“Trump is what the country needs” Muslim American man says Biden’s handling of Israel/Hamas war may lose him this election

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Tensions are high between the Biden Administration and Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as their divide on how to handle the war grows deeper.

President Biden and Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu are at odds after President Biden sided with the U.N.s plans to ceasefire but some are saying his actions to aid Gaza are only to secure a re-election.

Several Muslims are expressing their distrust in President Biden and they’re joined by a good deal of congress in saying, America should not be funding Israel’s war.

“I think everybody recognizes that Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas that waged the barbaric attack against them, said Senator Bernie Sanders. “My concern is what Netanyahu’s right wing extremist gov’t is doing -- is not going to war against Hamas but going to war against the Palestinian people in general.”

The death toll in the Israel Hamas war has reached around 32,000 people and the Palestinian Health Ministry reports that of that number, 30,000 are Palestinians.

“People are dying and the truth of the matter is, there are a lot of Muslims in these swing states that President Biden will need to win this re-election,” said Kareem Worthey. “My family is from Egypt and this war has had a negative ripple effect on all of us.”

Kareem Worthey is joined with several other American Muslims who feel The Biden Administration is supporting a genocide.

The anger and frustration is seen and heard in protests across the nation and while disarray at the southern border and a divide in congress will no doubt impact this year’s presidential election – the Israel Hamas war has some, changing their stance ahead of the November election.

“I think if Trump was in office it would be different; with his negotiation tactics that we could find some common ground with American Muslims and innocent civilians in Gaza,” said Worthey. “I think Trump is what the country needs at this very moment.”
