President Biden said last week that if Israel launched military operations against Rafah and Hamas, he would withdraw military support from the country. This statement received a lot of positive feedback because it seemed to perfectly capture the incoherent Israel plan that the Biden administration has been developing following Hamas ‘ brutal attack in October, which sparked the Gaza war.
On the one hand, the American people support Israel in large part and offer moral rationale for this conflict. Let’s face it, Hamas is still holding American residents hostage right now, in case someone forgot. On the other hand, the hard-left grassroots, a significant component of the Democratic Party’s coalition, are vehemently pro-Palestine and willing to use domestic violence to demonstrate their point. The hard-left impact forces are not just indicative of the group’s advocate center; they are also funded by George Soros, the Tides Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and those who fund Democrats ‘ billions of dollars and their left-wing reasons.
The Democratic alliance is radically divided by the problem. Six months after an election, for instance, American celebrities typically engage in explicit social media fighting for Democrats. Well, how’s a picture of Jewish artist Michael Rapaport, an avowed Trump bigot, unendorsing Biden in typically filthy style.
In support of the Palestinian protests, rapper Macklemore released a banger of an old-school hip-hop track last week, which is n’t all that surprising given his antisemitic prowess. ( I’m hoping the ADL now feels good about defending Macklemore! ) Regardless, Macklemore’s music is generally renowned for one verse:” The blood is on your hands, Biden/ we can see it all / and f- ck no/ I’m no votin’ for you in the fall”.
Of course, looking at a fight where children are dying a half-a-world away through the glass of politics seems very odd. Although this viewpoint may be needed because politics clearly determines this area of policy. The Biden administration has n’t done much since the start of the Gaza war, attempting to find a Goldilocks zone between extremes in his coalition, which is being done with a view to November.
Biden has openly tilt- flopped on his assistance of Israel, his administration is making up reasons to remove support, there are no principles these, there’s no attempt to explain and stake out a position, and there’s no attempt to direct. In addition, the Gaza conflict threatens to sever all of its effects on international transport and causes a whole Middle East war.
Like almost every other big issue of his presidency, no his whole social job, Biden’s method has been defined by his incompetence. Robert Gates, the president’s security secretary, said,” I think he has been bad on almost every major international plan and national security issue over the past four years.” Of course, when Biden was a senator and vice president, his terrible judgment was n’t nearly as consequential. Now that he’s leader, it’s a different tale.
Collins wonders why he’s along in the elections. The fear of conflict that may follow another Trump administration far outweighs Biden’s incompetence toward Israel and beyond because it is so abundantly clear.
Panic!
Additionally, you can observe the anxiety in real time. Perhaps the obedient press are noticing. ” Biden’s nuanced position ]on Israel ] has created different fault lines of division within his own Democratic Party”, observes NBC News. ” Nuanced” is an odd way of describing what Biden is doing, especially since NBC’s own reporting indicates voters do n’t view it that way:
” It’s starting to seem as if he is supporting the bad side”, Dovid Jacobowitz, a Democrat from Allegheny County in Pennsylvania, told NBC News. Jacobowitz would n’t say if he’ll vote for Biden in November.  ,
Nasir Raza, an undecided voting from Scottsdale, Arizona, who voted for Biden in 2020, said the president’s move in place on Israel “may be to late for a lot of people that I know”, but added:” I may yet also vote for Joe Biden if I see a complete stop- fire, if I see a hope for Palestinians to go on in it, to have their own rights and the homeland for themselves”.
The pundit community, whose primary motivation is to oppose Trump, is obviously confounded by this. Jonah Goldberg has been vocal about Donald Trump’s opposition for many years, but even acknowledging that Biden is losing support leads to angry anti-Trump pundits chastising those voters for rejecting Biden despite his terrible Israel policy.
On some level, the denial really is astonishing. Biden has n’t led in the polls against Trump since last September. Insisting that the voters are being misinformed is all it is asking for. Additionally, it disregards the possibility that voters will choose a fairly rational option.
Indeed, the Trump presidency was a lot of chaos. Trump’s fault was in some ways related to that, but much of the chaos he’s in the past, including the Russia hoax and the recent wave of absurd and politically motivated criminal charges against him, is unfairly manufactured. And on the issue dominating the news right now, foreign policy, Trump legitimately excelled.
Jordan and Saudi Arabia aided in the shooting down of the Abraham Accords, which the Trump administration managed to achieve diplomatically by bringing about peace in the region. Not that long ago, it would have been impossible for Israel and Arab states to collaborate with one another, especially in a Palestinian-occupied region.
Trump also managed to maintain relative calm while remaining neutral with American allies, including killing Iranian terror chief Qasem Soleimani and pursuing Russian targets in Syria. He was the first president since Carter to stop all new foreign wars.
And through all this, he was mocked by D. C.’s profoundly terrible foreign policy establishment, not to mention our free- riding European allies. Remember when Trump visited the UN and said that” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas could be seen smirking alongside his colleagues” and warned the Germans against becoming too dependent on Russian energy? Well, one new Ukraine war and an exploded Nordstream pipeline later, both of which happened on Joe Biden’s watch, who’s smirking now?
Cui Bono?
Foreign policy, however, is only Biden’s first bad news. A rational voter who is n’t bound by ideology would prefer Trump’s track record in the wake of Biden’s glaring failures, which are currently very important issues, in particular the economy and immigration. Indeed, the most recent New York Times poll, which has Trump leading in five of the six key swing states, notes that” Mr. Trump’s strength is largely thanks to gains among young, Black and Hispanic voters”. Not exactly the typical GOP demographic.
According to who is backing Trump in the polls, many voters do n’t seem to recall his presidency being as chaotic or miserable or as racist as his supporters claim. Indeed, one way of judging Biden’s competence is simply a matter of cui bono.
The government’s gravy train is moving along, and so are the excellent employees at The Atlantic Council and other organizations. have their fingers in foreign policy, and everything is alright. The rest of the nation is terrified and not as prosperous as it was prior to Trump’s presidency, at least until Covid hysteria completely destroyed the nation. ( Even now, somewhat incredibly, pro- Biden influencers think it’s a mark against Trump that he was trying to keep America’s schools open during Covid. )
Accordingly, in retrospect, Trump’s presidency looks like the inverse of Biden’s: Voters outside Washington felt safer and more prosperous, and the people who most acutely felt the pain and chaos of his presidency were inside the Beltway.  ,
Democrats were probably hoping they could once more occupy Biden’s basement and launch a campaign centered on Trump and the circus he inhabits given Biden’s obvious age and mental health issues. If the world was n’t burning up in flames and the economy were n’t in bad shape, they might have avoided doing that. The problem is that voters now only get to choose the White House’s current leader, not the one who is currently in office.
His incompetence is now the biggest issue in this election, based on how he’s handled Israel, along with every other significant issue he’s faced, and it’s difficult for voters to imagine that Biden is even capable of doing so.
