Chicago Sun-Times Columnist Neil Steinberg wrote on Tuesday: “If I were faced with the choice between getting rid of Hamas or getting rid of Netanyahu, I would choose Netanyahu.”
Steinberg is explain He prefers genocidal terrorists who oppress their own people to democratically elected leaders who can be voted out: “There will always be another terrorist group to replace Hamas, but I don't think Israel will ever have a worse leader than Netanyahu.”
The columnist made the remarks at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, last month and later reported on them in his column. The columnist was aware of his “rudeness” but was clearly proud of what he had said to the diplomat.
The rest of Steinberg's analysis was somewhat accurate, but it did not explain his earlier statement.
The Palestinian leadership has traditionally treated Israel as a military problem, an approach that failed spectacularly in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973, though they were backed by Arab armies. For the past 50 years, they have continued to fight alone, resulting in more failures, suffering, death, and a loss of what is effectively land.
Meanwhile, Israel sees the Palestinians as a long-term management problem rather than an urgent moral imperative calling for immediate action: instead of resolving the situation fate has left before them, they blame the Palestinians’ corrupt and, despite October 7, bumbling leadership, shrug, make do, and waste another decade – exactly the way Chicago deals with its pension problems.
Democrats have struggled to address anti-Israel (and sometimes anti-Semitic) elements within their own party. Vice President Kamala Harris has said she won't cut off aid to Israel, but probably He has taken a more adversarial approach than President Joe Biden. The Washington PostShe has also hired a number of anti-Israel aides.
