(NBC) “Outraged,” “point of no return” and “absolute disaster” are how some Muslim American organizers have described their reactions to an aid package for Israel that is making its way through Congress for President Joe Biden to sign into law.
Many Muslim Americans were already furious with the Biden administration over its handling of the Israel-Hamas war, with activists organizing Democrats to vote “uncommitted” rather than support the president in some state primaries this year.
For several activists and leaders of prominent Muslim American organizations, Biden’s support for $26 billion in aid for Israel reaffirms their view about November’s election: They cannot back Biden for a second term.
