NeverTrump Fatsos and Softcocks Are Coping and Seething About Joe Biden's Betrayal of Israel

But, but, but but he brought honor and dignity back to the White House.

I was told America is back, baby. Was I misinformed? Is America not in fact back, baby?

I expect him to reverse this statement when he gets angry calls from his Democrat donors.

Bet against me.

Via Duane Patterson at Hot Air:

Joe Biden deserves nothing but condemnation, censure, and withering contempt for his announcement tonight that he will withhold significant amounts of the recently approved aid to Israel should the government begin a full-on siege of the last Hamas redoubt in, around, and under Rafah.

For seven months now, I have defended Joe Biden. On our podcast and on this website, I have repeatedly said that while the president may have felt--wrongly, in my view--that he needed to maintain some rhetorical space from Israel because of the imagined need to keep young people and Arab-Americans in his electoral camp, the actual policies and support he was offering and providing the Jewish state were consistent and solid.

I defended him for months as he took more and more anti-Israel actions because I understand his need to placate the Muslims in Michiganistan.

But they impeached Trump for asking Ukraine for evidence about Biden's interference in that country's internal politics.

For months, for example, he pushed for a significant aid package even as he criticized tactics and strategies employed by the IDF to fight in Gaza. And he supplied important logistical support to protect Israel--first by deploying ships to the Lebanese coast to deter Hezbollah and then in the air campaign that rendered the direct Iranian attack all but harmless.

That was then, this is now. That aid package he fought for? He's now blocking much of it himself--and is promising to do worse in days to come. That support for Israel? He is now pursuing policies that are designed to keep Hamas alive. This long-time friend of Israel? At an incredibly critical moment, he is giving Barack Obama a run for his money as a singularly destructive American "ally." We're told the decision to act this way came last week but that Biden wanted to keep it quiet until he delivered his speech commemorating the Holocaust.

...

Israel's cause is just. Hamas's cause is evil. Biden has now made affirmative moves to keep Hamas alive. A moral reckoning will ensue, and so will a political reckoning. And so will the judgment of history itself.

Who could have guessed this infinitely-corrupt, stupid political animal and credibly-accused rapist would turn out to be a bad guy?

Fwiw. I've heard from a LOT of reliably anti-Trump people - I mean really, really, anti-Trump people - who have had it with Biden tonight. Anecdotal, to be sure. But very telling in my circle.

So Jonah, now that he's betrayed you on your highest priority, it's okay not to support Biden in his heroic quest to Save American Democracy? We were all evil when we chose Trump because the Democrats (and the Republican branch of the Uniparty) were screwing us on the American border, but now that the Israeli border is threatened, it's moral and right to abandon Biden?

Preen harder you fat fuck. Preen your bloated heart out.

Obviously I support Israel, strongly.

But allow me to be like the millionth person to ask this of the neocons: Is Israel the only nation worth defending?

Boo
@IzaBooboo

There is no discernible good strategy here from any angle. This will not gain him back votes from the hard left and it will turn far more people against him. Just from a purely political move it makes no sense.

@JonahDispatch

That's the main reason it's so infuriating -- it's bad policy and bad politics. It's a wholly futile gesture that will win over no one.

So what you're saying is, if it were better politics and would win over more pro-terrorist voters in Michiganistan, then you would support Biden's decision to rescue Hamas from its final reckoning?

So the "main frustration" is not that the policy is pro-terrorist and an objective evil, but only that the policy won't help Biden beat Trump?

Keep cashin' them checks, Jonah. Keep cashin' dem Pay-4-Play checks.

You grotesque globular blobular Rent-a-Pundit, go fuck yourself in the heart with a knife.

Just ten hours before Biden announced he was withholding Congressionally-authorized arms sales to Israel, Democratic propaganda front The Bulwark assured its neocon readers that Biden was still a super-patriot on Israel:

In the sidebar, I used my well-known psychical powers to predict their next propaganda offensive:

Their next article will argue that Biden is trying to be a great friend to Israel -- real friends tell their friends when they're doing wrong, right? Real friends cut you off drinking at a bar when you've had too many. And the best friends of all cut off your armament lifeline when you're in an existential fight with terrorists.

So here's richly-paid Democrat Propagandist Bill Kristol to shore up "Republican" NeverTrump support for Biden.

How close did I come in my prediction?

In yesterday's newsletter, we summed up Joe Biden's position on Israel's war in Gaza, as his administration has laid it out for months, like this: "Israel should do more to minimize civilian casualties, but those casualties are ultimately the responsibility of Hamas, and the United States believes Israel has the right to strain every nerve to root Hamas out of Gaza."

