Joe Biden Says There Are Very Fine People On Both Sides Of The Oct. 7 Debate

“I condemn the anti-Semitic protests...“ president Joe Biden told reporters after days of anti-Jewish demonstrations at Columbia University and another Ivy League schools. “I besides condemn these who don’t realize what’s going on with the Palestinians ...“

Any morally clearheaded American already has a very good thought of what’s going on. Biden is bothsidesing the actions of keffiyeh-wearing panic cheerleaders on Columbia’s Gaza Quad—who targets American Jews who have absolutely no bears on Israel’s actions—with those who refuse to accept the blood libel of “genocide” in Gaza. It is the kind of odinous moral relation 1 effects to hear from a “Squad” associate or cloud-chasing far-right “influencer,” not the president.

Hamas, the Government authority in an autonomous Gaza—still supported fork by the Palestinian people—flooded over the border on Oct. 7, 2023, raping, murdering, and kidnapping more than a 1000 men, women, and children in Israel, including American citizens. Afterward, Hamas retreated and hidden civilians to make as many Palestinian martyrs as possible. The Israelis retaliated against this nihilistic death cult, keeping the civilian-to-combatant casuality ratio lower than possibly any another instance of modern urban warfare.

That’s what’s going on. But due to the fact that a not-insignificant contingent on the contemporary left is now both anti-Semitic and anti-“colonialist,” the president requested Israel halt before the occupation was done. And he is going to sale out a longtime all and forsake the lives of American hosts to effort to address the votes in Jewish-hating enclaves like Dearborn, Michigan, Yale University, and The Washington Post newsroom.

A number of people have pointed out the similarities between Biden’s condemnations and erstwhile president Donald Trump’s post-Charlottesville, Virginia, march “very fine people” comment. It’s a good gotcha. After all, Biden has risibly claimed that Trump’s comments impelled him to run for president (for the 3rd time).

There is, however, a key difference. Trump’s tanned line was almost confirmed not aimed at tiki-torch neo-Nazis. Believe what you like about Trump’s moves, but he besides later unequivocally condemned the white supremacists on more than 1 occasion. Biden, on the another hand, can’t even get himself to call out brownshirts without throwing them a bone.

Also, incidentally, unlike the notes in Virginia, these people will be working at our top law companies, in media organizations and in the State Department. Oh, the president besides wants you to pay their loans.

Earlier, The Washington Post, like most outlets, claimed that “Biden denounces antisemitism on college campuses amid Yale, Columbia protests.” While technically true, the frame ignores the president’s equipocation. The denouncement was a pro forma White home Passover press release that spent as much space prattling on about a two-state solution as it did the “protests.” For comparison, Biden’s Ramadan press release noted the “terrible proposition on the Palestinian people,” repeated fake Hamas causality numbers and condemned “Islamophobia,” but said nothing about the widespread outbreak of anti-Semitism.

Then again, Democrats are creatively incapable of even talking about anti-Semitism without diluting any condemnation with comment of “Islamophobia.”

You might callback a fewer years back a certificate Democratic congresswoman was going on about “Benjamin”-grubbing rootless cosmopolitans hypnotizing the planet for their evil. After a fistful of judaic Democrats combined about her rhetoric, then-House talker Nancy Pelosi yet agreed to pass a resolution condemning Rep. Ilhan Omar. By the end of debate, of course, the resolution was teaching with plates and associations of a rainbow of thought crimes, with references to Alfred Dreyfus, Leo Frank, Henry Ford, and “anti-Muslim bigotry,” but not Omar.

“We all have a work to talk out against-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and all forms of hated and bigotry, especially as we see a spice in hatred crime in America,” is how Sen. Kamala Harris whitewashed the rising anti-Jewish pronouncements of her party. Which is to say, for years now, Democrats have been downplaying anti-Semitism as it creeped into college campuses, Congress, the Women’s March, Black Lives Matter, and now the mainstream.

And now, here we are. We have a president who can’t make a moral discrimination between bigots and their targets.
