The latest Trump controversy is about Israel, a country under siege. As you will remember, then President Trump moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, symbolizing America's commitment to Jewish tradition. On the whole, the Trump administration had a strong relationship with Israel.
The Biden administration does not because the progressive left sees Israel as an "occupier," an oppressor of the Palestinian people. And President Biden is totally dependent on the far left for campaign money and organizational ability. He will never defy them.
Enter New York Senator Charles Schumer, the most powerful Jewish politician in the country. Last week, he publicly called for the Netanyahu government to step aside.
It was a stunning insult that had to be approved by Joe Biden. Schumer was a proxy.
The USA is Israel's most important ally, and now the relationship is frayed, to say the least. The Biden administration certainly can advise Netanyahu in the war against Hamas, but it should be done privately.
Donald Trump believes the Democrats are biased against Israel and is scolding secular American Jews who support the Dems.
For that opinion, Trump is being branded "anti-semitic," which is ridiculous.
But demonizing Trump is now a sporting activity among the American left.
Come November, I don't believe the majority of secular Jews will vote for Trump no matter what happens in Israel.
To them, he's unbearable. Jerusalem or no Jerusalem.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
