A group of more than 100 Democratic donors sent a letter to President Biden this week warning him that his “unconditional support” for the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza could cost him the election to former President Trump.
The letter said that likely Biden voters “are now questioning whether the Democratic Party shares their values. If they stay home or vote for a third-party candidate, there is the very real danger that President Biden will be defeated in November.”
The New York Times obtained the letter and said a handful of its signatories had donated six-figure sums to President Biden’s 2020 and 2024 campaigns, demonstrating the opposition to his support for Israel is not just among the average progressive-leaning Democratic voter.
“The Biden administration has been providing armaments, including 2,000-pound bombs which have been used to flatten entire civilian neighborhoods, causing massive casualties with a high ratio of women and children. President Biden has asked Netanyahu to minimize civilian casualties but has threatened no consequences as Netanyahu has continued to ignore him,” the letter reads.
Democratic voters expressed their opposition to Biden’s support for Israel’s brutal campaign by voting “uncommitted” in the Democratic primary in states where that option is available. According to the Times, 10% of primary voters cast ballots for “uncommitted,” including over 100,000 people in the swing state of Michigan.
Biden has faced a series of protests at campaign events, where demonstrators have called him “Genocide Joe.” In response, his campaign has taken measures to avoid pro-Palestinian protesters, including making rallies smaller, avoiding colleges, and not informing the public of the location of some events.

Trump may not end up being any better, but its a small price to pay to kickstart the purge of Zio-Tojos from the Democratic party. For the last 30 or so years the rule in DC was “if you oppose Israel, you are finished.” The new rule needs to be “if you aid and abet genocide, you are finished.”
That was a good article. But voting for Trump is a bad decision. Kushner is already selling beach front real estate in Gaza.
Agreed with you both. But like that Settler coined it, “If Kushner doesn’t take it, somebody else will!”
Did you watch Judge Nap? At the end there is a bit from Kushner who has no qualms picking at Palestinian bones, the cold vulture that he is.
My apologies to vultures who actually serve an ecological purpose.
You’re correct. It’s a huge insult to vultures. They will never forgive you and will be waiting, if you know what I mean! https://youtu.be/wTrB45tfFDQ?si=7XWKI-Hj5jnYcmcH
I’ll be dead, won’t matter.
Dread, You matter my friend. Like in the song, they never met an animal they didn’t like.
If Democrats learn to associate Zionism with Trump, that will be the biggest win for the Middle East since the fertile crescent. A Trump-Russia collusion hoax has them ready to start WW3 in Ukraine. Imagine what a real Trump-Israel collusion narrative would do?
Nah, too late. Biden is saturated in blood.
Yes, I watched the zombie talk about it. I fell like throwing up. There is no soul under the dead face. He reminds me of the movie ” Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. The face of Kushner looks just like the faces of the replicants that had taken over the humans. Absolutely dead. The scene when McCarthy realizes what had happened to Becky. The dead, no blemish of her face. Creeped the heck out of me. (Becky was played by Dana Wynter, who, by chance was at LAX in the early 70’s while we were waiting to depart, She noticed us with our baby, wondered over and engaged in conversation with my wife. Such a nice woman.)
He looks like a generic gender neutral mannequin, to me.
“dead face”
Too much botox. I don’t think his wife has been able to smile in a decade.
Are we speaking about the US of Atrocities?
Also, the U.S. of Amnesia,
“but its a small price to pay ‘ LOL. Trump will give Israel a free hand to do what they want. The Jordan Valley will become part of Israel proper under Trump.
Considering their performance so far in Gaza that seems doubtful. This generation is not their grandparent, although they seem even more bloodthirsty. (Three quarters of Jewish Israelis think the IDF should be using more force in Gaza, and two thirds don’t think that any food/water should be allowed into the zone at all.)
What would stop Israel from annexing the Jordan Valley under Trump leadership?
The same thing that stops them under Biden’s leadership, their utter inability to do so. Today’s IDF soldier isn’t the same as their grandparents, AND neither are today’s enemies. Just look at little Syria, which has been holding off Turkey, the US, Israel, ISIS, and a horde of mercenaries for a decade with very little assistance. Israel is in danger of overreaching already with their attempt to expand the West Bank squatter settlements, they really can’t afford a three-front war (Gaza, Hezbollah, and the West Bank) much less open a fourth front.
The president, ladies and gentlemen. Avoiding even his own voters. Just show up and vote on election day and otherwise let him do what he wants. If there was a statue built for him it would have the face covered.
