On FNC's “Life, Liberty, Levin” on Sunday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) sought to rationalize the Biden administration's and Democratic Party's positions on Israel and the Middle East.
The Arkansas Republican speculated that this may have something to do with what attracts the U.S. left to so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, which Democrats hope will apply to foreign policy. accused of trying.
“They're pushing a final solution for Israel, not a two-state solution, that Israel is the problem and is the cause of all these problems in the Middle East,” host Mark Levin said. . “Do you think that's how they think?”
“I think that's part of the reason, Mark,” Cotton replied. “Again, Democrats have projected American partisan politics into the region. That means anyone who was opposed to Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran in 2015, by definition, wore a red jersey. You're aligned with the Republican Party, but who has done it more than anyone else? Prime Minister Netanyahu has said that the nuclear deal led to a nuclear-armed Iran and that But it was not only Israel that opposed it, but also Arab leaders like Mohammed bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates and Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.Joe Biden What did they say about Mohammed bin Salman? That they were going to make him a pariah. Once again they imposed partisan politics on the Middle East.”
“But I think it's not just about partisan politics, it's also about their philosophical worldview here in America,” he continued. “Again, in this DEI worldview of diversity, equity, and inclusion, they are constantly adjusting to what they think are the oppressed, the victims, or the minorities. , strangely overlaying it with terrorism in the Middle East, particularly Hamas and Palestine. They see Israel as a colonialist and oppressor and Hamas as a victim, and on October 7 Not the Jewish victims of Hamas who were cut, mutilated, and burned alive. So this is a combination of not only the partisan views of the Democratic Party, but also deeper philosophical views. They are the Middle East, It projected on Israel in particular. That's one of the reasons why Democrats, all the way up to Joe Biden, have had such deep animosity toward Prime Minister Netanyahu for so long.”
