I was pretty astounded to learn a significant number of Muslims voted for the guy who clearly did not want Muslims entering the county last time around, because they were told Democrats were continuing to arm Israel and thus supported Israel. Which is somewhat true, but because everyone thinks in black and white terms, they decided to believe that “Trump wants to make peace” meant he was going to get everyone to stand down, when the reality is that Trump doesn’t give a shit about Palestinians any more than he ever did, and peace to him means getting rid of the Muslims and turning Gaza into a resort for Israelis.

The stories were mainly about Arab-Americans, a narrow majority of whom are Christian (Maronite, Orthodox and Coptic). And the majority of Muslim-Americans have little to no connection or solidarity with the Palestinians.
But the press is too lazy to pick up on these nuances, just as it never reports on the Israelis’ relentless attacks on Palestinian Christians. The media narrative is Israelis versus Muslims, and that’s all you hear about.
