AHRC Congratulates President-Elect Trump, Time To Reconcile, Work Together And Move Forward.
The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) and the community it proudly serves in Michigan and across the nation extend their congratulations to President-Elect Donald Trump and his VP JD Vance for their remarkable victory in this year’s presidential elections. This year’s elections were undoubtedly historic and exceptional. It is one presidential race that has been watched closely at home and abroad. AHRC congratulates all winning candidates for all electoral posts.
AHRC looks forward to the new administration fulfilling its promises. We urge inclusion and diversity in words and deeds. In addition, AHRC urges all elected officials to seize the opportunity to help unite the country. We cannot afford to have open-ended divisions.
Voters have chosen and voters have decided, and this is democracy. AHRC calls upon both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to collaborate on solutions in the nation's interests. AHRC urges all citizens, regardless of their political views and political party affiliations, to reconcile and unite to serve the public good.
Regarding foreign policy, we hope the new administration sets policy grounded in America’s democratic values and respect and commitment to international law and UN resolutions. AHRC hopes that Mr. Trump will help bring genuine peace and help put an end to the senseless wars in the Middle East and in the rest of the world. AHRC urges President Elect Trump to honor his promises to the Arab and Muslim American communities.
AHRC hopes that the new administration will put an end to the genocide in Gaza and the war on Lebanon. The US has the power and influence, political will was lacking with the current marginalized and ineffective administration.
“Even though there is a history of disappointments, we can’t be but optimistic and hopeful,” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “Mr. Trump reached out to the Muslim and Arab communities with promises to end the horrible violence and carnage in the Middle East, we hope he delivers on these promises,” added Hamad. "The fact that the election is over does not mean it is time to rest, it is time to remain engaged and to make sure President Trump delivers on his promises," concluded Hamad.
“Candidate Biden in the 2020 election promised the Arab and Muslim American communities a foreign policy grounded in human rights and international law,” said Dr. Ihsan Alkhatib, associate professor of Political Science at Murray State University. “Instead, he delivered a US-sponsored genocide in Gaza and a horrible war on Lebanon,” added Alkhatib. “The policy of subserviently giving Netanyahu everything while not expecting or getting anything in return is going to change,” added Alkhatib.
