Biden's 2024 bid at risk: Arab, Muslim-Americans upset over Israel support

Arab and Muslim Americans, along with their allies, are unhappy with President Joe Biden's response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. They want him to do more to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Many are concerned because he hasn't called for a ceasefire, even as Palestinians are killed while trying to escape the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.

This frustration could affect President Biden's chances of getting re-elected in 2024. In states like Michigan, where Arab Americans make up 5% of the vote, their support could be crucial. Arab Americans are also a significant portion of the vote in battleground states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.

While President Biden condemned the attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians, many Arab Americans feel that Israel's response is too harsh. They are questioning his promise of a "human rights-centered" foreign policy because he hasn't condemned the Israeli bombardment.


Some Arab American activists are urging Muslim Americans to link their political donations to changes in policies. They want President Biden to push Israel to temporarily halt its attacks on Gaza, which have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians.

The White House has responded to these criticisms by highlighting efforts to provide aid to Gaza and expressing a commitment to address the situation. However, tensions persist, and some within the administration are concerned about the impact of these policies on their families and the broader region.
