Pro-Trump Arab American group changes name to protest Gaza ‘takeover’ proposal

2025-02-06

[IsraelTimes] Organization formerly known as Arab Americans for Trump, which helped lead voter outreach to Arab and Muslim voters in 2024 election, will now be called Arab Americans for Peace

A group that played a key role in Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s voter outreach to the Arab American community alongside his allies is rebranding itself after the president said that the US would "take over" the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip.

Bishara Bahbah, chairman of the group formerly known as Arab Americans for Trump,

…some members are Moslem Arabs, some are Christian Arabs, and probably some are quietly something else…

said during a phone interview with The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Wednesday that the group would now be called Arab Americans for Peace.

The name change came after Trump held a Tuesday presser alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House and proposed the US take "ownership" in redeveloping the area into "the Riviera of the Middle East."

"The talk about what the president wants to do with Gaza, obviously we’re completely opposed to the idea of the transfer of Paleostinians from anywhere in Historic Paleostine," Bahbah said. "And so we did not want to be behind the curve in terms of pushing for peace, because that has been our objective from the very beginning."

Arab Americans for Trump helped lead voter outreach efforts for Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election in swing states such as Michigan and Arizona.

The group, independent from the Trump campaign, frequently facilitated meetings between Arab American community leaders and Trump’s allies, including Richard Grenell, now serving as Trump’s envoy for special missions, and Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany and now a senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.

In the 2024 election, Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win Dearborn, Michigan — home to the nation’s largest concentration of Arab Americans — since 2000 on his way to winning the state. Trump visited Dearborn on November 1.

Bahbah said the group had been thinking about changing its name for "a while" and ultimately made the decision Tuesday. But Bahbah had said during a phone interview just prior to Trump’s Tuesday night presser with Netanyahu that the group’s name was Arab Americans for Trump.

In a blurb issued Wednesday by Arab Americans for Peace, the group said its members "appreciate the president’s offer to clean and rebuild Gaza" but "take issue with the president’s suggestion of taking over Gaza and removing its Paleostinian inhabitants."
