“All they are trying to do is convince us that there is some kind of movement toward where we want,” Siblani said. “But it’s too slow and it’s dragging. It’s more death and casualties that are happening.”
The highest-profile example of the stonewalling came last week when a Palestinian American doctor walked out of a meeting with Biden. But interviews with Muslim and Arab American leaders reveal how that face-to-face protest was only the most conspicuous case of a fracture that has damaged crucial relationships and closed avenues needed to repair them.
But the situation presents a challenge for a president who believes in the political power of personal relationships and has prized his history of sitting down with opponents and critics. It could also jeopardize his reelection this year, with some Muslims warning they are unwilling to support Biden even it that risks returning Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, to the White House.
Salam Al-Marayati, who lives in Los Angeles and leads the Muslim Public Affairs Council, described the attitude as, “Forget them. They have to learn a lesson. And if they lose, that’s the lesson they should learn.”
Boringly supporting genocide wholeheartedly. By the way, sorry to break it to you, but once trump drops out of politics, we’ll just get the next bad guy of the week. It never ends.
Trump was an aggressive leap forward in shittyness. I suspect his departure from politics will drain a lot of the swamp.
I thought the same when bush jr left office. Imagine my surprise when democrats continued many of his terrible policies (corporate/bank bailouts without punishing those responsible, warmongering, the surveillance state, etc) while also trying to rehabilitate that war criminal’s image. Maybe trump won’t get his image rehabilitated, but many of his terrible policies will continue (and they have, like the border issue and trade war with China).
You know bush wasn’t a democrat, right?
That was the point of my post. Bush wasn’t a democrat and yet democrats continued many of his terrible policies.
Not the first regional point though, you are off topic stranger.
Your reading comprehension is terrible.
Says the guy that goes off topic and gets uppity when others do so back.
