We could have told the President, “We told you so”. Or, in layman’s terms, we could have said to Biden, “Stop and think before you act”, which historically is one of Biden’s most proverbial talent, depending on whom you talk to. As proven by his slow response to arming Ukraine. Today, there is evidence that Biden blind support for Israeli violence is coming back to bite him, as America’s support for Israel drops like a rock.
Without that public support, Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, is beginning to make sense with his remarks. He told “Meet the Press” that the President does not rule out sending weapons to Israel while tying its hands with conditions. Like not targeting women and children, hospitals, and schools.
Gee, Mr. Sullivan, any Gen Z or Millennial would have told you so. However, considering that Joe Biden is 80-years old, no wonder he is incapable of understanding what a younger generation of Americans, in addition to Arab-American voters in key swing States, will not tolerate. Mainly, that their liberal President is underwriting violence against civilians.
Mr. Sullivan, how does this blind support for Israel to kill civilians help spread American freedom, and uphold any international law? We really would like to know your views on that.
Today, our hope is that Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia throws his hat in the ring because the way things stand, every Democrat should be extremely nervous about Biden’s capacity to read the American public.
NETANYAHU IS ALSO PAYING ATTENTION
More important than Joe Biden’s hard pivot is Benjamin Netanyahu’s change of heart.
Unexpectedly, the violent mass murderer is dropping hints he is willing to extend the truce with the terror group Hamas. That is a worthy development, mostly due to the brave American young voters who disapprove of Israeli violence against women and children. So far, Israel has taken the lives of 6,000 children in Gaza, not to speak of thousands more buried in the rubble of Gaza.
The question is: Will Netanyahu conquer his violent instincts, or will he continue to mass murder his way into the Israeli history books as the prime minister that Hamas fooled with ease?
What does that drop in Israel support also tells us? That Joe Biden is totally out of touch with reality. Because of it, he is going to lose to Donald Trump in 2024. We are betting on it.
Today, our hope is that Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia throws his hat in the ring because the way things stand, every Democrat should be extremely nervous about Biden’s capacity to read the American public. His blind support for Israel was his “The emperor is wearing no clothes” moment. Ossoff’s energy and wisdom would certainly register well with the liberals and a rising and vibrant Gen Z voting base.
Our hope is two-fold. All the hostages return safely to their loved ones, and all violence against civilians come to a halt. Anything less is on both men [Biden and Netanyahu] to explain to their constituents and the world’s public opinion.
YOU CANNOT MURDER AN IDEA
Israel is not the country it was during previous tenure of prime ministers. The new Israel, run by extremists, is out to annex the West Bank and Gaza, and throw the Palestinians for Jordan and Egypt to build them more refugee camps. This Gaza war, in addition to continued violence and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by terrorist settlers on the West Bank, is ample evidence.
The problem with this policy is that it is impossible to murder the Palestinian Cause, whose aim is to build an independent state for their people. It is a cause that every conscientious person looking for justice will back, which makes Israel look like a villain. This explains the drop in Israel’s support among the younger generation of Americans.
As Queen Rania of Jordan said in early November, “If we do not address these root causes (i.e., Israeli occupation), then you can kill the combatants, but you cannot kill the cause”. It is simply impossible to exterminate Hamas because the idea of freedom from Israeli violent occupation lives. History tells us that another organization would rise to carry the torch. A la al-Qaeda to ISIS.
Maybe such just dawned on two angry men in Biden and Netanyahu. Potentially, we are watching their grief transform from “anger” to “bargaining”. For sure, Biden’s latest statement, through Jake Sullivan, is showing signs that he is trying to revive his bargaining skills. After all, Biden blind support for Israel is now threatening his presidency.
Our hope is two-fold. All the hostages return safely to their loved ones, and all violence against civilians come to a halt. Anything less is on both men to explain to their constituents and the world’s public opinion.
