Left revolts over Biden’s staunch support of Israel amid Gaza crisis
The Guardian ^ | Sat 28 Oct 2023 | Lauren Gambino

Posted on 10/30/2023 7:04:12 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

On Wednesday afternoon, hundreds of liberal Jewish American activists staged sit-ins in the Capitol Hill offices of top Democrats, including in the senate office of progressive champion Bernie Sanders, to demand a ceasefire in the escalating war between Israel and Hamas.

As they sang in Hebrew and prayed for peace, the House floor resumed legislative activity for the first time in weeks after the election of a new Republican speaker, congressman Mike Johnson.

In his first act, Johnson brought to the floor a resolution declaring US solidarity with Israel after Hamas rampaged through Israeli cities, killing 1,400 people and taking more than 200 hostages, Americans among them. Nearly all House Democrats voted to approve the measure, save for a resolute minority who dissented, citing its failure to address the thousands of Palestinians killed in Israel’s retaliatory bombing campaign of Gaza.

The discontent on display in Washington was a testament to the rising anger among the party’s left over the response from Biden and Democratic leaders to Israel’s war in Gaza.

Biden is a two-face he says he supports Israel then calls Netanyahu on the phone to tell him to ‘tone it down’ on military action.

Self-loathing, unwarranted feelings of guilt and an over-riding will toward self-destruction seem to be common themes among the Western Left. Not coincidentally, they are also common symptoms of mental illness.

It would be a serious political mistake to dismiss these leftist pro Hamas, pro Palestinian, anti Isreal, often overtly anti Semetic demonstrations on college campuses and on urban streets as the actions of a small, vocal minority. They are not happening in a social or political vaccum. These people form a significant portion of Biden’s and the Democrats base. Even the most virulent are members in good standing and are leaders or influencers within the Democratic Party. As long as the Biden cabal retains power, American policy will shift to accomadate these people.

But as many progressives split from the White House over the US’s staunchly pro-Israel stance,

Biden talks a pretty good game, but he's still funding the Palestinians and only the most naive don't realize that means funding Hamas as well.

But I'm guessing that none will be charged with felony trespassing, much less insurrection.

<< they sang in Hebrew and prayed for peace, >>

If Israel had initiated the hostilities instead of Hamas, these so-called peace activists would be calling for war (on Israel), not praying for peace. They and their jihadi bedfellows share essential hatreds — hatred for America, Israel, capitalism, and individual freedoms. Jihadists and leftists are the scourge of the world.

If the Age of Trump has taught us anything, it is that there a lot of dumb people. A lot of dim bulbs will take what Brandon and his handlers say about Israel at face value.

If you lean to fake sincerity you can have it all. Biden only cares about two things 1. Holding power and 2. getting richer for his family. He must be president to pardon himself and family or they should , I believe, go to the electric chair for selling out the Nation. (Note: all Citizens are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law).

Staunch support of Israel means financially supporting and politically supporting all of Israel’s enemies...who’d-a-thunk-it?
