Democratic divisions over Israel policy heat up as Biden tries to keep his coalition together

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.

Well, democrats will try to replace Biden - then they’ll give us another grifter and liar and the stupid press Bimbos will believe everything that drops from the Democrat goons and thugs mouths.

Once again.

You would think they would do a retrospective on how they were so easily fooled about who Biden was... but they won’t .The press will be just as gullible with the Biden ‘replacement’ as they were with Biden. Gullible, stupid, stupid, gullible... stupid - - the MSM in a nut shell.
