“And if Trump wins because of their work, “the big gift that would come out of punishing the president is that an entire party … becomes a pro-Palestinian party”
these people are completely nuts if they really believe this ...
I think they are correct. If they punish the Dems, the party will become all-out pro-Palestinian. They are only one generation away from being so. Only the oldest Dems in their 70s and 80s are still pro-Israel. The young energy in the Dem party is 80% for Palestine.
1) These are Muslims, not Palestinians, though they will support Palestinians — mostly because most Muslims in the US, particularly Dearborn, MI, are Sunni.
2) Muslims for whatever reason are over-represented in med schools and as physicians at hospitals. Not PAs and Nurse Practitioners. MDs. In that context, major contributors to Michigan society.
3) Only those naturalized or born in the US can vote. Their birthrate is spectacularly high and is why their voting numbers can outright decide Michigan. (Note that Muslims are 20% of Israel’s population, and growing. Muslims. Not Arabs. Muslims.)
4) They don’t have to vote for Trump to get him elected. They merely have to subtract their numbers from Biden.
5) FYI the largest Muslim country in the world is not in the Middle East. It is Indonesia.
