“I highlight this for several reasons: Michigan has a significant Arab and Muslim community. Michigan is a critical state this November,” he continued in another post. “I am the highest ranking Arab and Muslim state elected in Michigan, and the lack of outreach only suggests there isn’t a legitimate concern or respect for our communities here in Michigan (and broadly across the US).”
I’m normally pretty meh about Biden but I kind of appreciate that he did the bare minimum and wasn’t a racist here.

Terrorism includes violence or threat of violence directed at civilians

There’s not just a single definition of the word, and not just a single correct one. Why don’t you give us your definition that not many people seem to agree with?

Sure why don’t you? I can’t keep track of everything going on in your world, only reliably just the specific context where we are engaging.
Okay. So where do you read this guy has threatened to use violence to create fear?
the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. Source

You imply violence by saying terrorism. That’s why people are saying that it isn’t terrorism.
The issue now is that Biden wants their votes. And to get their votes he needs to do something about Gaza, which he isn’t.
Because people otherwise would shout “We can’t trust Hamas officials!” and thus you have to talk to someone who is obviously not Hamas.
What the hell do the local groups want? It’s not like they are a federal authority or group. Bring it up with the Michigan leadership.
… state Rep. Abraham Aiyash (D) said that he has received “ZERO correspondence” since Oct. 7 from the White House, the Democratic National Committee or the Michigan Democratic Party leadership about the community’s concerns regarding U.S. involvement in the “ongoing genocide unfolding in Gaza.”

The Biden admin was already in a tough spot with voters before they supported Israel. Now they have sealed the deal and have no chance of winning. We will slip farther into fascism because of genocide Joe.
What exactly was this representative looking for? What are they going to bring to the table that merits the White House bringing them in to consult on the Middle East? Huffpost laid out what their grievance was, and it seems like it’s just because they are the leader of the House of Representatives in Michigan.
How are we supposed to achieve peace in the Middle East unless the concerns of Michiganders are addressed?
Maybe by talking to Prime Minister Patrick Achi of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire
Lmao. Arab and a leader in the Michigan republican party? That has leopard ate my face material written all over it.
He is listed as a Democrat.
Oops. My bad. I saw someone posted “leader of the House of Representatives” and at the quick glance I did thought it said “House Republicans”
