Despite calls for \u200ca \u2063ceasefire \u2064from progressives, Biden has consistently supported Israel in\u2064 its battle with Hamas, even in \u200dthe face of criticism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;There are \u200cmoments in this life \u2014 and I\u2064 mean this literally \u200c\u2014 when\u200b the pure, unadulterated\u200d evil is unleashed on \u200bthis world,&#8221; \u200cBiden said in\u2064 his\u200d first public remarks after \u2062the Oct. 7 attacks \u200bin southern Israel that launched the \u200dwar. &#8220;The people \u200bof Israel \u2064lived\u200b through one such moment this weekend. The bloody \u200dhands of \u200dthe terrorist organization Hamas, a group whose stated purpose for being \u200bis\u200c to kill Jews. This was an act of sheer evil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have\u200d taken to \u2062the streets across the United States, protesting \u2062against\u200c Israel \u200band blaming Biden \u200cfor the conflict. They have even disrupted Biden&#8217;s events, making \u200btheir voices\u200d heard. However,\u200c instead\u2064 of backing down, Biden has stood\u2063 firm in his support for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s\u2064 unwavering stance has drawn criticism from younger and more liberal voters, but\u200b it may actually help him appeal \u200bto \u2064the broader middle ground. Democratic strategist T.J. Rooney\u200c argues\u2064 that\u2063 campaigns are \u2063ultimately a math\u200c problem, and\u200b by appealing to the majority rather than the extremes, Biden \u200dcan secure a larger slice of the pie.<\/p>\n<p>While some far Left voters may strongly disagree with Biden&#8217;s Israel policy,\u2064 they may\u200d not have a\u200c major party\u2063 candidate who shares \u200ctheir views \u2064in the upcoming election. This leaves them with\u2064 the choice of staying home or\u200c voting\u200b for a\u2064 third-party \u200dcandidate, \u2063a prospect that worries\u2062 Democrats. However, the fear of a Trump presidency may also push them to\u2062 support Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the potential challenges, polls show \u2064that Biden is in a tight race\u2062 with Donald\u200b Trump \u2064and other establishment GOP candidates. A\u200b significant portion of young voters\u2064 disapprove of Biden&#8217;s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, which \u2063adds to the pressure on his campaign. However, the White House \u2063remains steadfast, emphasizing \u2064that they\u200b will not govern based on polls.<\/p>\n<p>There is a generational shift\u2062 happening within the Democratic Party, with younger Democrats showing more favor towards Palestinians. However,\u2062 Biden&#8217;s support for Israel aligns\u2062 with\u200b the established U.S. foreign policy stance.\u2064 The White House maintains that the term &#8220;genocide&#8221; accurately \u2062applies to Hamas, \u200dnot Israel.<\/p>\n<p>While \u200bthe war and\u200c foreign policy may play a larger role\u2063 in\u200c the upcoming election, domestic issues \u2064will ultimately be\u200c the deciding factor. Democrats will need to focus on\u200d mobilizing their\u200c supporters and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-faces-new-democratic-pressure-on-border-ahead-of-2024-reelection-bid\/\" title=\"Biden under Democratic pressure over border before 2024 reelection.\">ensuring high voter turnout<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to \u2062read \u2063more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does President Biden&#8217;s support for Israel in the ongoing \u200bconflict align with the traditional pro-Israel stance of the Democratic Party?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  He ongoing conflict. They argue that Biden&#8217;s unwavering support for Israel is in line with\u2062 the traditional pro-Israel\u200d stance of the Democratic Party, but fails to acknowledge the \u2063plight of the Palestinians living under occupation.<\/p>\n<p>The far Left of the Democratic Party has long\u200b been critical of Israel&#8217;s treatment of the Palestinians. They argue \u2064that Israel&#8217;s policies, such as settlement expansion and restrictions on movement, amount to apartheid and human rights\u200d abuses. They see \u2062the conflict between\u200b Israel and Hamas as part of a \u200clarger issue of Israeli occupation and oppression.<\/p>\n<p>Some progressive Democrats, including members \u2063of the Squad, have called for a more even-handed approach to the conflict. They have criticized Biden for not doing enough to pressure Israel\u200b to end its\u200d military actions and seek a negotiated solution. They argue that the US, as a long-time ally of Israel and\u200b provider of military aid, has a responsibility to use its influence to promote peace.<\/p>\n<p>However, Biden&#8217;s position reflects a broader consensus within the Democratic Party. While there has been some criticism\u2062 of his\u200b handling of the situation, particularly from the progressive wing, the majority of Democrats continue to\u2063 support \u200dIsrael.\u200d They argue that Israel has a right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and that the US \u200dshould stand by its ally.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has made it clear that he believes Israel \u2064has the right \u2063to self-defense, and he has reiterated the US\u200d commitment to Israel&#8217;s security. He has mentioned \u2063the suffering of both Israelis and Palestinians but\u2062 has largely framed the\u200d conflict as a matter of Israel&#8217;s security and the fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration \u2064has also been careful to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/saving-the-postwar-order\/\" title=\"Saving the Postwar Order\">avoid taking sides<\/a> in the \u200cinternal politics of Israel. Biden\u200b has refrained from criticizing Israeli Prime\u200d Minister Naftali Bennett, who took office\u200c just a few weeks before the \u2064conflict began.\u2063 This has led some on the far Left to accuse Biden of prioritizing political interests over \u2062human rights.<\/p>\n<p>The rift between Biden and\u2064 the far Left is not only about the Israel-Hamas\u2064 war but \u2062also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/incoming-california-sen-laphonza-butlers-address-shows-her-living-in-maryland\/\" title=\"California Senator-elect Laphonza Butler resides in Maryland.\">reflects deeper divisions<\/a> within the Democratic Party. While the party has been moving left on\u2063 many issues, including healthcare, climate change, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">criminal justice reform<\/a>, support for Israel remains strong among Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c Israel-Hamas war has\u200c highlighted these divisions and forced Democrats to\u2063 confront the challenges of balancing support\u2062 for a key\u2062 ally with the need to address the grievances of the Palestinians. It remains to be seen how this will play out\u2062 in \u2063future elections\u200d and in shaping US policy towards Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>As the conflict continues, \u2063the pressure on Biden from the far\u2063 Left\u2062 is likely to increase. They will continue to demand that the US\u200b take a more proactive role\u2064 in achieving \u200da just\u200b and lasting peace between \u200bIsrael and the \u200bPalestinians.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the Israel-Hamas war \u200bhas revealed a rift between President Biden \u200cand the\u2062 far Left of the Democratic Party. While progressives argue for a more\u2062 even-handed approach, Biden has consistently supported Israel&#8217;s right\u200c to defend itself. This divide reflects deeper\u200d divisions\u200d within the party and raises \u200cimportant questions about US policy towards Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israel-Hamas war reveals a split between President Biden and the far Left of the Democratic Party.
