American President’s have ALWAYS gotten the Memo….
Support Israel….
You may have issues with the guys running Israel….
But coming out against the COUNTRY Israel OUT-LOUD will cost ya….
Even IF the images in the media show the destruction in Gaza and the humanitarian suffering….
(Biden is trying to help those in Gaza and pleading un-successfully for a cease fire )
Biden IS aware of the memo….
Some Democratic House members are learning about it…..
At least four House Democrats affiliated with the left-wing “Squad” faction are facing serious primary threats next year, fueled by their vocal criticism of Israel’s war against Hamas in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
Why it matters: These primaries, pitting the most progressive lawmakers against more traditional liberals, will offer a clear test of the ideological direction of the Democratic Party.
- They’re also a barometer of how much space there is within the party for hostility toward Israel in the aftermath of the deadliest attack against Jews since the Holocaust.
- Progressives, especially younger ones, have grown increasingly critical of Israel in recent years. But polls in the first few weeks after Oct. 7 indicated a spike in Democratic support for the Jewish state.
Context: The initial Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack killed more than 1,400 people inside Israel. According to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, more than 9,700 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in nearly a month of war.
- Biden officials are pushing for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting to allow more aid to flow. Israel’s government hasn’t allowed a temporary ceasefire unless Hamas frees the hundreds of hostages it kidnapped.Driving the news: The four Democratic lawmakers facing competition from the party’s center are Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), Summer Lee (D-Pa.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
…
The bottom line: In recent years, we’ve seen a proliferation of more extreme views within both parties, with party leaders largely unable to crack down against the ideologically driven rebels.
- If more-moderate Democrats end up ousting several of the most far-left members in the Democratic caucus, it would be an atypical development that shows there’s still a political constituency for the mainstream majority…..
