Challenging the misconception that all Muslim Americans oppose Israel

  • Many Muslim Americans stand with Israel and the Jewish people
  • They understand the threat of terrorist violence perpetrated in the name of Islam
  • Hamas and other organizations also target Muslims who oppose their agenda
  • Progressive strategists should acknowledge the diversity of Muslim American views

In a recent report on the divisions within the American left over Israel, it was suggested that President Biden’s defense of Israel’s right to exist is alienating Muslim Americans. While this may be true for some, it is important to recognize that many Muslim Americans, including myself, come from countries plagued by terrorist violence in the name of Islam. These acts of violence have not only targeted Jews, but also Muslims who oppose the extremist agenda of groups like Hamas. It is crucial to understand that Muslim Americans who support Israel and stand against terrorism do exist, despite the narrative pushed by self-described progressive humanitarians. It is time for progressive strategists to acknowledge the diversity of views within the Muslim American community.