Well, maybe not every nerve. The news from Biden's sit-down interview with CNN's Erin Burnett last night was an ultimatum from Biden to Israel: If you forge ahead with your invasion of Rafah--Hamas's last stronghold--the United States won't be providing the bombs for you to do it.

Now he's going to tell "Republican" NeverTrumpers to ignore what Biden just said, because he was probably just running his mouth and didn't mean any of it, really.

A few questions to consider as you think about all of this.

First, how big a deal is this? Something very much like this has happened before. In fact, it's basically happened in every war Israel has fought. Biden has joined the roster of American presidents--including Dwight Eisenhower in 1956, Richard Nixon in 1973, Ronald Reagan in 1982, and George W. Bush in 2006--in pressuring Israel not to wage wars quite as their government might have planned, or to bring wars to a close more quickly than Israel's government might have wished. And many of those efforts by earlier American administrations involved pauses or restrictions on arms shipment to Israel, or other forms of pressure.

"Everybody does it!"

So, is this just par for the course, or is this time different? How much of this is the normal friction of foreign policy between allies in a time of war? Or is this something more?

He decides that Biden just wants to make sure Israel has a good plan for avoiding civilian casualties.

But one can say this: It had seemed that the U.S. position had been that if Israel were going to go into Rafah, they had to show they had a real plan and were making a real effort to mitigate as much as possible with consequences for civilians. But is it the failure to make adequate provision for civilians that Biden is now objecting to? Or is it going into Rafah at all? It sounds from the interview like the latter. But Israel has been saying for months that they're going to have to finish the job of dealing with Hamas, which means going into Rafah. So why this change in U.S. policy, if it is one?

He's pretending that he was unaware that Biden and Kirby and Blinken have not made a steady stream of accusations against Israel and have not repeatedly threatened to cut aid to Israel if they didn't stop their war on Hamas.

He's pretending that Biden is still keeping his vow from six months ago, that he supported the elimination of Hamas.

Despite the fact that he is now Hamas' most important defender and guardian.

Which brings us a second question. Why did President Biden choose to offer these thoughts in the middle of an interview during a trip to Wisconsin focused on the economy and jobs? There are reasons that when presidents make important foreign policy statements, they tend to read a prepared text and have other administration officials lined up and ready to explain and amplify.

Obviously it was perfectly appropriate for Erin Burnett to ask the questions she did. But it would have been equally appropriate for President Biden to say that we're in sensitive and complicated discussions with the Israeli government on these issues, and I'm not discussing any of that right here on CNN.

But Biden didn't take this course.

Isn't this a surprising lack of discipline from an experienced president? Which has real consequences in making the policy harder to understand here at home, and for those inclined to agree with it, harder to defend, in the political maelstrom that we're already seeing.

"A surprising lack of discipline from an "experienced" (read: demented and dying) president?"

Are you fucking kidding me? THIS IS A "SURPRISING" LACK OF DISCIPLINE? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD BIDEN SPEAK? HE CLAIMS HIS UNCLE WAS EATEN BY FUCKING CANNIBALS AND THAT JAPAN IS XENOPHOBIC AND MISOGYNIST.

No, it wouldn't be a surprising lack of discipline if this were a slip-up.

But it's not a slip-up. He has been telegraphing the Pivot to Hamas for months and months, and he specifically went on Erin Burnett to announce the new policy, and make sure his terrorist voters in Michiganistan heard all about it.

He's trying to sell his readers on the line that Biden is really, really still in Israel's corner, he just had a "speak-o" on CNN, and all of this talk of cutting aid during a war with terrorists is perfectly normal and routine, he just wants to make sure Israel has a really good plan for avoiding civilian casualties.

It's not exactly what I predicted, but it's close.

Bill Kristol, proud NeverTrumper and intellectual, who just wants to restore dignity and honesty to American public discourse.

Another fat fuck. Another Egg on Legs. He's got tits like double-stuffed hoagies.

Get another 12 covid boosters, Bill.

None of this is remotely surprising. Obama was notoriously anti-Israel and pro-Iran and pro-Arab. And the Obamabots control this ancient withered husk.

The failed novelist who is said to share a brain with Obama -- let me think about Obama's IQ; okay, sharing a brain with another person checks out -- says Biden is pursuing the exact right policy that he told him to pursue.

Ben Rhodes @brhodes

This is the right decision by Biden - to condition aid and do it publicly. There cannot be a blank check for the Israeli government to escalate a humanitarian catastrophe that is making no one safer. Backs up words with actions and aligns with US and intl law.

"Intl law." Fuck you.

I can't find David French's latest emissions on Twitter, because he's boycotting it like every other softcock libfag, but I did find this:

The Presbyterian Church of America is inviting David French, one of then nastiest and most polarizing Regime thought enforcers, to speak about politics in a "polarizing time."

Perfect! That's his specialty!
