So just how important is Dearborn? How important is Michigan? Michigan is a swing state. So it's very important, as it can play a role in determining who gets elected president in November. President Biden has been supportive of Israel with supplying necessary armaments. However, the people in Michigan, Arabs, are threatening to withhold their votes from Biden if he doesn't change course on his support for Israel.
Therefore, Biden sent top advisers to Michigan to meet with the Arab community. Here is the first paragraph of an article in the 2/13/24 Ventura County Star, about the Biden advisers going to Michigan: "Senior advisers to President Joe Biden admitted 'mistakes' and apologized privately to Arab Americans in Michigan for the way the administration has handled the war in Gaza and for how it has spoken publicly about Palestinians during the deadly conflict with Israel."
Apologized? For supporting our main ally in the Middle East? For supporting one of our main allies in the world? For having to fight a terrorist organization that has publicly announced their desire to kill all the Jews? What the hell is there to apologize for? Oh, that's right. Michigan is a swing state. Michigan also has, by far, a larger Arab population than any other state, with over 211,000 Arabs. So, rather than tell the truth, rather than say that Hamas needs to be eradicated, let's pander to the large Arab population.
Here's what Dearborn Mayor Hammoud had to say, after accusing Israel of genocide: "We remained uncompromising in our values and our demands for a permanent ceasefire, ending unrestricted military support to the State of Israel, and expediting humanitarian aid and funding to UNRWA." I do not know what, if anything, Hammoud had to say about the hostages or Hamas. Funding to UNRWA? It's already been reported that some UNRWA workers participated in the October 7 atrocities.
But the entire organization is no good, supporting Hamas in every way. UNRWA provides textbooks to children in Gaza which show the entire area to be "Palestine." There is no Israel. They actually encourage children to be martyrs. That is why President Trump cut funding to UNRWA. Biden, of course, restored the funding, undoing all of Trump's good policies. Only recently, after October 7, and after it was discovered that some UNRWA employees participated in the attack, did Biden cut funding. Before that, Biden had provided hundreds of millions of dollars to the terrorist supporting UNRWA.
A permanent ceasefire? That would allow Hamas to remain in power. Did Mayor Hammoud express any concern over the fact that Hamas leaders have vowed to repeat the atrocities of October 7 over and over and over again? Hamas must not be allowed to remain in power. Israel knows that. The people in southern Israel who suffered the terrible atrocities understand now that the people -Arabs- they were nice to, were friendly with, are the same people who murdered their families and friends.
Recently, President Biden met with Jordanian King Abdullah II at the White House. An article in the 2/13/24 Los Angeles Times, quotes the King as saying "We need a lasting ceasefire now...This war must end." And, the King said this: "separation of the West Bank and Gaza cannot be accepted." The only way for that to happen is that Israel gets separated into two parts. I guess that is acceptable. And a ceasefire now means that Hamas gets to stay in power. Definitely unacceptable.
And who gives a damn what the King thinks? Jordan had total control of the area known as the West Bank, from 1948 until the Six Day War in 1967. During those two decades, did Jordan create a separate Palestinian state? No, they did not. After the war, when Israel gained control of the West Bank and the Sinai, did Jordan even care about getting the West Bank back, the way Egypt wanted the Sinai back? No, they did not. So why does Jordan even get to have any say?
Meanwhile, JNS (Jewish News Syndicate) reported on 2/15/24, that "The Biden administration is preparing to make a major push for Palestinian statehood if a Gaza ceasefire agreement being negotiated in Cairo this week takes effect." How coincidental. Just when Israel is preparing an assault on Rafah, usually referred to as the last Hamas stronghold in Gaza. If the story about the push for a Palestinian state is true, it shows once again the weakness of the Biden administration in dealing with our enemies through appeasement, rather than with a demonstration of strength.
Imagine giving recognition of a Palestinian state so soon after the October 7 atrocities, with Hamas still in power. Pressure from Arab countries. Pressure from Arabs in America. This is when I miss President Trump.
