Chris Murphy Proposes Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory: Netanyahu Isn't Fighting the War to Save His Nation, But Just to Deny Harris the Ceasefire She Craves and Thereby "Influence" the US Elections

From Mister Bo Snerdly.

Didn't Zelenskyy literally just campaign with Democrats in Pennsylvania? A state I'm guessing has a good-sized Ukranian population?

The background for this antisemitic conspiracy theory is that American Muslims insanely believe that Kamala Harris is "pro-Israel" (meaning, she is not courageous enough to speak the truth, which is that she supports all terrorism and all crimes against "non-diverse" people, of whatever country). They're withholding their support and votes, and the Democrat Party needs to give them a political deliverable -- saving their terrorist allies from a final reckoning.

This is the "Uncommitted" movement, Muslims declaring they will not vote for Harris until she demands an arms embargo against Israel. (While we continue giving Hamas and Iran money, naturally.)

The Democrats can't go that far, at least not openly. So what they need as a second-best option is for Netanyahu to voluntarily pull their fat out of the fire by allowing murderous terrorists to escape to maim, kill, and rape again.

And Murphy is angry that This Scheming Jew Netanyahu won't play ball!

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) says he's worried Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be trying to influence the U.S. presidential election by showing little interest in striking a peace deal with Hamas and instead escalating the threat of a broader war in the Middle East by aggressively confronting Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Murphy acknowledged that the prospect of peace in Gaza before Election Day does not seem likely and that Netanyahu appears to have an eye on domestic U.S. politics as he wages a bombing campaign deep into Lebanon targeting Hezbollah.

"I certainly worry that Prime Minister Netanyahu is watching the American election as he makes decisions about his military campaigns in the north and in Gaza," Murphy told CNN's Erin Burnett.

"I hope this is not true, but it is certainly a possibility that the Israeli government is not going to sign any diplomatic agreement prior to the American election as a means, potentially, to try to influence the result," Murphy said, alluding to the deep divisions among the Democratic Party over the war in Gaza.

Murphy said he hopes he is wrong in that assessment but stated that the evidence is pointing toward that conclusion.

"I don't think you have to be a hopeless cynic to read some of Israel's actions, some of Prime Minister Netanyahu's actions, as connected to the American election," Murphy said.

The lack of a peace deal in Gaza is a politically liability for President Biden and Vice President Harris most prominently in Michigan, which is home to a large population of Palestinian Americans and other people of Middle Eastern heritage.

How small-minded and provincial. Murphy is obsessed with winning the American presidential election, so he assumes everyone else in the world must have this same priority. Netanyahu isn't fighting a three-front war against Hamas, Hezballah, and Murphy's pals in Iran because of 10/7 and an intolerable 30+ years of nonstop terrorism; no, it must be because he rilly cares who's in the White House.

In addition, this is an antisemitic conspiracy theory straight up: No one would have any doubts about this if someone the left could claim was "on the right" said that American politics were controlled from Tel Aviv.

But when a leftist says the same thing, it's... what? Just Askin' Questions?

Noted Right-Wing Extremist amateur webzine Slate has written that Kamala Harris is, get this, lying about Israel. This article -- which I bet was pitched to Slate by a Harris staffer -- tries to explain to American Muslims that Kamala Harris actually supports Hamas, she's just using vague and deceptive language to say so.

But she's on the terrorists' side, American Muslims! So you should vote for her!

It wasn't so much what she said. It was how she said it.

"Israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are Hamas," Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters on Aug. 10. It was a standard line, used many, many times by officials seeking to defend Israel's ongoing war in Gaza.

But watch the video of the moment: Her discomfort is obvious. She raises her hands, palms outward, as if to say, Look. "I mean, Israel has a right ..."--and she pauses.

"... to ..."--her hands circle in the air, as if she's searching for adequate words for the situation.

"... go after the terrorists that are Hamas," she finishes at last. She sounds deeply exasperated. "But," she adds--and now her hands are clasped, her words fluent--"as I have said many, many times: They also have, I believe, an important responsibility to avoid civilian casualties."

These are the same words President Joe Biden himself has used many times to condemn civilian deaths, even as his administration has shoveled money to the Israeli war machine and provided diplomatic cover for its leaders. The difference is largely in Harris' tone.

"Sometimes, it's the music and not the words," says Jeremy Ben-Ami, director of the advocacy group J Street, which supports Palestinian self-determination. "I think there's a real sense that this is not just lip service, but she really means it, and I think that comes across."

Slate gives away the game here: This article is directed at pro-Hamas Muslims. It wants to decode Harris' Yassir Arafat-like language for them, and let them know what she's really saying:

But not everyone in the Palestinian-advocacy world is picking up the melody that Ben-Ami is hearing. For them, Harris' statements on Israel are frustratingly vague or infuriatingly routine.

...

There remain several unknowns in terms of Harris' beliefs about and plans for policy in the region if she's elected. Is it possible that Harris, who has built her campaign on a distaste for bullies, feels a true moral outrage about Israel's brutal and asymmetrical war? Does she view anti-Zionists as a voter bloc worth listening to? Would her administration depart from her predecessor's unwavering support for the Israel Defense Forces? Americans who care about the slaughter in Gaza are waiting for an unambiguous answer.

"We need more than words," says (Hamas activist] Latif. "We need action, which means an arms embargo."

But Harris can't personally take that action, as the vice president--at least not now, not without great political cost. Nor does she have much room for explicit statements of support. There is reason to believe Harris is trying to signal that she is sympathetic with the cause of Uncommitted or open to their goals. But a small yet significant number of voters, on all sides of the issue, are waiting on a more definitive answer to decide whether to cast a ballot for her. And in an election as close as this, what those voters decide she believes and plans to do in Israel-Palestine could help determine whether she wins the White House. For Latif and others, subtle signs might not be enough.

Harris may be singing their tune, but they might not hear her.

So she is "singing this tune," "subtly."

That's not me, a right-wing extremist conspiracy-theorist disinformation-pushing racist who obviously hates women, saying that. Obviously I'm a RUSSIAN operative and an unindicted J6 insurrectionist incel working with Macedonian Content Farmers to subvert our precious democracy.

Me, you can and should dismiss.

But I'm not saying this.

It's leftwing propaganda organ Slate saying this. And obviously, all claims made by leftwing propaganda mills are self-verifying and unquestionably true.

Meanwhile, Chris Murphy has himself met with Islamic State terrorists to undermine Trump's Iran policy:

David Harsanyi
@davidharsanyi

Remember when @ChrisMurphyCT secretly met with Islamic State terror regime officials in Munich -- of all places -- to undermine the Trump administration's Iranian policy?

Dem Iran coddling is a big reason Israel finds itself under attack.

Harsani links this Federalist piece about that secret meeting.

A friend tells me that Chris Murphy is also Qatar's man in the Senate -- Qatar is the sponsor and protector of Hamas, of course. I imagine Iran is a bigger sponsor, but Qatar is the second-biggest sponsor and protector.

Iran launching 200 ballistic missiles at Israel is a "flare up," and they bemoan this attack because it "poses problems for Democrats" and because it means that Kamala Harris may have to say something about it. This will interfere with her extremely anti-democratic election strategy on absolutely refusing to say what her policies might end up one day being.

My my my! How small-minded and provincial are our "cosmopolitan elites"! Everything is always about their local trivial political obsessions!
