How the Democrats Blew It on Gaza

Less than two weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, President Joe Biden traveled to Israel and held Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an embrace. The image captured the solidarity Americans felt with Israelis after they suffered such horrific violence. It also symbolized a political and governing reflex within the Democratic Party. During the Biden presidency, it was shorthanded the "hug Bibi" strategy " the idea that smothering Mr. Netanyahu with unconditional support would give the U.S. leverage to influence his actions.

Over the final 15 months of the Biden presidency, this approach led the White House to provide a flood of weapons for Israel's bombardment of Palestinians, veto United Nations Security Council resolutions calling for a cease-fire, attack the International Criminal Court for pursuing charges against Mr. Netanyahu, ignore its own policies about supporting military units credibly accused of war crimes and blame Hamas for not accepting cease-fire terms that the Israeli government was also rejecting.

Benjamin Netanyahu's brutal pogrom against the Palestinians has now exceeded 70,000 deaths with the killing of two children in Gaza yesterday. My pencil and paper calculations this spring predicted 72,000 Palestinian deaths by the end of the year, but the ersatz ceasefire slowed down the IDF killing machine considerably, but not altogether. The ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank continues apace.

So, good luck to any American candidate from either party, Democratic or Republican, who is seeking national office in 2028 that accepts blood money from AIPAC. The hardworking American taxpayer and the multi-million strong antiwar bloc is watching. Rather than vote for Israeli Murder-Death-Kill of Palestinians, antiwar Samaritans and progressive voters will stay home on Tuesday 7 Nov 2028.

International arrest warrants issued by the ICC for war crimes remain active for Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Russia President Vladimir Putin, both of whom are filthy sides of the same murderous coin. But remember, indictments are merely allegations. Both Messrs Netanyahu and Putin are to be presumed innocent until they are proven guilty without a shadow of a doubt at international tribunals to be held for them at future dates within the Hague.

They made it the singular issue they chose to vote on and ushered in the current nightmare with their short sighted stupidity?

And no, I don't support the war in Gaza one bit.

I'm just levelheaded enough to see the bigger picture and act accordingly.
