Various opinion writers are speculating that President Biden will lose support from a significant number of Democrats turned off by his vocal, unequivocal support of Israel in its counterattack on Hamas in Gaza. I wonder if this is true?
For sure they aren’t going to vote for Trump, assuming he is the GOP nominee. Trump’s support for Israel has been, if anything, even stronger than Biden’s.
Is there a third party candidate to whom they’ll gravitate? Or is it more likely they will stay home? I suppose the electoral effect is identical.
It will be interesting to learn to what extent there is an anti-Israel vote in our country. A mere handful of years ago I would have sworn it didn’t exist, beyond fringe groups. Now it looks to be real.
Joe Biden is the same kind of misguided saboteur to the US that Angela Merkel was to Germany, doing nothing while immigrants poured in unchecked. Assuming our culture survives to write it, history will treat neither leader kindly. Survival of our culture, however, is by no means assured.
Later ... Molly Ball writes a long column for the Wall Street Journal (not behind a paywall) about the split in the Democrat party between supporters of Israel and those of Hamas. She observes it has been brewing for years but Oct. 7 dragged it out into the open.
