Summary
Arab Americans for Trump, a key voter outreach group, has rebranded as Arab Americans for Peace following Trump’s comments about the U.S. “taking over” Gaza.
Chairman Bishara Bahbah stated the group opposes any forced relocation of Palestinians and wants to emphasize peace.
The group played a major role in Trump’s 2024 election outreach, particularly in swing states like Michigan and Arizona.
While they appreciate Trump’s commitment to rebuilding Gaza, they reject the idea of U.S. control over the territory and its inhabitants.
That’s the equivalent of them being thankful for Israeli “investment” in building settlements after killing or displacing Palestinians and stealing their land. How anyone, let alone Arab Americans, could see it any other way, is far beyond me.
