It has been a year since the fighting between Israel and Palestine began. The increasingly chaotic situation in the Middle East is also affecting the US presidential election and may determine the outcome of one battleground state. The key is the votes of Arab residents. The sound of prayer echoes through the prayer hall. This is the largest Islamic temple in North America, located in Dearborn, Michigan, in the Midwest. Walid Harb, a temple council member, says, "More than 1,000 people come to pray every Friday." One of the largest Arab communities in the United States, which accounts for more than half of the residents, is now in a state of tension. Reporter: "Hundreds of people are gathering at a rally to protest Israel's attack on Lebanon." With many deaths in Gaza and other places, anger is boiling over against the Democratic administration for not changing its stance on supporting Israel. Participants of the rally said, "I voted for Biden four years ago. I regret it and I'm ashamed. The administration has supported Israel's war crimes." "I've always been a Democrat, but I've concluded that I can't vote because of the genocide." Many Arab residents are supporters of the Democratic Party, which values ​​diversity, and in the last presidential election, Biden won 70% of the votes, due in part to their resentment against Trump, who made his support for Israel clear. However, last year, after the fighting in Gaza broke out, an unusual situation occurred in which more than 100,000 Democratic supporters voted in protest against Biden in the state's primary election. In addition, in August, Harris responded to the voices protesting the fighting in Gaza at a rally... Democratic Vice President Harris: "If you want Trump to win, keep him. If not, I'll speak." He cut off the remarks as if to push them away. Some Democratic supporters even started a movement to "take Harris down." Abdel Salam, who started the "Harris Down" campaign, said, "I was deeply hurt by that comment. Will there be a chance to speak to the people of Gaza?" He said he would support Harris if she promised a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, but she ignored him, so he is calling for people to vote for a third party. Abdel Salam, who started the "Harris Down" campaign, said, "The only way is to punish Harris for the crime of genocide and have her lose the election. The Democratic Party cannot win without our support." In the last election, Biden, who won Michigan, was 150,000 votes behind Trump. There are said to be more than 200,000 Arab voters, and this could determine the outcome of this close race. Local Democratic Party organizations are growing increasingly concerned. Sami Khaldi, a local Democratic Party official, said, "It's a very difficult situation. This election is very close and every vote counts. Vice President Harris should be proactive in saying that she is working hard to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza." In the latest opinion polls, Harris' lead in Michigan is only 0.7 points. Will Harris be able to deliver a message that moves the hearts of Arab people? ▼TBS NEWS DIG Official Website https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Please subscribe to our channel! / @tbsnewsdig ▼Information provided by "TBS Insiders" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-ins... ▼Video provided by "TBS Scoop Post" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou... #News #news #TBS #newsdig
