Members of Michigan's Lebanese American community rallied in Dearborn to protest the Israeli offensive against Hezbollah, which has resulted in significant casualties. Over 1,000 attendees expressed anger towards Democrats, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden, for U.S. arms support to Israel. The rally highlighted a growing divide between the Democratic Party and Arab Americans, who feel disillusioned with the Biden administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Community leaders, including Dearborn's mayor, voiced their dissatisfaction and indicated a lack of support for Harris in the upcoming election. Former President Donald Trump is seeking to attract these voters, receiving endorsements from local leaders. The ongoing violence in the region has intensified emotions, with many attendees sharing personal losses and frustrations over U.S. foreign policy.
