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.

I have noticed, he isn’t calling Palestinian leadership, war criminals, like he was with Putin. Palestinian leadership should be rounded up prosecuted and hung.

He’s not trying to do anything. He’s barely cognizant of what is going on. Most of those running him are anti Jew and anti Israel. Any infighting is largely about how to not help Israel and still look good to the American public.

Presently, Gavin Newsom is the most likely Democrat Party candidate for President. IMHO

Looks as though no one told the reporter that Cornell West is running for President as an Independent, and that he’s in OPEN SUPPORT of the Palestinians - which will make things interesting, in that the Democrat base CLEARLY supports the massacre of Israelis also.

The Democrat party are all anti semitic .Only a few have blatently made it known without fear of repercussions. Namely “the squad”.

“...Most of those running him are anti Jew and anti Israel...”

Yes, and many are themselves self loathing Jews like Raskin, Adam Shitt and Shumer. The USA has the highest population of extreme self-hating Jews in the world, all of them Marxist and all of them in the democrat party.

No doubt about Newsom making it official soon. I anticipate Briben will announce he is tired of presidenting the day after Thanksgiving.

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