(4,209 posts)... of astronomical proportions! Put aside, for the moment, the longstanding treaties, diplomatic obligations, and legal realities of U.S./Israeli relations to which Biden must adhere. Netanyahu is friend to no one but himself; the depth of his capacity for treachery is unfathomable. But Biden is obliged to deal with him as an ally regardless of his personal view of the man. He's already been working behind the scenes to rein in Netanyahu's excesses, and those of Right-wing zealots in West Bank settlements.
The shortsighted petulance of Elias, and the Muslim American population in general, in saying that they won't vote for Biden because of what Netanyahu is doing in Gaza, forgets a critical point. If, by some horrific chance, Trump wins in November, then all Muslim Americans will lose far, FAR more than they may have gained through their ill-informed stunt.
Do they all suffer from the Goldfish Syndrome? Have they already forgotten that Trump HATES them with a white hot intensity? Will they smirk with insolent satisfaction at Biden's loss even as Trump's MAGA thugs herd them into "re-education camps"? Or worse?
That's a Pyrrhic victory on steroids.
Or is little Elias actually working FOR Right-wing sociopaths to get his 30 pieces of silver? I'm sure self-absorbed Gen Zers have a capacity for treachery, too.
