PermalinkU.S.-Israel special relationship to new heights. From replenishing
Israels weapons stocks and shielding it from accountability on the
international stage, to deploying U.S. assets and personnel in
Israels defense, the Biden administration has gone above and beyond
to ensure that Israel not only could sustain its unprecedented assault
on Gaza, but that it wouldnt have to bear the full cost of war.
Biden went into his reelection campaign wrestling with Donald Trump
for the title of Israels best friend a grotesque race to the
bottom that has become a tradition during U.S. election seasons. So
when the president ultimately decided to drop out, some were hopeful
that Vice President Kamala Harris would release us from this downward
spiral. They were soon disappointed.
Media outlets eagerly insisted that Harris seemed to show greater
understanding and empathy for Palestinians, and surmised that such a
difference in perspective might lead to a change in policy. But in the
months since assuming the head of the Democratic ticket, Harris has
made it clear that she is ready and eager to carry on Bidens
catastrophic legacy for the next four years.
And while Israelis overwhelmingly favor Trump over Harris, and the
former president certainly remains the preferred candidate among the
countrys most extreme leaders, they might be missing the point.
Because if you look past the partisan posturing, not only will Biden
go down in history as Israels most consistent ally, but the strategy
he and his fellow Democrats have embraced masking their
unconditional support for Israel behind a facade of concern for human
rights has played a crucial role in allowing Israel to get away with
genocide for this long.
