A Democratic upraise, against Israel

The Democratic Party's election competitions are almost at final stages, we think democrats have kept a long distance from Israel in their campaigns, below some observed facts are explained.

The outcome of this election will determine which Democratic candidate will run for rivalry against Donald Trump (as a Republican nominee) for the 2020 US presidential elections. Before reaching the final result of this phase, there are other obvious side effects, one of the most important of which is the growing distance of the Democratic Party from Israel. Below some facts are listed to explain the phenomenon:

 

1. The annual meeting of the AIPAC (the Committee on American and Israeli Public Affairs) - the most important pro-Israel lobby in the United States - has always been the focus of all nominees from both parties. The presidential candidates used this summit to pay tribute to Israel and to make a firm commitment to support this regime. Many of their comments were so ridiculous that it seemed disrespectful even to neutral observers. This year, unlike previous years, none of the Democratic candidates attended the meeting. The only candidate present at the AIPAC was Michael Bloomberg a devoted Jew who was by no means a qualified candidate and withdrew in Biden's favor. Several of the Democratic candidates had just sent a message to the meeting. These messages were also unprecedentedly full of criticism of Israel and support for the rights of the Palestinian people.

 

2. Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders in a tweet while refusing to attend the AIPAC meeting said: "The Palestinian people, like the Israelis, have the right to live in peace and security. “I am still concerned about the AIPAC structure because it is a reference point for leaders who openly oppose Palestinian fundamental rights." "As president, I will support the rights of Israelis and Palestinians and do everything possible to bring peace and security to the region," he added. Earlier in the Democratic debate, Sanders strongly condemned Israel and described the prime minister as a retard and racist person. He said he would consider returning the US embassy to Tel Aviv if he wins the election.

 

The election will consider returning the US embassy to Tel Aviv.

 

3. Joe Biden, who chose a softer language, said in his message to the AIPAC summit: "Any action by the Zionist regime on annexing the West Bank and its recent announcement of new settlements will prevent the formation of a unified Palestinian state." "Israel must end threats to West Bank accession and settlement," Biden said. "These actions undermine any hope for peace and, frankly, these moves further undermine Israel's democratic values ​​and undermine American support for Israel, especially among young people in both political parties," the former US vice president added. It weakens. "

 

4. Increasing opposition to Israel and protecting the rights of the Palestinian people is not limited to Democratic leaders. In fact, the root of these objections is the party's dissatisfaction with Israel and the policies of Netanyahu's government. All of the recent polls show Democratic supporters distancing themselves from Israel and reducing their support for the regime's policies.

 

5. Israel and its powerful lobby in the United States had a clear policy of maintaining and sustaining both Democratic and Republican support for Israel, and had been successfully implemented for many years. Because of this policy, the two parties did not differ significantly in support of Israel, but in recent years the situation has changed so that the Republican Party can now be considered the main Israeli pro-democracy camp and the Democratic Party the main Palestinian pro-American camp.

 

6. The Democratic Party has always been a strong supporter of Israeli policies over the years. Of course, there were some exceptional figures, such as former US President Jimmy Carter, who held a negative stance toward Israel despite the party's atmosphere. A serious change in the situation seems to have begun since Obama's presidency. Obama and Netanyahu have been involved in a variety of issues, notably the Iranian nuclear deal. Netanyahu has attacked and condemned the Obama administration for its support of the US agreement. Obama also responded to Netanyahu's rebellions by preparing to issue a Security Council resolution against settlements in Israel during the last days of his presidency. Obama's secretary of state, John Kerry, has also warned Israel in an unprecedented position that continuing its policies against the Palestinians could turn Israel into an apartheid regime.

 

7. The Democratic Party's Israeli Withdrawal from Israel With the arrival of progressive delegates from the party, such as Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, intensified in the US House of Representatives. Israel has long been described by Israel as an apartheid regime, and Rashida Tlaib has explicitly advocated a government solution to the Palestinian issue. Subsequent statements and positions of the two deputies in the House were the subject of heated debates between the Democratic Party and the Israeli lobby in the United States.

 

8. However, relations between the two parties, Israel and the Democratic Party, had never worsened during this (presidential) election. During this time, Democratic candidates, notably Bernie Sanders, took positions against Israel that were considered secret sanctions in the American political arena. The continuation of this situation could jeopardize the support of a major American party for Israel.

 

9. This is not a major development that Israel can tolerate. Israel's survival depends on US support for the regime. America is the most powerful and important supporter of Israel in the world, and it is not limited to the US government. Polls show that the American people are the only nation in the Western world whose majority supports Israel. Continuing to distance the Democrats from Israel and win them in the forthcoming presidential election could turn Israel's biggest American nightmare into reality.
