The longstanding leftist/Islamic alliance has never seen this much strain. Will it be enough to bring down the Biden regime and Democrat Party hegemony? It’s possible.
As enraged pro-Hamas demonstrators recently tried to break down the gate surrounding the White House and storm the grounds, high-profile Muslim leaders warned Old Joe and his henchmen that they couldn’t count on the support of haters of Israel unless the Biden regime forced the Jewish state to accept a ceasefire. A ceasefire may seem like a reasonable request at first glance, which is why the pro-Hamas forces are couching their demands in this language, but if Israel stopped fighting short of its goal to destroy Hamas utterly, it would essentially amount to a surrender to Hamas and other jihad groups. They would live again to massacre more Israeli civilians another day.
And so Ibrahim Hooper of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a longtime master at manipulating public opinion, professed at the Washington demonstration to be motivated solely by humanitarian concerns: “The main goal of everyone right now is a cease-fire,” the old dissembler said, adding: “You can’t do anything without a cease-fire − you can’t do humanitarian aid, you can’t treat the wounded, you can’t even remove bodies until there’s a cease-fire. Nothing should get in the way of a humanitarian cease-fire.” Nothing! Not even Israel’s self-defense and fight for its own survival.
Playing bad cop to Hooper’s good cop was his CAIR colleague, Nihad Awad, the co-founder and longtime national executive director of the unsavory organization. While Hooper talked humanitarianism, Awad was ready to hit Old Joe where it hurts and make sure that the addled corruptocrat understood exactly what was happening: “The language that President Biden and his party understand,” Awad thundered, “is the language of votes in the 2023 elections and our message is: No cease-fire, no votes.”
Awad couldn’t have made his point more clearly if he had been in a plane, skywriting over the White House. He added: “No votes in Michigan, no votes in Arizona, no votes in Georgia, no votes in Nevada, no votes in Wisconsin, no votes in Pennsylvania.” These were, of course, the states that allowed Old Joe to pretend to be president over the last three years. But not this time. Awad concluded: “No votes for you anywhere if you don’t call for a cease-fire now.”
Awad was echoing the ever-winsome Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah), who asserted on Friday that “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people.” Oh, you missed the genocide of the Palestinian people? That’s only because it never happened. The Palestinian people numbered close to two million in 1990, and they number over five today. That’s a 155% growth rate over thirty-two years, making Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians one of the most remarkably inefficient such operations in human history. Nonetheless, Tlaib, like the good leftist that she is, doubled down on her lie, adding: “The American people won’t forget. Biden, support a cease-fire now. Or don’t count on us in 2024.”
Meanwhile, Meredith Weisel of the hard-left Anti-Defamation League offered a lamentably weak response, saying of the Washington demonstration: “There was zero acknowledgment of Israeli suffering, and a lot of legitimizing and justification for violence against Israelis. Surely there are people there today who are responding to the humanitarian crisis. But most of the people we have have seen on the stage have been justifying what happened on Oct. 7.”
Not much better can be expected from the thoroughly compromised ADL, but Weisel missed the opportunity to point out that there actually was no “humanitarian crisis” in Gaza. While Hamas has been claiming that Gaza is on the brink of mass starvation, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) issued a report Saturday that noted that “food reserves are sufficient for the near term. There is no food shortage. International organizations are permitted to bring food aid into the Gaza Strip.” Why trust Israel and not Hamas? Because Hamas has been shown repeatedly to be lying recently, most notoriously in claiming Israel hit a hospital and killed 500 people, when it turned out that Palestinian Islamic Jihad hit a hospital parking lot with an errant rocket and killed ten people. Meanwhile, what Israel has stated about the conflict has been accurate.
In any case, Old Joe and the Democrats are now caught between a rock and a hard place. If they abandon Israel utterly, they risk losing the votes of Jews and supporters of Israel, who still generally deny the evidence of their senses and vote Democrat. If, however, they continue to offer the weak support to Israel they’ve given so far, Tlaib and Awad will make good on their threats. The leftist/Islamic bloc, however, is caught between a rock and a hard place as well. If they don’t vote for Old Joe, for whom will they vote? The most pro-Israel president in history? How this game of chicken will play out is anybody’s guess.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Looks to me like CAIR is just sulking around over the violent behavior of those Hamas supporters from the so called Religion of Peace
Noah Andeark says
I learned that the terrorists at CAIR worship the made-up moon-god “allahahaha”, and hang on the words of the pedophile pig-faced dog, mohammed.
