The ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict has sparked discontent among the large Muslim community in the United States. According to Reuters and the American "Politico" (politico) on December 3, due to Biden**'s support for Israel's war in the Gaza Strip, leaders of American Muslim groups from several swing states gathered in Dearborn, Michigan, Michigan, on December 2 to mobilize their communities to launch a campaign against Biden's re-election vote.
Muslim groups in Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania have named the campaign against Biden "Abandon Biden." According to Reuters, some of these states are key swing states for Biden to win 2020**. And the negative votes of the large Muslim and Arab-American communities in these regions could affect the outcome of the United States** in 2024.

After the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Minnesota Muslims were the first American Muslim group to carry out the "abandon Biden" movement, and now this movement has spread to Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and other places.
At present, the Palestinians and Israelis are once again rekindling the fighting after a 10-day ceasefire, and the United States and Israel** have rejected the demand for a permanent ceasefire.
