DETROIT (Diya TV) — Democratic Congressman Shri Thanedar faced a midnight protest at his Michigan home, organized by pro-Palestinian demonstrators seeking accountability for his perceived silence on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Once a strong supporter for Palestinian rights, Thanedar shifted to a pro-Israel stance after the brutal Hamas attack on Israel in October. Tensions also erupted at a private holiday party featuring Thanedar when pro-Palestinian groups disrupted.

With a strong commitment to Israel evident on his campaign website and in a recent tweets, Thanedar’s stance highlights broader challenges within the Democratic party. Michigan, with a significant Jewish and Arab-American population, witnesses escalating tensions, hinting at potential ramifications for the 2024 elections and exposing a deepening rift among Democrats.
