He also said that the danger posed by another Trump term doesn’t excuse Biden from scrutiny but “actually makes him more subject to scrutiny.”

To leftists and progressives fed up with Biden, particularly his commitment to Israel as it continues to bomb civilians in Gaza, the assessment was not just fair — it was obvious. But more centrist Democrats, including those most likely to have appended “Blue Wave” and “Resistance” labels to their social media accounts in the Trump years, were appalled at what they saw as a betrayal by one of their own.

    I disagree with Biden about Israel, but it’s genuinely a hard decision. He thinks it’s more important for the US to be seen aiding an ally who suffered a sneak attack. Disagree with him about it, hate him for it, but he has a very good point.

    Contrast that with Donnie’s declaration that he’d let Russia attack Europe.

    We should have been harsher on Israel for the apartheid government starting decades ago. Many presidents and many congresses are to blame for that failure.
