DEARBORN, Mich. Mohammad Enayah relied on a cousin in Gaza for regular updates on his extended family living under Israels bombardment. He heard about the daily challenges his family faced in trying to survive: no access to running water, regular bombings and fleeing from one strangers home to another seeking safety.
Then, in November, he received the news he had been dreading: 30 members of his extended family had been killed by an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp. He began to look at the list of names of those killed but couldnt make it past the first one.
The first name was so familiar, Enayah said, his voice breaking as tears streamed down his face. I just put it aside and I said, I dont want to read it. But to honor them, I had to. It took me a week just to go through the names.
It is for that reason that Enayah, like many Arab American and Muslim voters in Dearborn where Arab Americans make up the majority of the population is resolved not only to withhold his vote from President Biden, but also to actively campaign against him. Some Michigan Arabs and Muslims have launched an Abandon Biden campaign part of a broader national movement still getting off the ground to ensure that those in their community show up to cast their votes, but not for Biden.
