If Progressives Don't Like Biden's Gaza Position, Wait Till They Learn About Trump's

WASHINGTON ― Pro-Palestinian activists and voters vowing to withhold their support from President Joe Biden for not doing a better job protecting civilians in Gaza from Israel’s deadly bombardment may wind up helping replace him with a president who has no interest in protecting Palestinians at all.

Neither Donald Trump ― the coup-attempting former president and now Republican front-runner for the 2024 nomination ― nor those running against him have even brought up the many thousands of residents of Gaza, a large percentage of them children, who have already been killed in Israeli attacks.

Indeed, if anything, Trump and his rivals have urged Israeli leaders to be as brutal and as violent as they see fit.

“Finish them,” former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s summit late last month in Las Vegas, repeating a line she has been using since the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel launched by Hamas. “It means giving Israel everything she needs to destroy Hamas, once and for all.”

I don't know if I'd call said critics progressive necessarily.

I do not love Biden’s position on Israel either. But that has nothing to do with whether I would support him.
