It is widely (and, in my view, correctly) believed that Joe Biden’s turn from being a strong supporter of Israel to a critic threatening to cut off aid unless it allows hamas to survive and govern Gaza, is directly tied to the fear that supporting Israel will lose him support among Muslim voters…especially in Michigan, an important swing state in this year’s presidential election.
And as anyone who has followed Joe Biden’s career should know, when given the choice of doing the right thing or increasing his vote total, door #2 wins every time.
With that in mind, I thought you might like to know what at least some of the folks he is kissing up to think – not just about Israel (and, you can be sure, Jews in general) but about the United States as well.
From Michael Lee’s article at foxnews.com, we have this:
Protesters in Dearborn, Michigan, shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” during an International Al-Quds Day rally held in the town.
“Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America,” Tarek Bazzi, a Michigan-based activist associated with the Hadi institute, said in a video from the rally that was shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Bazzi’s comments were followed by crowds chanting “Death to America!” in the background.
Bazzi reasoned that the rallies held on the day “are so anti-America,” instead of a focus on Israel, because “it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities,” pointing to Israel’s continued siege of Gaza as an example.
The activist went on to quote Malcom X, who said the U.S. is “one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth,” while arguing to eliminate the entire American “system.”
“It’s not just Genocide Joe that has to go,” Bazzi said, referring to President Biden. “It is the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it – such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth.”
Bazzi then turned his attention to Israel, telling the audience that when “fools” ask them “if Israel has the right to exist,” the chant “Death to Israel” is “the most logical chant shouted across the world today.”
The remarks were followed by chants of “Death to Israel” from protesters in the crowd.
Lovely.
Of course (I doubt that this will surprise you) bazzi had nothing bad to say about what started this war: the massacre of 1,200 – 1,400 mostly innocent civilians, the unspeakably brutal ways they were raped/mutilated/killed, or the 250 hostages taken – about half of whom are still unaccounted for (an unknown number undoubtedly either already dead, or so debilitated that hamas will never hand them back and show what it did to them).
How many Israel and Jew haters (usually one and the same) are in favor of this “death to Israel/death to America” chant? No one knows for sure. But I don’t see any outcry in the article from people in the crowd who were appalled by those chants.
I do, however, see this:
Rallies to mark (the “pro-Palestine Al-Quds Day) have been taking place in Dearborn for at least 20 years, according to MEMRI Executive Director Steven Stalinsky, who told Fox News Digital that the town has become a “hotbed of hate for many years.”
“You can see rallies and sermons in support for Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran,” Stalinsky said, noting that the threats emanating from the city have become even more pronounced since the October Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.
The lesson that should be taken from this? It is that as Joe Biden (with the support of all too many other Democrats) goes further and further toward selling out Israel, we should never forget that these folks and their sympathizers, are who he is doing it to impress; to get support from; to get votes from.
Is that worth remembering on election day? You tell me.
