Probably stems (at least partly) from of a potential sense of betrayal.
Some Arab Americans who voted for Trump say they are concerned about his picks for key positions (Nov 18): "Just a week after winning several of the nation’s largest Arab-majority cities, President-elect Donald Trump has filled top administration posts with staunch Israel supporters, including an ambassador to Israel who has claimed 'there is no such thing as Palestinians.' Meanwhile, the two Trump advisers who led his outreach to Arab Americans have not secured positions in the administration yet."
Parody Alcove: Wouldn't jump to the conclusion that left-wing terrorism proper has returned with the intensity that it had in the 1970s. Even some of the populist independents have fickle, erratic, confused identities that compel them to inconsistent hither and thither actions.
And pro-Palestinian and other anti-Zionist orientations are "left" only in the sense of progressives grooming cultural Islamic population groups and fueling the idea that they deserve the Arab-American (etc) vote. As witnessed by some of the latter's shift toward Trump, in the long-run their values don't align with the Moral Elite Democrats. That's a temporary alliance, purely forged by practical needs and whichever party demonstrates itself to be currently useful. After their disgust with Biden's support of Israel, neither enjoys significant loyalty from the pro-Pal.

Police are investigating the incidents, which happened on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, said the Trump appointees “were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them”.
She said that several people had been targeted and "law enforcement acted quickly to ensure" their safety. "With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” she said.
Neither Leavitt nor the FBI identified any of the targets by name... (MORE - details)
