We can be certain that the Democrats lost voters because of Gaza .

In Dearborn , Michigan , the largest majority Arab American city, Joe Biden won in 2020 with around 70% of the vote.

In relation to the war in Gaza and Lebanon , nothing changing was, to many, not an option.

In both the continuing killing and ethnic cleansing, there is a personal message, one that is sent to those of Arab background: people like you do not matter.

Voting is, above all, an exercise in free will the only free will individuals have in an electoral system dominated by celebrities, wealthy donors and a media in thrall to both.

Disempower voters and they will seize back that power in the only way they can, Nesrine Malik says.
