A new generation of hate rises in America
Goes to bolster my contention that half of everybody is below average. Some are way below.
[NYP] There are some buildings where the penthouse floors look spectacular. But the foundations and the lower floors are rotten.

It feels like that at the moment when looking at the US-Israel relationship.

At the top floors all looks good, clean and marble-covered.

To his credit President Biden gave a strong statement not so long after Israelis were massacred in their hundreds.

And this week he showed up in Israel to show his support as the country prepares its response to Hamas.
Yes. But that was for show, after he’d given billions of dollars to Iran, which functionally reimbursed them for the cost of the Hamas invasion. Not to mention that he has not only been pushing Israel to walk away from fixing the problem, he has been conferring with other countries to help him pressure Israel to walk away from fixing the problem. And then, of course, he promised Hamas millions of dollars to repair the damage Israel has caused by starting to try fixing the problem.
At the top of the Republican and Democrat parties similar sentiments exist. You might easily think that all is well with the American foundations.
No Republican would do such a thing — they know their voters are generally strongly pro-Israel.
But it isn’t. There is rot inside the building.

Of course Congress has its own voices who actually seem to favor Hamas over the Israelis.
Not seem. Do.
People like Ilhan Omar can’t summon up the briefest condemnation of Hamas before they move onto condemning a not-even-begun Israeli response.

It is the same with other Squad know-nothings.

Appearing in an interview this week AOC made clear once again that she’s no brainiac on the issue. Calling for a ceasefire, she was asked the easiest, most sympathetic questions by her CNN interviewer.
