genius. Not because I like Rubio or expect anything great from him, but because of the Vacancy he left in the Senate. If the RINO’S kill the Gaetz nomination then Governor DeSantis is going to send Gaetz to the Senate where he can get in their faces full time and work to change out their stinking leadership just like he did in the House.

You don’t think there is a real conservative, whoo knows how to operate in Florida?

"Trump voter" my ass.

It took 30 seconds of digging to discover that this dude is part of a Muslim voter outreach organization dedicated to stopping Trump.

"This election, Arab & Muslim communities have a historic chance to exert their power. But with fundamental democratic values at risk, supporting third-party candidates or "abandoning Harris" is a decision many will come to regret. Our vote must count against Trump. Trump has weaponized our identity, using "Palestinian" as a slur to dismiss critics, including those who question Israel's right to bulldoze towns & kill civilians. His return would usher in an era of unchecked Islamophobia and white nationalism."
