Biden’s bargain

Published April 11, 2024 9:00pm ET



On April 3, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told an audience at the Boston Islamic Center that she believes there is “ample evidence” that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza. Having attached to Israel the least true and most libelous label she could think of, she then said she wanted to “get past a labels argument.” Instead, she proposed chastising the Jewish state on moral grounds. What Israel is doing, she said, is “wrong.” So Israel’s forces must stop fighting terrorists who openly intend to destroy the Jewish state and, should Warren bother to acquaint herself with their charter, all Jews anywhere.

Warren did not condemn Hamas and its bestial war on Israel. She did not demand that Hamas release the 130 hostages it currently holds. Nor did the feminist breaker of glass ceilings mention that released hostages have testified to endemic sexual abuse. This, like all of Hamas’s conduct, would be a war crime were it not carried out against Jews. Warren’s constituents in Cambridge, Massachusetts, are big on “anti-racism,” pronouns, and environmental panic. They think Warren is just great. They are, as they once said about former President Donald Trump, “complicit” with Warren as she sides with the real génocidaires.
