Looks like the fight is on with Israeli soldiers and civilians amongst the dead already. Question becomes, how long before we get dragged into this?

President Donald Trump has nominated a Michigan mayor who played a key role in helping him win Arab American votes in the swing state to be U.S. ambassador to Kuwait. Amer Ghalib, mayor of the Muslim-majority city of Hamtramck, has been a vocal critic of Israel’s military campaign against Hamas in Gaza.

“Amer worked hard to help us secure a Historic Victory in Michigan,” Trump wrote Friday on his Truth Social platform. Ghalib, 45, endorsed Trump in September as Muslim and Arab American voters grew increasingly angry over the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel.

A Yemeni immigrant, Ghalib has a history of promoting antisemitic ideas online since becoming the municipality’s first Arab American and Muslim mayor. And under his leadership, Hamtramck became the first city in the nation to support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel, which some critics see as an assault on the legitimacy of the Jewish state’s existence.

A few years ago, the mayor “liked” a Facebook comment that called Jews “monkeys.” During the 2020 presidential primaries, Ghalib, who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, suggested that Americans will rage about the Jewish candidate’s popularity among Muslim and Arab American voters and back his Democratic rival Joe Biden “just to spite Muslims and Arabs.”.............

This mayor helped Trump win Arab American voters in Michigan. His reward: An ambassadorship.​

He sold out his community and got rewarded. There seems to be a lot of that going around.
