Why, exactly, do Progressives support Islamic extremist groups of Israel? It’s nothing new
Wake up, Mr. President: Your support for Israel over Gaza may well cost you the election
President Joe Biden’s decision to unilaterally veto yet another United Nations cease-fire resolution on Gaza, just a week before Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary Tuesday, shows just how out of touch the president’s reelection campaign is with the progressive voters who put him in power.
Nearly 30,000 civilians have been killed in Gaza, mostly women and children, and yet the Biden administration continues to break with the majority of the Democratic base to align with – and fund – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government. Is this worth risking Donald Trump’s return to the White House and the end of American democracy?
Biden now trails Trump in seven of the past eight polls in the pivotal swing state of Michigan – by as many as 10 points in the recent CNN poll. The Biden team desperately needs a wake-up call.
That’s why Our Revolution is mobilizing tens of thousands of progressives to vote “uncommitted” in Tuesday’s Democratic primary to make sure Michigan is a megaphone for peace.
The Progressive hatred of Jews and support of Islamists almost matches their support of abortion on demand.
The initiative, kicked off by Listen to Michigan, is a strategic effort to send a clear message to the Biden campaign: Change course now on Gaza or risk alienating key voter blocs needed to defeat Trump in November. (snip)
Not only does Michigan have the largest Arab American population in the country, it’s also a historic battleground state, where the margin of victory swung from fewer than 11,000 votes for Trump in 2016 to just over 154,000 votes for Biden in 2020.
They’re actually suggesting Biden turn on Israel and throw his support to Hamas and their dangerous Palestinian supporters in order to win an election. Biden’s mostly support of Israel is one of the few things he’s done right over the last 3 years. It won’t win him Republican voters, of course. But, he mostly did good. How many of those Muslim-Americans in Michigan are refugees who still hold 3rd world and Islamic extremist views, including hatred of Jews and Israel? Heck, how many of them hate America?
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and former Rep. Andy Levin, D-Mich., are both supporting this effort, indicating the collective push from within the party to correct course, save lives and not lose to Trump. There are voters who, having lost family members in Gaza, may never vote to reelect President Biden. But, as Levin wrote in an email to Our Revolution’s members, there are many, many others who would be willing to come back to Biden if we can get him to come around on Gaza.
If you have Tlaib as a supporter, well, she’s an Islamist and supporter of Hamas, so, your moral compass is broken.
There is no doubt that this is a tough position for the Democratic party to face. American Jews are a core constituency of their party and make up not just loyal voters, but also loyal donors, loyal campaign workers, and founding members of many of the institutions and activist foundations that Democrats gain great benefits from. The Islamic faction though has the number of voters that Dems need to win. It’s a shame they can’t find enough middle ground in their mutual hatred of America to work out a compromise. I suspect they will treat both factions like the Republicans treat evangelical Christians. “What are you gonna do? Vote Republican?”
There is a strong minority of the Black community, particularly black males, who are also abandoning the Democratic party in favor of Trump. No telling if it will be enough to matter. But so far, no one is standing up as representing “Black America” and telling the Biden administration to stop doing all those things that are harmful to the black community or they will all go to Trump.
Good thing Democrats no longer need voters to win.
