Bibi go home.
Joe Biden’s re-election prospects were foretold early on in the Michigan presidential primary held last February.
Michigan is a state with over 300,000 Muslim and Arab voters. Over 100,000 Michigan Democrats refused to vote for Joe Biden because of his support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
As Michael Moore points out this morning:
You cannot win the White House without Michigan. Right now, because of President Biden’s fatal mistake of his time in office — his funding and arming of Netanyahu’s slaughter and mass starvation of innocent civilians and children in Gaza — Michigan, a state with 300,000 Arab and Muslim voters, turned intensely against Biden and the Democrats who had, in 2020, received 60% of Michigan’s Arab/Muslim vote. Now the polls show the Dems will get only 15% of that vote this year — a massive 45% drop!
Over the past year, young people have led the movement for a ceasefire and an end to the war on Palestine.
This past Spring witnessed over 500 Pro-Palestine actions on U.S. campuses.
Those same young voters rejected Biden by huge percentages out of disgust for his support for Israel, labeling him “genocide Joe”.
Just as the Democratic Party leadership stupidly cleared the field of any challengers to Biden a year ago, they are doing the same for Kamala Harris now.
I hope Kamala has learned something from the Biden fiasco and will announce an end to U.S. support for Israel and Netanyahu.
If not, I fear Trump will continue to maintain his lead in the polls and his chances for another term.
Benjamin Netanyahu arrives in the United States today for a three-day visit and a speech to a join session of Congress at the invitation of MAGA House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Interestingly a recent poll indicated that 72% of Israelis want him to resign, either now or after the war. Just 30% said they think he's the person most fit to be prime minister.
Those are numbers that are worse than Joe Biden had before his announcement yesterday.
Netanyahu will be meeting with Biden, Harris and Trump while he is here.
"Fuck him," Trump said about Netanyahu in April 2021 during a rant over Netanyahu congratulating Biden for winning the presidency in 2020.
Thousands of peace protesters are expected to greet Bibi when he speaks to Congress on Wednesday.
Protesters plan to surround the Capitol to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza even as Israeli forces continue to intensify the slaughter.
