Mara Gay: People Want to See the Administration Do More to Prevent Children from Dying in Gaza

EXCERPT:

GAY: "I mean, not only is there a large number of Arab voters in Michigan, but there are a lot of Democratic voters in Michigan who are sympathetic to — to Palestinians. They're seeing what's going on and they’re very angry about it. You have young voters in Michigan are extremely important because college voters, you know, also helped put Biden over the edge last time. There’s a lot of anger on college campuses as well. And black voters are also very sympathetic to Palestinians. So this isn’t about being anti-Israel. People want to hear — people in Michigan, and my family is from Michigan. I spent some time there, quite a bit of time there, actually, over the holiday, people want to see the administration do more to prevent children from dying in Gaza, okay? That’s true all over the world. And people also want to hear more sympathy and more equanimity from Palestinians, and you hear that over and over. It’s about empathy. It’s about respect.”
