Democratic divisions over Israel policy heat up as Biden tries to keep his coalition together
CNN ^ | Mon October 9, 2023 | Gregory Krieg

The deadly surprise offensive by Hamas militants on Israel over the weekend threatens to ignite tensions between moderate and progressive Democrats already divided over the Jewish state’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

For President Joe Biden, that long-simmering discord is at risk of mushrooming into a divisive intraparty clash over the US government’s next moves – especially as Israel launches what it has promised will be a ferocious crackdown on Gaza – that could ultimately threaten the liberal coalition so crucial to his reelection strategy.

Early signs of Democratic infighting and anxieties over potentially difficult choices to come have been cast into sharper relief by the near unanimity among high-profile Republicans on Israel. From powerful figures in Washington to the GOP presidential primary field, they have almost unanimously pledged unquestioning solidarity with the Israeli government while blaming Biden, who recently agreed a limited deal with Tehran to free hostages in exchange for unfreezing billions in Iranian assets, for not taking a harder line in the region.

> Send them to Paris. (That'll probably start a civil war)

I think that is the point, the West's Oligarchs purposely use up its resources in Ukraine to soften itself up for invasion.

Gotta break Western skulls if you are going to impose global feudalism ...

He’s trying to walk the tightrope between the “Death to Israelis” and the “Death to all Jews” factions in his party.

Imagine a box. Open the box, what’s in it?

Nothing. But. Air.

Pukey-smelling air.

Demonrats are fully supportive of the savages who murder the jews.

R’s support the jews 100%.

Yet jews vote demonrat 90%+.

Why?

None of which has an ounce of instinct for cell preservation. My brother-in-law’s wife is like that. The Jewish woman from New York who taught school in Florida for 30 years. If you want a definition for futility it would be trying to talk sense to that woman

as Biden tries to keep his coalition together

Biden barely has his faculties about him. The headline is total propaganda. We all know it's the same exact people running the show as the 8 years prior to Trump. This is Obama's 3rd term. Valjar is likely the brainchild of the deals with Iran/Hamas and according to Levin, messing with Israel's last election which the Obama admin did back then.

Splitting Jewish money the democrats would be a big blow to the demonrats even if the liberal Jews didn’t become Republicans

> My wife’s brother’s wife

Ah, yes, of course. I can't do family trees in my head worth a d@mn, I need to see a drawing, and even then I don't know the correct nomenclature for all the relationships except the simple ones.

> Let me know if you want to learn the difference between a first cousin once removed and a second cousin......(took me years to get that straight ha ha)

Oh God help me, no, thank you. :-) My dear departed Mother would revel in such things, and traced our family tree back to before the Revolution (and includes a signer of the Declaration). But I will take a pass, and thank you for the kind offer.

I worked with a relative that I called my uncle.

My wife always corrects me and tells the kids - “He is actually your dad’s first cousin once removed.”

He was 30 years older than me. Uncle seemed more fitting to me. His kids were my age.

CNN = the Communist News Network.

Never for America or our allies. Mealy mouthed leftists at the least, MARXIST anti-America mouthpieces as the norm.
