Lebanese Americans in Michigan are reeling from the devastation in Lebanon caused by Israeli attacks, which have hit close to home for many in the community. Ali Dabaja, a physician, lost his cousin and her family in an air strike, sparking anger and grief among Lebanese Americans. The indiscriminate bombing campaign has left hundreds dead and forced thousands to flee their homes.
As the conflict intensifies, Lebanese Americans are feeling anxious and outraged at the US government for supporting Israel. Many are trying to help their families back in Lebanon, who are facing danger and displacement. The US Embassy in Beirut has provided little assistance to American citizens caught in the crossfire.
Criticism of the Biden administration and Vice President Kamala Harris is mounting, with calls for an arms embargo against Israel. Lebanese Americans are organizing protests and fundraisers, determined to push for change and an end to US support for Israel. Despite the despair, there is a sense of unity and resilience within the community, as they rally together and demand justice for their homeland.
