WASHINGTON—Responding to fallout from the Israeli military’s killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, President Biden made an address Thursday asserting that Israel had an obligation not to harm his reelection chances.
“Let me be clear: Israel is bound by international law not to engage in any activities that undermine my ability to win a second term,” said Biden, emphasizing that if Israel did not reverse course and end civilian casualties soon, then progressive and Arab American voters were at extreme risk of sitting out November’s general election. “
Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have spoken on several occasions about the importance of keeping me in power, and he has assured me he will do everything he can to mitigate any domestic political fallout in the United States. Still, the damage this war has done to my polling cannot be ignored.” At press time, Biden quietly signed off on sending another 2,000 bombs to Israel to ensure he was reelected.
Nikki Haley and Joe Biden both received 1.5Million dollars from israeli lobbies this election.
Meanwhile and Trump just got 100k from israeli lobbies.
So israel certainly doesn’t seem to prefer Trump over Biden. Trump actually seems to be their least preferred option.
In other words, Trump is bought cheaper.
Possibly. Trump will still likely not be better than Biden but israel certainly seem to have preferred Nikki Haley or Biden over him.
Especially their heavy push for the now dead in the water Nikki Haley is interesting.
I think you’re mis-reading it. My take on it is that they already have Trump in their pocket, so why pay? They also have much more info than we do e.g. maybe Trump will not be the Republican nominee after all, maybe he’ll be barred from running, in prison etc. so I wouldn’t say this means Israel prefers Biden over Trump.
But yes Israeli aggression will be much worse and much more flagrant with Trump in power in the U.S.
In that case why did they invest so much in Nikki Haley to dethrone Trump?
Don’t get me wrong I don’t think Trump will actually be an improvement over Biden because he’s already on the Genocide tone, but it is just very odd that in action (funding) Trump is their last pick. Trump is also hunkering for cash pretty bad so bribing him now would be prime time.
Lmao yea, good point.
Get your facts out of here! We want to blindly believe things that sound good to make us feel more comfortable with our vote.
