The biased left-wing American news media, which favors the reelection of President Joe Biden next year, knows it has a big problem in the face of Arab and Muslim American anger over Israel’s violence in Gaza.

Israel’s government has always enjoyed preferential treatment in the US, despite its many war crimes, its violence and even its killings of American citizens.

Sometimes I wonder if Arab and Muslim Americans understand that, to change the country, you have to connect with Americans in a compelling and reasoned manner, not pander to their own communities.

Israel has always had the upper hand both in violence and the propaganda war against the Palestinians, with the backing of Western politicians and a heavily slanted news media. 

The Gaza War should be an eyeopener for every Arab and Muslim American and wake them up to the reality of US politics.  

President Joe Biden last month allowed Israel to join the US’ Visa Waiver Program — an important decision that grants special privileges to Israeli citizens who enter the country. 

For most candidates who want to become president of the US, the debate over Israel will focus almost exclusively on who supports it the most aggressively.

The American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee last week launched the Arab American Business Advisory Council, which will focus on providing an important new service to the community.
