However, Bahbah is now in Arizona, another battleground state, drumming up support for Trump, the candidate he believes will finally put an end to Israel's war on Gaza. The activist recently sat down withDr. Bishara Bahbah So this was a trigger point as far as I'm concerned. Then I've gotten into communication with the senior level of the Trump team. There's a distinction here between the Trump team and the campaign. I am not talking about the campaign. The campaign runs in a different parallel mode.
And there was an Arab American and a Palestinian American, a lightweight challenger in the Bilal Muhammad. And Ali Abdelaziz, who is an Egyptian American, and he's the manager of the top 150 fighters in the UFC. So we're not really getting Muslims. We're getting Christian Americans, Arab-Americans to hop on the bandwagon and support Trump.
And then Michael Boulos, who was sitting next to me at the meeting, told me that the whole issue was grossly misunderstood about the Muslim ban. And we did hear clarifications. Some people raised important issues as they should have in a meeting like this one. But I felt that the openness and receptivity of the Trump team was quite significant.
That has not happened. Biden promised that he would reopen the US consulate in East Jerusalem. That has not happened. So Blinken, Biden and all that group are really doubling down on their genocidal support of Israel. And whether they stop the export of 2,000 bombs is irrelevant because it takes a bullet to kill a person. It takes a tank shell to kill a person. So what is the difference?
So are we going to sit and watch? I'm not going to. I'm not going to pin my hopes on them to do anything. So I'm going for Trump all the way through because I want to see an end to that conflict. I want to see a resolution that would be satisfactory to both the Palestinians and Israelis based on a two-state solution.
This is the first time in US history where Arab American votes are going to decide who the president of the United States is going to be. This is the first time in US history that our votes will count more than any money coming into any campaign on either side. You know, they can pour as much money as they want in Michigan.
Yes, I have friends of mine who literally attacked me on Facebook and other outlets for having my position. But you know what? I don't see any other option. And voting for the third party candidate, that's a wasted vote and they're not going to be elected in the foreseeable future in the US.Supporters of the campaign to vote "Uncommitted" hold a rally ahead of Michigan's Democratic presidential primary election in Hamtramck, Michigan, U.S. February 25, 2024 .
