Dearbor, Michigan community figure Osama Siblani, who recently had street named after him: We should capitalize on the blood shed in Gaza in the midterms; Saluting Nasrallah And The Hezbollah martyrs was the most important thing I did in my life.
On September 17, 2025, Dearborn, Michigan journalist and community leader Osama Siblani said in an interview with the Arab American Center for Culture and Arts on YouTube that the community is "on the verge of a great achievement" in the midterm elections, crediting the Gaza war for having pulled the Palestinian cause out of the "garbage bin."
Siblani said that the victims and the price of this achievement are enormous, and this must be "built and capitalized upon," emphasizing that he deliberately used this "loaded" word to describe a situation where blood is used to build something.
