Joe panders to the pro-Hamas crowd and praises their “passion”

The New Neo Posted on by

Here’s how Biden reacted to a disruption from pro-Hamas demonstrators while he was speaking at a South Carolina church:

He acknowledges their “passion,” which puts me in mind of this old essay of mine on romanticism and terrorism, which begins with this Isaiah Berlin quote:

[Romantics] believed in the necessity of fighting for your beliefs to the last breath in your body …they believed in the value of martyrdom as such, no matter what the martyrdom was for….

We on the right already know that Biden has been talking out of both sides of his mouth on the war in Gaza, based not on principles but on his pressing need to please both sides of his party – pro- and anti-Israel – prior to November 2024. It makes for a muddled and unreliable message to Israel and a weak and vulnerable one to the terrorists.

Nor does Biden explain how Israel can survive without staying in Gaza to do the task it set out for itself post-10/7. Nor does he explain why rewarding the terrorists with a pullout would be a good thing at this point. These are not his concerns. Trying to win an election in 2024 is his concern.

  1. but maga hats are the real insurrectionists, considering the sentiments of anonymous staff persons, and those on the record like amy mcfadden, a more down scale version of paul pillar, he got everything wrong rose to the top of the cia’s analytical section

  2. Biden and the greater Democrat party have spent years courting those that are enablers of the vile troglodytic enemies of Western Civilization. These are enablers of people who openly cheer for genocide of the Jewish people and psycopaths who would gleefully burn, loot, murder, and rape under the pretenses of decolonization and antizionism and racial justice or any other nonsense and sophistry they can come up with.

    They’ve made their bed.

  7. Hey! What’s the fuss all about?
    Our “President” similarly “understands” the passion of antifa and BLM.
    (After all, he’s responsible for encouraging it…and funding it.)
    Not to mention the passion of all those illegals pouring across the border—he’s responsible for that as well.

    And, of course, Son of Soros is a fixture at the WH….
    (Wha’s that ye’ say? The Illustrious Family that promotes the breakdown of Law ‘n Order?)

    Heh, President Fentanyl-Tranq (love those hyphenated names! So English!!) is encouraging that too! He understands!

    Well, some Liberals are waking up…. but not exactly for the most cogent of reasons.
    Still, better late than never….

    File under: Biden-Harris in 2024! (Because Racist America Deserves to be Taken DOWN!!)

  9. “Biden has been talking out of both sides of his mouth on the war in Gaza, based not on principles but on his pressing need to please both sides of his party – pro- and anti-Israel – prior to November 2024.”

    Caught between the proverbial “rock and a hard place”. Result: both sides are displeased…

    Reportedly, Napoleon once advised his generals;
    “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

  10. Yep…let’s just let Joe speak off the cuff like that and give away that he no more supports Israeli sovereignty & self-defense than he supports the charges against POTUS Trump being dropped.

    The US is so screwed…

  11. I watched the event on live TV. IMO, it was staged. Joe is not that good at ad-libbing. Expect more such staged events. Just like January 6th.

  12. as with most of his outings, it really doesn’t make much sense, unless you consider that has been the policy all along,

    you can the pro israel figures in the administration on one hand,

  14. Caroline Glick, JNS, “Victory is more important than US support”: https://www.jns.org/victory-is-more-important-than-us-support/

    During his visit Tuesday, Blinken took the unprecedented step of meeting privately with Minister Benny Gantz and Knesset member Gadi Eisenkot. In the wake of the Oct. 7 invasion, Gantz and Eisenkot brought their leftist opposition party into the government to form an emergency unity coalition. The administration has been all but explicit about its intention to use these men and their party to overthrow the Netanyahu government.

    Immediately after their meeting, reports began to stream in that Gantz’s inclination to leave the government is growing. Blinken and the administration see two scenarios for Gantz to seize power. Either Gantz can incite a revolt in Likud that can lead to Netanyahu’s ouster and the formation of an alternative government led by Gantz in the current Knesset; or by working with the administration, Gantz can force Netanyahu to accept pro-Palestinian policies that will compel Smotrich and Ben-Gvir to bolt the government. If they leave and Gantz remains in the coalition, Netanyahu will become completely dependent on Gantz to remain in power.

    Under both scenarios, the administration believes that it will be in a position to force Israel to crown the terrorist Fatah-led Palestinian Authority as the new leader of Gaza. That in turn will set the stage for a massive pressure campaign to coerce the Gantz-controlled government to make massive strategic concessions to the P.A. in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem that will facilitate the establishment of a Palestinian state.

    Blinken’s statements on the topic were nearly bereft of diplomatic niceties.

    “As I told the prime minister, every [Arab] partner that I met on this trip said that they’re ready to support a lasting solution that ends the long-running cycle of violence and ensures Israel’s security. But they underscored that this can only come through a regional approach that includes a pathway to a Palestinian state,” he said.

    “To make this possible, Israel must be a partner to Palestinian leaders who are willing to lead their people in living side by side in peace with Israel and as neighbors,” he continued, adding, “and Israel must…stop taking steps that undercut Palestinians’ ability to govern themselves effectively.”

    Doubling down on his practice of slandering Israelis as the moral equivalents of terrorists, Blinken then libeled the half million Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria as well as IDF forces operating in these areas.

    “Extremist settler violence carried out with impunity, settlement expansion, demolitions, evictions all make it harder, not easier, for Israel to achieve lasting peace and security,” he said.

    Further

    As for Hezbollah, the government must stop participating in the destructive farce of U.S. diplomacy. Instead, Israel should strike missile stores and terrorist barracks and be prepared to carry out a ground operation in the immediate term.

    Israel must defeat Hezbollah. It is the only way Israelis in northern communities will be able to live safely in their homes.

    If the United States retaliates by placing a weapons embargo on Israel, then Israel must make do with what it has and what it can produce. Use of imprecise missiles will expand collateral damage, but it will also win the war faster at less risk to IDF soldiers.

    Since entering office, the Biden administration has treated Israel with colonialist contempt. Rather than respect Israel as an independent ally, Biden and his aides have acted like imperial overlords barking orders at a backwater, troublesome province.

    Despite the pressure, Netanyahu and his ministers must remember that Israel is not a vassal state. We are a successful regional power. It is Israeli power, not U.S. charity that has sustained us to date. And it is Israeli power, not U.S. largesse that will bring us victory in this war for our survival. If forced to choose between support from Washington and victory, the choice is an easy one.

  15. “…both sides are displeased…”

    Indeed, the pro-Hamas types just can’t understand why “Biden” doesn’t stand with them in their goal to eradicate the Zionist Entity.

    They really should have more faith in “him”….

  16. …wherein the author of this pathetic piece does not have the slightest clue as to what’s going on…

    “Columnist Richard Goldberg says Biden’s Iran strategy of appeasement has failed….”

    To the contrary, the policy is NOT “appeasement” and it most certainly HAS NOT FAILED.
