Muslim voters outraged with Biden after House passes $26 billion Israel aid with his blessing
President Biden is facing heavy pushback from Muslim voters and organizations after the House passed $26 billion in funding for Israel with his blessing Saturday.
The bill also includes funding for Ukraine and Taiwan, and Biden said he would sign it as soon as it reaches his desk. U.S. Islamic organizers have been attacking Biden's administration for months over its continued support for Israel, and some say Biden signing this latest legislation would be the last straw.
"That heartless decision could mark the point of no return for what remains of the White House’s relationship with the American Muslim community and other Americans opposed to the genocide in Gaza," Council on American-Islamic Relations' government affairs director Robert McCaw told NBC News.
"The administration is already at its lowest point in its relationship with the American Muslim community," he added.
CAIR National described the aid as a "blank check" allowing the Israeli government to purchase the "offensive weapons it has used to slaughter at least 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza."
"Giving Netanyahu this blank check after all of the war crimes his government has committed would make our nation fully complicit in the Gaza genocide and likely mark a breaking point for what remains of Biden's relationship with not only American Muslims, but many other Americans of all backgrounds opposed to the genocide," CAIR wrote in a statement.
============================
Biden is losing the Muslim vote. They are not going to turn out for Dementia Joe in November.
