Michigan group backing Hamas?

 Washington Post:

A Michigan group backed by prominent state and local lawmakers is making a last-minute push to get 10,000 Democrats to vote “uncommitted” in the state’s primary next Tuesday as a warning to President Biden that his support for Israel and refusal to call for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip could cost him the state in November’s presidential election.

The group, called Listen to Michigan, has spent the past two weeks feverishly calling and organizing residents across the state in hopes of showing that voters opposed to Biden’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza have the ability to swing the election — and, organizers hope, further pressure the president to call for a cease-fire.

“It’s a last-minute effort born out of frustration and desperation,” said Layla Elabed, the campaign organizer of Listen to Michigan and sister of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who has backed the effort. “Michigan will be decided in November by a few thousand votes, so we’re aiming to show that our antiwar voters, our cease-fire voters could provide the margin of victory for Biden and he needs to listen to us.”

Elabed added: “This uncommitted vote is not an anti-Biden vote. … This is our vote to tell Biden he’s not listening to his core constituency. He’s not listening to the voters who came out to support him in 2020.”

Biden has tightly embraced Israel since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, in which militants rampaged through Israel’s border fence with Gaza and killed 1,200 people while taking some 240 hostage. Israel responded by launching a punishing military campaign that has killed more than 29,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

I think Israel is right to be attacking the Hamas supporters who engaged in the mass murder of Israeli non-combatants.  The destruction of Hamas is as worthwhile a task as the previous destruction of the Nazis in World War II.  Hamas has the same genocidal ambitions as the Nazis did.  A cease-fire at this point only benefits the Hamas mass murder agenda.  While I am not a Biden supporter, he is right in supporting Israel against a genocidal Hamas.

Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), an Israeli watchdog group, translated social media posts and broadcasts produced by Fatah, the ruling party in the West Bank, and found that it praised dozens of members of the Palestinian Authority security forces for having attacked Israelis. The State Department has spent more than $170 million supporting the Palestinian Authority security forces since 2007, providing things like weapons training and communications infrastructure, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of federal contract data.
