The Biden administration, complicit in the brutal war on our Palestinian people, does not want to acknowledge that it faces a U.S. public that has discovered the truth about the Nazi entity and has sided with human values, deciding to stand on the right side of history. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and their suppression today means a costly electoral bill that the Biden administration will pay sooner or later.
Capitulating to the anti-Palestinian propaganda narrative that Hamas is not a legitimate resistance group is what actually makes things harder. You think that by disavowing Hamas you will become more “acceptable”? They will still accuse you of being a terrorist sympathizer and an anti-semite for standing with Palestinians either way, but now you have legitimized their narrative that armed resistance is illegitimate and criminal. You have given up ground to the enemy and given them a victory in the naive hope of increasing your mainstream “respectability”. Do this enough times and you end up an opportunist who has betrayed everything they claimed to stand for for the sake of liberal brownie points.
