Put simply, it was not Dearborn, Michigan, that brought down Kamala Harris. Yes, the Arab-majority suburbs of Democrat-blue Detroit went Republican red on Tuesday, with voters overwhelmingly choosing Donald Trump over the vice president. The Democrats were handily defeated - a result that many Arab-Americans were not disappointed by, given they feel the party abandoned them over the past year.  

When Arab Americans for Trump sent out a notice on Friday about the location of the movement's watch party on election night in Dearborn, Michigan, which is known as the Arab capital of America, it was slated for the popular Yemeni-American coffee house, Haraz - a place that is also steps away from the Arab-American National Museum. Less than 24 hours later, AAFT, as the group refers to itself, changed the location of the Tuesday night event.

Hours after Iran launched 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday, the Biden administration deemed the action “ineffective” and vowed that there would be consequences, despite a continued insistence on avoiding a wider regional war. But by continuing to lend Israel its full-throated support over the past year both in Gaza and Lebanon, where tens of thousands of people have been killed - and by backing the crippling of Hezbollah’s leadership structure - the US has inadvertently provoked Iran.

The endorsement of Donald Trump by a Muslim, Yemeni-American mayor of a small Michigan town could shake up the presidential race in a swing state that may determine the outcome of the election.

Amer Ghalib, the mayor of Hamtramck - a city just minutes outside of Detroit that boasts a population of some 30,000 people, most of whom are Muslims - announced he is backing the former president in a Facebook post.

The emotions can quickly go from rage to resentment, to guilt and then back again - and they haven’t let up.

This is what's being referred to as a cycle of collective grief. Since Israel's yearlong war on enclave, and its bombing of West Bank and Lebanon, many are actively dissociating to cope.

A suspiciously credible-looking sign citing a “future internment camp” and bearing President Donald Trump’s signature and official seal went up around undeveloped areas in nine cities across the US.

They even contained the number of an executive order, albeit one signed by President Franklin Roosevelt to round up Japanese-Americans.

Demonstrators sat cross-legged, linked arms and held up their hands clad in red gloves, while wearing masks made with cutouts of Netanyahu’s face. “Stop using our tax money to bomb Palestinians,” one of them shouted, while a hundred or so protesters huddled on the front steps chanted, “Stop the killing, stop the hate.”

The leader of one of the poorest countries in the world told a packed Newsmaker event Thursday evening at the National Press Club that greater investment by the U.S. private sector and government cooperation on projects can “show that Africa and America are working together.”
