Biden is in some trouble. I don’t think it is the economy. People who think the economy is bad are for the most part are Republicans who would not vote for him anyway. It is his embrace of Nettnyahu. Gaze is getting worse and worse. In a line of horrific images CNN just posted IDF desecrating cemeteries. This is manifest destiny Native American stuff. 24,000 people have died, but more than 100,000 are dead and missing. Starvation and disease are rampant. I worry that one million Gazans may be dead by the election. Nobody wants to be partner or willing silent accomplice in this. I think Biden should suspend military aid immediately but he is not going to do that. Especially younger people are going to become more and more alienated from Biden and there will be no way to get them back.
But there is a way out. Biden could save his legacy, the U.S. reputation in the world, and our democracy but doing a massive airlift of food and medicine into Gaza. It will have to be the US alone because we may be the only ones the Israeli’s do not shoot down. Netanyahu will say no. Ignore him. It will make headlines the world over and resort the faith of young votes here. It is actually splashier than cutting off military aid because there will be images of Gazan children with food and doctors with medicine. And it is the right thing to do. The Republican Congress will also say no. Use emergency powers to go around them. Biden must do something.
