Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a member of the far-left “Squad,” issued a direct warning to President Biden, suggesting that his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict might impact his standing among U.S. Muslim voters.
“I have been one of President Biden’s biggest supporters. I have been proud to be a partner as he has been courageous and strong on the domestic front,” Jayapal said in an interview on NBC. “The president needs to be just as courageous on this issue so that we keep the unity within our country.”
“He is, I think, going to be challenged to explain an issue of this moral significance to the American people,” she went on. “The American people are actually quite far away from where the president and even the majority of Congress has been on Israel and Gaza.’
“[Americans] support the right for Israel to defend itself and to exist, but they do not support a war crime exchanged for another war crime, and I think the President has to be careful about that. I would call on him…to bring us to a higher place,” Jayapal added, somehow arguing that responding to a historic terrorist attack is a war crime.

Both parties are probably near splits. Biden needs to courageously reject his left wing by asserting the killing Jews is not a civil right of the Muslims, just as ruling Ukraine is not a right of the Russians, or ruling Taiwan and Philippines is not a right of the Chinese. He appears to be taking this stand, and has greatly insulted the left wing of his own party, which is very anti-war, and anti-American.
The Republicans also have an isolationists wing, which opposes intervention in other country’s wars. We should hope the Republicans will also purge (or “convert”) their anti-war isolationists.
She’s right.
He will lose support from the college “educated” (read: brainwashed) younger generation.
This is why the voting among Democrats is even more important than voting for Republicans
Aha. Right. They’re all going to vote for Trump. That’ll teach Biden a lesson. Aha. Brilliant.
“The American people are actually quite far away from where the president and even the majority of Congress has been on Israel and Gaza.’”
Polling shows that roughly 70% of Americans either believe that the US is doing enough or too little to support Israel in the conflict.
It’s amazing that she actually is 100% correct. But what is most amazing is that he is not even supporting Israel, and he will still lose the Muslim vote.
But then again, who will they vote for instead?
Biden doesn’t have to worry about reelection. “They” will decide if he should “win or not”. In any case, soon he will apply pressure for a “ceasefire” to appease the Jew-haters.
How ugly! in face and in spirit
What a piece of garbage, comparing Russia – the invader, to Israel – the invaded.
