In more than half of the territory of the United States, demonstrations and other acts of protest are multiplying these days against the genocide perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, which has the political and military support of the White House.

I had already said in a previous work that President Joseph Biden was risking his political future with his unbridled complicity with the Zionist government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, and now the facts are demonstrating that reality.

Although the focus of the protest against the systematic extermination of men, women, children and the elderly at the hands of the Tel Aviv army is on the university campuses, little by little it is spreading to other places, inevitably bringing to mind the fight against The vietnam war.

Biden can't think of anything better than unleashing the police, who are armed as for war, and even the National Guard, whose brutality is legendary, against the young students.

So far about 2,000 young people and teachers have been arrested, but that has only encouraged protests and directed them against the White House.

This has a clear political consequence for the president, and that is that a good part of the Democratic party's hard vote is precisely that of young people, who are becoming more and more disenchanted with the official policy towards the Middle East and the unrestricted support for Tel Aviv.

Jonathan Zimmerman, a history professor at the University of Pennsylvania, told The Guardian that protesters on campus are not going to vote for Donald Trump, but the danger for Biden is simpler: they simply are not going to vote.

The rhetoric of the president, as well as that of the rectors and other authorities of the centers of higher education, is that demonstrating in favor of Palestine is anti-Semitic, ignoring the obvious fact that a part of those who demonstrate are young Jews, dissatisfied with the actions of Palestine. Netanyahu and his clique.

I don't think there are anti-Semitic Jews because that would be almost against nature, but I am convinced that there are many who are, fortunately, anti-Zionist and that is comforting.

When Zionism disappears in the Middle East, all the conditions will be in place for both peoples to live in peace and security, each within the borders established before 1967, a horizon that causes digestive discomfort in Washington and several European capitals where they look with horror. the eventual outbreak of peace.
