La pugna entre Joe Biden i Donald Trump per revalidar la presidència dels EUA té en la preservació de l’aliança estratègica amb Israel, i amb el conjunt del món lliure (Ucraïna, Taiwan) un dels eixos principals.
Això explica el suport explícit a la causa sionista de “Biden stands by identification as a Zionist: ‘Israel is a safe haven for Jews’, que té el mèrit d’aturar la deslegitimació d’Israel per part dels palestinistes woke dels seu partit. I també la tria feta per Trump en favor d’un candidat a vice-president que els conspiracionistes ataquen des del primer dia: “Antisemitic, anti-Israel activists claim Jews control Trump VP pick Vance . Large and small social media accounts asserted that Vance was “Israel first” rather than “America first.”

Avui, a The Times of Israel: “Bucking far-left flank, Democrats advance platform touting support for Israel. Position tempered by push for Palestinian statehood, criticism of Israeli policy in the West Bank; contrasts with GOP’s unconditional support, which galvanizes Milwaukee crowd”.

Ben-Dror Yemini: Biden is last president who openly declares: ‘I am a Zionist‘.
Biden was and remains a true friend of Israel. Perhaps the last president who openly declares: I am a Zionist. And he said this even less than a week ago, in an era when the word “Zionist” is a derogatory term to be avoided. Certainly in progressive and Democratic circles. It is possible to criticize him. It seems that in recent months he made mistakes – but he is also the person who stood by Israel immediately after October 7. He approved an unprecedented airlift of armaments. Yes, these are regional and global interests, but not only that. He was and remains a mensch. The hostages were and remain at the forefront of his concerns. He deserves a parade of appreciation from every Zionist and Israeli patriot.
The king departs. Long live the new queen. One can search for any of her statements from recent years, during which she served as vice president. She has irritated here and there. She was also the unofficial liaison at the White House with the Muslim community. Before that, in September 2021, Harris appeared at George Mason University and heard a complaint from a student about “ethnic genocide” committed by Israel against Palestinians. “You must not suppress your truth,” Harris replied. Truth? Every blood libel becomes “truth” in the age of narratives? An irritating answer. A submissive answer. An answer taken from the progressive school of thought. And this was before the genocide campaign. Alongside this, she has countless statements in favor of Israel and its right to defend itself. And more than anything, many familiar with the American administration claim she is not the greatest expert on Middle East affairs. She does not have the emotional connection that characterizes Biden. She comes from a different place. But in her private home, she has her husband, Douglas Emhoff, a Jewish man.
We are at the end of an era. The most pro-Israel president who served in the White House is retiring. Biden tried to promote the mega-deal with Saudi Arabia, which would have rescued Israel from its greatest diplomatic low. It is not clear why those celebrating his fall are rejoicing, when Trump, the utterly unpredictable, stands on the horizon. Not only in the Democratic Party is an antisemitic wing growing on the fringes. This is also happening in the Republican Party. Biden was a shield against these fringes, and with the fall of this shield, there is no reason for celebration. Biden has about six months left until the end of his term. He may retire a bit before then, so Harris can enter the race as president. But even now, it is possible and necessary to appreciate this true friend of the State of Israel.

D’Israel estant creixen les temences respecte l’actitud de Kamala Harris si arriba a ser elegida presidenta. Michael Freund publicada el proppassat 13 al Jerusalem Post aqueix crit d’alerta: “Time for US Jews to embrace the Republican Party. The time for change is long overdue”. Avui el mateix diari publica aqueixa Editor’s Notes: Why Harris’s golden boy should alarm every friend of Israel. If these are the kinds of voices Harris is elevating, we have every reason to be deeply concerned about what this means for the future of US-Israel relations – and the security of the Jewish people.

L’analista israelià Ron Ben-Yishai va publicar ahir al Yediot Ahronot aqueixa lúcida reflexió titulada “Acuerdo de rehenes: la táctica de Biden-Harris hacia la victoria electoral“. Avui, al mateix diari, Dan Zamansky, es posiciona en aqueixos termes: “Hostage deals spell disaster for Israel and the West; military victory is the sole option”. I Seth J. Frantzman al Jerusalem Post assenyala: “Ceasefire sticking points indicate Hamas’s plans to return to power. The ceasefire deal sees Hamas seeking control over Gaza’s Netzarim and Philadelphi Corridors, while Israel worries about Hamas regaining power in Gaza if IDF presence is reduced.”

Avui, The Times of Israel informa d’un fenomen ja conegut a Europa: els verds acullen els votants islamistes i antisemites autodestruint el seu projecte polític i els seus suposats valors: “Muslim Americans moving to anti-Israel Jill Stein in potential blow to Kamala Harris. Green Party candidate, who is Jewish, leads among Muslim voters in swing states of Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin amid anger at Democrats for support of Israel in war against Hamas”.

avui a The Times of Israel: “En quoi Trump et Harris diffèrent (et s’accordent) sur la politique au Moyen-Orient. Les candidats ont utilisé Israël comme un sujet de discorde avant le vote du 5 novembre, chacun accusant l’autre de ne pas le soutenir suffisamment – les Juifs ont des raisons de les croire.”
