Biden’s betrayal of Israel
It all comes down to Michigan

OPINION:
Last week Democratic “Squad’ member Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian-American congresswoman from Michigan, cast the lone “present” vote on a near-unanimous resolution that condemned Hamas’ use of rape as a weapon of war in its current clash with Israel in the Gaza Strip.
While speaking on the House floor, Ms. Tlaib said the resolution was accurate regarding the crimes of Hamas but that she couldn’t support it because it didn’t also condemn Israel’s sexual violence. To be clear: Historically, there are some one-off offenses by Israelis, but absolutely nothing compares to the mass atrocities committed against civilian Israeli women and children by Hamas on its October 7 rampage.
Earlier this month, Ms. Tlaib voted against legislation that barred Hamas members from entering the U.S., claiming the measure was “inciting racism.” Last year, the House of Representatives censured Ms. Tlaib for using the Palestinian slogan “From the river to the sea” — which specifically calls for the elimination of the Jewish state.
Other than being grossly antisemitic, why does this matter? Because over the weekend, Ms. Tlaib stood outside an early voting site in Dearborn, Michigan and filmed herself urging Democrats to vote against President Joe Biden in the state’s upcoming Democratic primary because of his support for Israel.
