What part of "sovereign nation" do Democrats not understand?
"One of the most frustrating aspects of Joe Biden’s Israel
rhetoric, continually regurgitated by his administration, has been the
effort to cartoonishly portray Benjamin Netanyahu, and not Hamas, as the
villain in Israel’s war in Gaza. A key element of that propagandistic
fantasy is that the Israeli people do not support Netanyahu, or his
policies, and that that he alone, not Israel’s three-member war cabinet,
is the sole decision maker.
"The administration,
media, and other Democrats have dutifully behaved in every way possible
to attempt to portray the propaganda as truth. For ridiculously
hyperbolic media headlines on the subject, you can go here, here, and here.
Each portrays Israel not as a sovereign nation, and a partner equal to
America (or any other Western nation), but instead as a recalcitrant
child who must be disciplined. The most common, and patronizing, phrase
used to describe this attitude is “tough love.”
In other words, Israel is a problem child, and not a highly
sophisticated, modern, Western democracy that was savagely attacked. It
is a wayward teen, not the planet’s only Jewish state whose people were
barbarically murdered, raped, and mutilated in a one-day genocide that
represented the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
"One
of the more hypocritical aspects of all of this is the calls from
Democrats for “regime change” in Israel. Late last week, many of us were
shocked by the news that Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, also a
Democrat, not only called for the removal of the democratically elected
Netanyahu government, but also compared Bibi to Hamas itself and to
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. Schumer’s attack included a
fourth prong to his so called “obstacles to peace”: right wing, meaning
mostly observant, Jews.
"So religious Jews, and the
Jewish prime minister of Israel, are equivalent to the terrorists who
carried out the 10/7 attacks, and the leader of Fatah, who would like to
carry out (G-d forbid), another 10/7, and spent much of the first
several decades of his life helping to murder Jews. Schumer also
referred to members of Netanyahu’s cabinet as “bigots” and “extremists.”
Maybe he thought that Jonathan Glazer wasn’t embarrassing us enough and
felt inspired to adopt a similar vibe. In retrospect, this should not
have been that surprising coming from a man who once directly threated
Justices of the Supreme Court. Fortunately, there are indications that
the strategy backfired, at least in Schumer’s case, as more liberal
Jewish organizations, and some Democrats criticized the speech.
"Schumer, like the media, and like lesser Democrats, was echoing Biden’s talking points, many of which were expressed during a March 10 MSNBC sycophantic fawn-fest
interview with human water droplet Jonathan Capehart. For context, this
is the same interview in which El Presidente apologized for calling an
illegal immigrant murderer “illegal,” and claimed that illegal
immigrants “built the country.” (It is truly amazing how many “did I
just read that correctly???” moments this man inspires)
"He
also bizarrely claimed that he has known Bibi “for fifty years.” They
must have met during Biden’s, a junior senator at the time,
super-secret, and also imaginary, trip to Israel in 1974 (where
twenty-five-year-old Netanyahu was living at the time). More heinously,
he said that “In my view, “(Netanyahu) is hurting Israel more than
helping Israel by making the rest of the world—it’s contrary to what
Israel stands for. And I think it’s a big mistake.” The “it” being
Netanyahu not paying enough “attention to the innocent lives being lost
as a consequence of the actions taken.”
"The reality: protecting Jewish life is exactly
what Israel stands for. He is obviously setting up a false dichotomy
with Bibi and the reality of Israel on one side, and the leftist,
fantasy version of Israel on the other.
"To end things on a low note, Biden once again quoted, as he had during the State of the Union, Hamas’ FALSE casualty numbers.
.....
"What’s behind their enthusiasm for attempting to meddle in the internal affairs of another nation? On March 10, an Israel expert claimed that he had been asked by a “serious administration figure“ about “what "it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse.” In what universe does the democratically elected leader of the world’s largest democracy seek to topple the government of the Middle East’s only democracy? Apparently, anything is on the table as a campaign strategy for an incumbent president who knows that he is in deep trouble and is trying desperately to please his antisemitic far-left base, while also simultaneously trying to retain whatever loyalty to the party remains among pro-Israel Democrat voters and mega-donors.
======================
I loathe Biden, Blinken, and now Schumer along with the "Squad" and other Dems, with their anti-Israel, anti-Netanyahu rhetoric and their demands and insults. So I was glad to read this excellent article on the subject. Make sure you read the whole thing.
Let's hope Biden doesn't get re-elected, because he will continue destroying Israel in the process of destroying everything else.
