Dems Float Conditioning Aid To Israel On Israel Agreeing To Own Destruction

“If pandering to the emotions the Democratic base by feeding into murderous Islamist rage is what it takes to win in 2024, then so be it.”

Washington, February 22 – Prominent leaders of the party in control of the White House and Senate sought to address flagging election-year prospects this week by suggesting a move they calculate will resonate with the more progressive elements of the party whose ardor has chilled in the wake of the president’s backing of Israeli self-defense following the Hamas massacres of October 7 last year: a proposal to link a continued military alliance with the Jewish State to the latter’s willingness to dissolve itself and let Palestinians continue the work of October 7.

Democratic Party personalities and operatives acknowledged today that their advice to President Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats in response to ominous poll numbers in advance of this coming November’s presidential and Congressional contests involves the explicit conditioning of military assistance to Israel – amounting to more than $3 billion per annum – on Israeli concessions to Palestinian aspirations, in particular their aspiration to destroy Israel and establish an Islamic State of Palestine in its stead.

“The momentum for a push of this sort has been building for some time,” explained Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, long a proponent of such a stipulation. “The facts are not always what sway an election; we all know that. Emotions do the job. If pandering to the emotions of a significant portion of the Democratic Party base by feeding into murderous Islamist rage against Jewish sovereignty is what it takes to win in 2024, then so be it. The narrative is king, regardless of the truth or falsehood of American weapons being used in a ‘genocide of Palestinians.'”

Some foresee a tough road ahead for such a proposal even if the party’s vocal caucus ultimately backs it. “Aside from the questionable factuality of the premise, to put it mildly” observed Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, “we’re not talking about money that’s just given to Israel. Every cent of those three billion dollars must be spent on American-produced goods and services. It’s an investment in American industry, and includes a lot more than just bombs or bullets. If the Democratic party cares about American jobs, this will be a tough measure to make the electorate swallow.”

The move’s proponents appear to believe that to secure continued aid, Israel will agree to destroy itself, an assumption born of the same approach that has governed Democratic attitudes toward Israel, the Palestinian, and Iran since at least the 1990’s and has, for reasons still unclear to Obama-ite stalwarts not resulted in sustainable Middle East peace.
