When how unrelenting Israel’s assault on Gaza would be became clear, many Arab Americans of my age had a bit of PTSD. This story can best be told by Arab American progress in three cities: Chicago IL, Dearborn MI, and Paterson NJ. Chicago is home to the US’s largest Palestinian community; Arab Americans make up 4–5% of the city’s electorate. This and similar events hosted by other Chicago-based Arab American political groups now draw practically every candidate for public office. Michigan’s Arab American population is so large and well organized that they can be the margin of victory or defeat in a close presidential election.
