President Joe Biden continues to push Israel to end its Rafah offensive meant to cut off Iran and Egypt’s resupply of Hamas. Biden’s embrace of Hamas is a key component to his two-state solution, not peace between Israel and the Palestinians but rather electoral victory in Michigan and Minnesota this November.
This is a crisis created by Democrats’ own cynicism. Many of Biden’s top donors are those who funded and fanned the flames of the genocide slander against Israel. Put aside the United Nations’s tacit acknowledgment that it overestimated Gaza casualties for women and children. If Hamas figures represent a genocide, then U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is equally guilty of genocide since more Americans die annually in automobile accidents than Palestinians have in Gaza since Oct. 7.