There is no chance of Biden ever making it to Mt Rushmore.
Chiseling the bizarre facelift characteristics would be difficult to boot.
Plus the liver spots.
Yes. With today’s politicians they’d have to do a full head shot. That way we could see the ponytail of skin on the back of their head that was formed from pulling their skin back so many times. Christ, Pelosi has a permanent smile because she has no choice. Plus, I don’t think she can blink her eyes anymore.
She’s frightening.
Only when counting het illicitly gotten Capital Gains.A more corrupt public servant would be hard to find.
Sure. By airdrop.
It could be that perverted US war crimes around the world will convince people to replace bad governments with real democracy.
Hugo Chávez invented a superior democracy in Venezuela the US has been attempting to destroy because it fears north Americans will want real democracy. Anti democracy US has not been able to destroy the much stronger government structure in Venezuela. It is possible US citizens will come up with an even better real democracy that won’t allow thieves and war mongers to rule the roost.
Good idea but not in our lifetime.
Accelerating unstopable sea level rise is on the side of good.
I’m not sure the great paratrooper can be credited with inventing the concept of strongman democracy … popular reformers are often such.
Please let me know if and when this happens.
“About 10% of Democratic primary voters” question “unconditional support” for genocide–only? Tells you all I need to know about the “Democratic primary voters!”
Wasn’t there low turn out too in a lot of these places? Not that I am defending Dem voters, who have their heads up their asses on the genocide. But there is all around apathy?
I’m not sure it’s apathy. The 90% who voted for him may actually like it. The low turn out could also be just because they know the primary is a joke and Biden would win anyway. But, I’m no expert.
The latest Dem pitch, it seems, is that you MUST vote for Biden or you may never vote again. And in my head I’m like, wow, so I won’t be able to pick between a mass murderer and a potential future mass murderer? I can’t make those important choices?!
There is not a great deal of difference between Biden and Trump. They are both similar in their devotion to money and the Masters of Mankind.There are superficial distinctions that don’t matter much.Trump is mentally ill while Biden is somewhat senile. Pay your money and take your choice,
They are both narcissistic sociopaths.
I’m somewhat senile. Biden is looking at that in his rear-view mirror. And so is Trump. And to show I’m not partisan, Biden is also mentally ill.
As someone on SlashDot said during the 2016 election, “If two people are cutting off my legs why do you think I should thank the one who’s doing it slower?”
When we voted on primary day in CA, the lot at the Elks Lodge where we have voted at was nearly empty.
Was just reading on Caitlin Johnstone’s page the other day that 80% of news consumers in the Untied States never read past the headlines, and over half of Americans are unsure whether more Israeli or Palestinian civilians have been killed in the current conflict.
I believe it. I have even been guilty of kneejerking a headline myself. But I know what’s going on
I am cynical, but what that letter spoke to me was concern about their investments. They already put time and money in and they worry their $$ free speech would not give them power and influence if Trump wins. None of them are talking about withholding donations.
It appears to lack moral outrage and is all about losing the election because others are revolted.
Meanwhile, they’re more than happy to support him if he’s only pouring money into a proxy war with a real possibility of starting a major war with a nuclear power.
Biden wants to liberate Kiev that has been occupied by Russia for 10 years. Except, I remembered that Putin already lost the war last year or maybe the year before that. https://x.com/Daily_Memes_7/status/1770420851508498635?s=20
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Biden said that??? Ten years ago Biden was knee deep in the coup that displaced a democratically elected Ukraine leader. I have to see the video. (I know, I know, I should have seen the video first……………I am a little tired of the nonsense) Just saw the video. Has it been photo-shopped? It seems weird.
Not to my knowledge. It’s just Biden.
America can be described in one word….
Asufutimaehaehfutbw
So mass murder is NOT an issue here, only “winning” an election? It’s hard for me to fathom the moral decay that has enveloped the very life blood of American politics! The world looks at the USA and what does it see? Fraudulent elections compromised “leaders” and a population that obviously is nowhere near “determining its own course”! The REAL enemies of America are those sitting in illegitimate power in DC!
I’d move the headquarters of ‘the enemy’ to Madison Avenue, the world’s main experts in mind control.
Yeah … come on, Joe … siege warfare and starvation of civilians is not a good look … you need to change the dialogue pronto …
The time of Peace has arrived and the question as to Israel’s existence, once again, takes the center stage. LITERALLY the defining moment.
