US Arabs eye ‘historic’ Senate win for Abdul El-Sayed despite AIPAC attacks
Suehaila Amen’s voice trembles when she speaks about the plight of south Lebanon, where Israel is systematically wiping out entire villages. She struggles to hold back tears.
Amen, a prominent local activist, says the large Arab American community in Michigan is suffering from shock, pain and exhaustion after nearly three years of war, mass killings and destruction in Palestine and Lebanon.
“To say the community is hurting is really an understatement. Even in answering this question, I’m brought to tears because I lived there,” she said of Bint Jbail, one of the border towns in Lebanon that has been leveled by Israeli forces.
“This is my land too — my ancestral homeland. People are feeling like they are disregarded, that their lives don’t matter.”
In the middle of this despair, Amen said she has found a beacon of hope in the rise of politicians across the United States who are calling for an end to government support for Israel.
