Dearborn s Arab and Muslim community have organized an array of pro-Palestinian protests during President Joe Biden s visit to a vehicle plant today.
Many are angered the United States is blocking efforts at the United Nations Security Council to demand an Israel-Palestine cease-fire.
Imad Hamad is with the American Human Rights Council and is of Palestinian-descent. He says Dearborn residents like him want to remind Biden that the Arab community voted for him.
Hamad says his dream of seeing peace during his lifetime is fading away. But I can see it in the eyes and the hearts of my kids and my children. And I see it in the eyes, and the hearts of the young generations who flooded the streets of Dearborn. Thousands of of them.

Saying they feel betrayed, thousands of Arab Americans protested across Dearborn on Tuesday afternoon as President Joe Biden arrived in the city to tour a Ford Rouge plant, blasting the president over his support for Israel during its conflict with Palestinians. We are here today to make sure that President Biden knows that the Dearborn community and the Arab American community and all of Michigan, that we are not going to stay silent while he waltzes into our city while saying he is giving unwavering support to the Israeli government, Palestinian American attorney Amer Zahr said outside the Dearborn Police station to a crowd during the protest. That war criminal Joe Biden . thinking he can just come in here, walk into the Ford Rouge plant, say a few words and leave. . You re not welcome here.
