Alan Dershowitz's red line, Joe Biden edition

Alan Dershowitz has likely voted for the Democrats' presidential nominee since I was born. That's why I took notice when he announced via Twitter that he's establishing his own red line which he won't cross. He said "Israelis have a right to have a preference as to who is going to be president. But here you have Schumer and Biden, who provide arms for Israel, basically threatening Israel, and recently, Biden hinted, not quite said, but that if Israel doesn't listen to his red lines, he might suggest cutting off ammunition and arms to Israel.

Dershowitz continued, saying "Let me tell you, that's my red line. I want President Biden to understand this clearly, that if he cuts off arms to Israel and prevents Israel from defending itself against Hamas aggression, I promise you I will not vote for Joe Biden. If you cross that red line, I will go out and campaign and urge people not to vote for you." Watch Prof. Dershowitz draw his own red line:

Prof. Dershowitz outlines his thinking in this article:

Dershowitz expressed profound dismay at the administration’s stance, stating, "I was surprised by the US decision not to veto Israel. This is a terrible decision, because it gives Hamas everything it wants, without demanding anything in return. This will lengthen the war. This is a terrible decision both for us and for Israel."

Expressing astonishment, Dershowitz criticized the US decision, asserting, "Many Americans won’t vote for Biden after this. This vote is not a difference between Biden and Netanyahu, this is a difference between Biden and Israel. There is no dispute about the need of getting the hostages back. Biden is going against Israel."

Dershowitz further contended that this decision could have repercussions beyond the realm of foreign policy, potentially affecting domestic political dynamics. He suggested that disillusionment with the Biden Administration’s position on Israel might lead to a loss of support from certain segments of the American electorate, noting, "I’ve been voting Democrats since 1960. This is the first time that I am thinking of not voting for them. I can’t vote for them, because that is a vote against Israel."

Consider this the shot heard round the Jewish world. This isn't just a negotiating tactic. This is a principled man stating where he draws the line of 'No More!'

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