Annie45 says
Trashida Tlaib and Awad of CAIR are so very concerned about humanitarian
aid to the Gazans. Yet we never hear a peep from them about the well-known
fact that Hamas uses Gazans – women and children – as human shields. They
put the civilians of Gaza directly in the line of fire which doesn’t bother the
humanitarian-obsessed Tlaib and CAIR at all.
Also, why aren’t they demanding that Egypt take Palestinians in Gaza into the
Sinai as refugees- if they’re so worried about Palestinian safety? Millions of
Ukrainian refugees have been taken in by the countries of Europe – so why
can’t Egypt do the same for war refugees in Gaza? Millions of Syrian refugees
have been able to flee to Muslim Arab countries. Why aren’t Tlaib and
supposedly caring CAIR loudly castigating Muslim Arab countries who are also
refusing to take in the war-trapped people in Gaza?
Because how else could these Jew-hating Muslim fiends – Trashida and her
trashy CAIR cohorts – drum up charges of war crimes against the Israelis.
Even if they have to endanger Gazan lives while proclaiming how much they
care as they do it.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Trashida.” That’s funny. I call her Ragheada Tlaibia.
She’s as scummy as the Gazans.
Angel Jacob says
That’s what the islamic terrorists do. Either terrorism, lies or threats.
Noah Andeark says
I suspect that Jojo will appease the terrorists at CAIR. I’ve been reading that Jews are the latest in firearm purchases. Perhaps Jojo will adopt his mentor Adolf’s tactics and prohibit Jews from owning firearms. He wants to eliminate the ability of Americans to defend themselves, and it will start with the Jews.
Jason P says
Could Biden be brought down by his left flank just as LBJ was? After LBJ dropped out, Nixon, who had previously lost, was elected.
JQR-S says
Does a day go by without Ibrahim Hooper Nihad Awad, & Rashida Tlaib (all Muslims) issuing a violent or retaliatory threat against somebody ?
Jeff Bargholz says
Or a day without eating a pile of turds?
Famous Carpenter says
So CAIR is taking their own voters hostage now? Not a lot of out of the box thinkers in this group.
Intrepid says
Fine with me. No Muslim votes for Biden if there is no cease fire. Guarantees a Trump victory. Muslims won’t vote for Trump and his pro Israel stance either.
If anything Trump will not restrain Israel. And Biden can’t force a cease fire anyway, no matter how much money Biden threatens to withhold from Israel.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah moslems comprise what, 2% of the population? Their votes don’r matter outside of Dearborn and Minnisota. Those scum hole places don’t matter and neither do they but the less of them who vote for crooked Alzheimer Joe, the better.
Let the idiots shoot themselves in their genitals. Let’s just watch them bleed and laugh.
DARRYL NELSON says
CAIR is part of Hamas and is a legitimate military target as far as I am concerned.
Atikva says
First, let us remind that there is and never was any Palestine country – therefore no ‘Palestinians.’ Which reminds me of this exchange between a teacher and one of her students, who introduced himself saying:
“I am Palestinian’.
” ??”
“Actually, Syrian”
Much against the aim pursued by its perpetrators, the 7 October massacre will have one positive aspect, which is to expose the obvious but until now overlooked truth: there is indeed an islamo-communist clique and the ‘islamo’ part of this unholy alliance is nothing less than an extension of the nazi party previously believed to be extinct.
ed says
Don’t gibe them one microsecond to rearm/regroup
We know where bidens loyalties lie
DC says
Does anybody really think CAIR, Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are gonna vote for Trump?
Or any other REP?
Where is the Jihad Squad gonna go……….other than the DEM/Communist revolution?
Noah Andeark says
Preferably to hell. And sooner rather than later.
Jeff Bargholz says
On the fast track, with oil up their asses.
Kit_Jefferson says
We call this “barking up the wrong tree”. Old Joe’s got no power in Israel. And, CAIR shouldn’t have any power in this one, either,
TRex says
Don’t be surprised, after the smoke clears, to find “plugs” has been slipping billions of bucks into gaza through some obscure UN program. Tlaib and Cair are probably aware of this so all the empty threats of withholding votes is just bluster to keep the blood lust flowing.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, as if those scumbags have a national voter base.
Kasandra says
Don’t tell Biden that there are serial killers out there in swing states who would vote for him except for the fact that he is against murder and he’ll come out pro-homicide. He has no principles so why not?
