While taking in what had happened from her Detroit-area home, she saw a photo of a child maimed by the violence \u2014 a girl who seemed to be nearly the same age as her daughter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI immediately prayed in prostration to God to end this madness,\u201d she said. \u201cSo many in my community feel abandoned and let down. The human rights organizations have let them down. The politicians have let them down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhere do we turn?\u201d she wondered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Mahbuba\u2019s reaction highlighted the anger, anxiety and betrayal felt by many Arab Americans in the Detroit suburbs in the wake of President Trump\u2019s first months in office, and particularly after the latest round of Israeli missile strikes on Gaza on what Israel said were Hamas targets. In nearly two dozen interviews across the region over the last three weeks, a common theme emerged: a sense among Arab Americans that their political concerns, especially about Gaza, have been largely shunted aside by both major political parties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In this flat pocket of southeastern Michigan near the Canadian border, the Arab and Muslim presence dates back over a century. It is now among the most concentrated and influential of its kind in the nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many Arab Americans here were angered by the Biden administration\u2019s actions during the war in Gaza. That played out in November: majority Arab American voting districts in the area, which had long supported Democratic presidential candidates, shifted significantly toward Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While it was a small part of the statewide wave favoring Mr. Trump, the overall Arab American shift was significant. Consider Dearborn, home to the Ford Motor Company, where about half of the roughly 110,000 residents are of Arab descent. Mr. Trump beat out Kamala Harris by over 2,500 votes, becoming the first Republican to win the city since George W. Bush in 2000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, who pushed for an end to hostilities in Gaza, received about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/dearborn.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-11\/UNOFFICIAL%20Results_Nov%205%202024%20Presidential%20Election%20-%20ALL%20-%20ELECTION%20DAY_City%20of%20Dearborn.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">18 percent<\/a> of the Dearborn vote, higher than anywhere else in Michigan. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This week\u2019s Israeli bombings \u2014 which shattered a roughly two-month cease-fire and reportedly killed more than 400 Gazans, many of them women and children \u2014 sent a chill not only to detractors of Mr. Trump but also to some of his fiercest Arab supporters in the Detroit area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His foreign policy seems wildly unpopular, and those who endorsed Mr. Trump find themselves under an uncomfortable microscope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019m receiving a lot of hate mail,\u201d said one supporter, Faye Nemer, head of the local Middle Eastern and North African Chamber of Commerce. She still supports Mr. Trump\u2019s domestic policies, but is aghast at his handling of the Middle East \u2014 and smarting from the backlash she and other Trump supporters are receiving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAnyone who demonstrated any support for President Trump,\u201d she said, \u201cis completely ostracized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump and his fellow Republicans spent much of last year courting Michigan\u2019s roughly 300,000 citizens of Middle Eastern and North African descent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Months before the presidential election, Michael Flynn, a retired lieutenant general and former Trump adviser who had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/11\/18\/us\/politics\/michael-flynn-national-security-adviser-donald-trump.html\" title=\"\">denigrated<\/a> Islam, showed up to forge new connections with local leaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He found many who were willing to give him a chance. And just days before the election, Mr. Trump was feted at the Great Commoner, a brick-clad corner cafe and restaurant in the heart of Dearborn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The event caused a stir. Dearborn\u2019s mayor, Abdullah Hammoud, and one of the area\u2019s most prominent religious leaders, Imam Hassan Qazwini, steered clear of the occasion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Ms. Nemer stood at Mr. Trump\u2019s side, as did other notable local Arab Americans, including the mayor of Hamtramck, Mich., <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/26\/us\/hamtramck-michigan-ghalib-trump.html\" title=\"\">Amer Ghalib<\/a>. Mr. Trump reiterated a vow that he would bring an end to the bloodshed in Gaza and the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump recently nominated Mr. Ghalib to be ambassador to Kuwait. The mayor of Dearborn Heights, Bill Bazzi, who also endorsed Mr. Trump, was named to be ambassador to Tunisia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Sam Fawaz, a staunch Trump supporter, was among the attendees at the Dearborn event. Even after the conflict resumed this week, he said he was taking the long view and sticking by the president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI fully understand why a lot of people would be disappointed, angry and feeling betrayed,\u201d he said. But the president \u201cknows his entire legacy will be shattered if the Middle East blows up even further and we get engaged in another war,\u201d he added. \u201cSo I give him some slack and say, \u2018Let\u2019s wait and see what comes out of this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other Detroit Arabs are not as patient. While many congregants at the Islamic Institute of America mosque in Dearborn Heights voiced no nostalgia for the Biden administration, Mr. Trump, they said, has added new layers of worry about tariffs and deportations, the targeting of pro-Palestinian protesters and recent American missile strikes on Yemen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are totally fed up,\u201d said Mo Baydoun, chairman of the nonpartisan Dearborn Heights City Council, as he met with friends at a hookah shop near his home. \u201cAnd by that, I mean we are fed up with all sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He and his friends listed some of the offenders: Democrats. Republicans. Trump supporters. The media. Critics of the Arab community, which they say has been unfairly blamed for Mr. Trump\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s like nobody is really listening to us as our people are being killed,\u201d Mr. Baydoun said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A loud chorus of agreement from his friends followed. They had their reasons: Mr. Baydoun\u2019s cousin and her family had been killed by a 2024 Israeli airstrike in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They noted that Mr. Trump had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/26\/world\/middleeast\/trump-gaza-ai-video.html\" title=\"\">shared<\/a> a cartoonish, A.I.-rendered video of Gaza reimagined as an opulent, Trump-branded tourist resort, in keeping with his proposal that America take over the seaside stretch of land. The plan would permanently displace many, if not all, of Gaza\u2019s current residents, an unthinkable notion to most Palestinians, whose forced displacement from the land that became Israel is known to Arabs as the Nakba, or \u201ccatastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Baydoun and his friends mocked the clip. \u201cThis is the president of the United States we\u2019re talking about, putting out something like this!\u201d one of them said. \u201cThe president of the United States!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then they briefly paused, their faces looking doleful and chagrined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Late last week, despite it being the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when conversations turned to politics, the mood in Dearborn and other Arab enclaves felt even more dour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mahmoud Khalil, an immigrant of Palestinian descent who led student protests of Israel at Columbia University, was put in federal detention on March 8. His seizure led to a spreading worry that even green card holders could be deported \u2014 and it tamped down free discussion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At Wayne State University in Detroit, student after student refused to speak about the current atmosphere. There was too much fear in the air, several of them explained. It felt safer to keep quiet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One student willing to comment was Izhan Ibadat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ibadat, 19, voted for Mr. Trump, partly because he believed the president would help stop war in the Middle East and \u201cthat there would not be any more killings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But disappointed by Mr. Trump\u2019s foreign policy and his seemingly haphazard approach to domestic affairs, Mr. Ibadat said he would approach the ballot box differently today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAfter all these things going on,\u201d he said, \u201chonestly, I would probably vote undecided.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/20\/us\/trump-arab-americans-gaza-israel.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Haneen Mahbuba saw the news of the deadly Israeli missile strikes on Gaza this week, she found herself so<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[4559,4562,4560,4561,114,113,111],"class_list":["post-14395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-arab-americans","tag-dearborn-mich","tag-dearborn-heights-mich","tag-detroit-mich","tag-donald-j","tag-trump","tag-united-states-politics-and-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trump Won Over Many Arab Americans in November.