Israel either gets with the peace of the Father or hasta la vista baby.
Peace is, as they say, off the table for BB & Joe. They and their teams would spend the rest of their rotten lives in the Hague defending their genocide. OTH, there’s BB’s nukes … ??
Maybe we will get lucky and they will self destruct in Tel Avive and Haifa
Im sure Israel is probably demanding the same from you, phony.
🤷🏽♂️
Biden doesn’t give a sh*t…! If he gets re-elected, fine… If he doesn’t a nice retirement in Israel is waiting for him…!
Ye, that Gaza beachfront.
I hear a cocktail of the blood of innocent children is a great tonic against dementia!
A Campaign Cheater…! He also has a paid group of people who attend all of his speech to chant “Four More Years” if a protester happens to disrupt his speech…!
Where is that a link from?
I believe it is NBC News: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-aides-shield-president-pro-palestinian-protests-rcna141251
If not hired, certainly pre-plan people are being used…! Trump did the same thing during 2020 election campaign…!
Could be worse. He could run America like Putin runs Russia.
The government could run the Untied States for the benefit of the American people rather than for the international conglomerates? Oh, the horror!
What strikes me about this article is the utter depravity of a group of wealthy patrons of the Democratic establishment who are not at all concerned that human beings are being slaughtered like cattle, but that their puppet could lose the election.
What ogres we have in the ruling class, Beasts.
Very true. But this revolt of the Barons will expose the enormity of the moral corruption of the Neocons/Neolibs and afford a real possibility of paradigm shift (best not say the R word).
I would like to share your hope, but I cannot. IMO, the American political establishment lost its way decades ago, though I do not feel this way about the American people who have been lied to for many decades, when it comes to the intentions of the Hegemon.
Politicians are not autonomous agents, but factota for K St. The law firms on K St. who write the legislation and pay the bribes represent the real power foci (AIPAC, Oil Patch, Silicon Valley, War Industry, Wall St., … nso on) each of which is serviced by brain trusts fed by several think-tanks. Point being, AIPAC is only one of the Barons. Should Wall St. or any other determine for any number of reasons that because of AIPAC/Neocon’s Israel Project the clouds on the Capitalist horizon caused by AIPAC monopoly of the Gov’t apparatus look too ominous to ignore, they will overrule it and the polscum will hue to the new money.
Yup, that’s how it works. The lobby only gets to dominate US Middle East policy until the consensus of the Owners is that it has become bad for business.
Most Americans care more about their IPhones, their favorite football or baseball team, ordering junk on Amazon.
It Could be worse, you could live in Russia under a midget dictator
Truer words have not been spoken.

Are they donating for Biden? You would think people with such money have enough sense to see how demented he is right now–not even a year from now. Are they gonna give it to Kamala? I still think Biden isn’t the final nominee. Here he is saying Russia occupied Kiev for 10 years: https://x.com/Daily_Memes_7/status/1770420851508498635?s=20
Do you ever watch due dissidence? That dude Keaton also thinks Biden will get a switcheroo.
Those two dudes are great.
You’d think they’d be batshit crazy to give it to Harris. But you’d have thought they wouldn’t have been batshit crazy enough to give it to Biden in the first place. So. who knows. I hear Michelle Obama’s name quite frequently.
Agreed
How this crazy combo: Ron Paul/Jill Stein
Dementia didn’t dissuade donors to Reagan, even though his Alzheimers was an open secret by 1983 in Brainwashington. As long as the headline writers are on the payroll any issues Genocide Joe or Rump have will be glossed over.
It will hurt longer than one election. People tend to project onto politicians or a party that they stand for things they do and often it’s not the case. For younger voters, the loss of naivety will start before it begins and that hurts the Democrats more.
and unfortunately unconditional support for the Saudis is never even remarked on.
did you guys know that in 2017 Trump okayed the sale of the largest oil refinery in the US (Texas) to the Saudis. the sale was finalized in 2019. it is huge, it refines 600,000 barrels of oil every day. so at any moment the Saudis can cut gasoline production and we will see $6 per gallon gasoline. they will use that as a weapon to ensure that Trump is once again installed in the white house.
Yep. Not a good idea. That sell should have never happen. Of course the threat of shutting the refinery down is worst than shutting it down. If the refinery was turned off just to raise prices for a political reason, than, just like the US did to Bayer in WW1, the US would take the refinery.
