It tells the story of Brett McGurk who was the driver behind the Israeli-Saudi rapprochement plan, and who, today, is the ruthless engineer behind Israel’s terror against Palestinian civilians. McGurk, whose title is the White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, was assisting Israel to build Arab bridges. However, after October 7, this miniature Eichmann diverted his attention swiftly to mass murdering innocent Palestinian civilians to avenge Hamas for killing his Saudi little baby. When personal interests clash with our national interests, as McGurk exacts revenge on the Palestinians for deconstructing his Israel-Saudi normalization plan, we must pause to ask the right answers.
Following blindly the advice of Brett McGurk will come back to haunt the United States at a later date, and Biden in 2024. Already, leaders of Arab-Americans and Muslims in the United States, who just met in Michigan, withdrew their support for the President in key swing States.
Mind you, the longer Israel terrorizes innocent civilians, the more a younger voter generation, between the ages of 18 and 34, a demographic group that overwhelmingly voted for Biden in 2020, will simply stay home on November 5, 2024. All the surveys and polling data point to this reality.
Biden should surely know that you can kill Hamas, but you cannot kill the desire for freedom from the shackles of the Israeli system of apartheid.
THE WHOLE ESTABLISHMENT IS AGAINST A CEASEFIRE
besides some mid-level and low-level civil servants, except one high official at the State Department resigning over Biden’s blind support for Israeli terror against civilians, the top echelon of the U.S. establishment is in favor of the atrocities Israel is committing. It includes the President, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and Brett McGurk. The latter three, we believe, are driving the President to a very non-predictive territory in support of his re-election campaign.
The fact that the President accepts the hard line advice of McGurk is an indication is that he is either on-board regardless of what the consequences may be for his future, or that he is totally clueless. Another possibility is that his campaign manager, Julie Rodriguez, might have construed a clear path towards his victory in 2024 without the majority of support of voters between the ages of 18 and 34. Maybe Rodriguez has a magic wand. Who knows.
Between McGurk exacting his revenge on the Palestinians for demolishing his dream of building an Israeli-Saudi bridge, and Biden’s history of committing errors of judgment, we have the perfect storm at play here. One whose entry into the history books would follow the same pattern of events as the entry of the peace paper Neville Chamberlain waved upon landing in England, or the entry following the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
Biden should surely know that you can kill Hamas, but you cannot kill the desire for freedom from the shackles of the Israeli system of apartheid by millions of Palestinians, supported by billions of people around the world.
