Muslims and Arabs tend to vote Democrat. I happen to think it is because they are both political religions with totalitarian aspirations. They both run the same way and pretend to be friends until there can be only one. The Left’s cultural agenda is incompatible with Islam, as is their pretending to love Israel, an affectation some Muslims can’t stomach.
Enter Future Coalition PAC, which is running ads in parts of Michigan with dense populations of Muslims.
Ads highlighting Kamala Harris’s support for Israel, such as it is. “Vice President Harris has chosen a side—the right side,” a narrator says. “Harris has made herself clear, she stands with Israel and the Jewish people.” Another notes that Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, would be “the first Jewish presidential spouse ever”—that Harris and Emhoff are “making history, standing up for what’s right, supporting Israel.”
Islamic leaders are not shy about their support for antisemitism, so the idea that this presidency will embrace Israel as a friend and oppose anti-Israel sentiment, even coming from the party of antisemitism, might shake a few votes away from Harris-Walz.
I can’t say how many. It is no secret that contrary to approved Dem Party rhetoric, Mr. Trump is a better friend to Israel. He brokered peace in the Middle East. Trump found ways to create trading partners out of historical enemies. But that if push came to shove, he’d side with Israel.
Another truth that won’t get much mention from the left is how many in the so-called Alt-Right are as anti-Israel as the pro-Palestine Dems and not fans of Trump. Or that Trump and his Jewish Son-in-Law and daughter (and grandchildren) are as beloved by him as any of his other progeny (making him the world’s worst Hitler)?
But all that aside, what is an antisemitic Muslim to do? If neither candidate is going to adopt their view of Israel, do they not vote at all, or do they look for other factors to align them with a candidate? The economy. The culture war. Parental rights. Religious liberty. Kamala loses on all those, which means Michigan might be a problem in November.
