What do you think of the position of the administration of US President Joe Biden and its support for Israel so far?
I personally think that Biden's main concern is that he relies too heavily on what you might call the Jewish billionaire class to contribute to his campaign funds.Hence, Biden currently supports Israel, supports its genocide in Gaza, and must stand by Israel if he wants to ensure that he receives the campaign funding contributions he needs in order to win the upcoming November elections.
OK, lets look at Biden's biggest donors.
Future Forward USA Action is set to spend $250 million on campaign ads for Biden. Itis led by Chauncey Mclean, which is not exactly a Jewish name. It does get millions from George Soros' Open Society Policy Center, but Soros is emphatically not a Zionist.
The Service Employees International Union said it would spend $200 million on Biden and other Democratic campaigners. It is led by Mary Kay Henry, a Catholic.
The American Bridge 21st Century SuperPAC pledged to spend $120 on anti-Republican ads for Biden this year. It was founded by David Brock, who is also Catholic.
The League of Conservation Voters is also a major fundraiser for Biden. Its president is Gene Karpinski, it is not clear if he is Jewish. His biography certainly does not show anything about Judaism or Zionism, and neither does the LCV webpage. It is fair to say that nothing Biden can say about Israel would cause them to drop him.
These are the only groups I could find that are pledging or donating tens of millions of dollars to Biden's campaign. Not one of them would reduce their funding a penny if Biden went full-blown anti-Israel. Jews, and certainly Zionist Jews, are not even a blip on Biden's donor list.
In fact, a letter just written to Biden from 100 smaller donors warning him that he will lose the election unless he turns against Israel has several Jewish sounding names. Biden's policy appears to mirror J-Street, not AIPAC, and J-Street wants the US to stop supporting Israel's war effort.
Finkelstein is propagating antisemitic tropes about Jewish money controlling the government. There is no evidence behind his theory. It is identical to what neo-Nazis say about Jews in America.
And it proves that antisemitism on the Left is just as toxic and just as widespread as antisemitism on the Right.
