Young Democrats face Gaza blowback as they try to mobilize students for Biden | CNN Politics

President Biden’s support for the Israeli military offensive in Gaza mixed with student anger over police crackdowns on anti-war campus protests are complicating the work of Democratic youth groups trying to engage classmates and other Gen Z voters ahead of this year’s election.

Peggy S Meadows More likely than not a significant percentage of progressives and left leaning independents will vote Stein, West or even RFK or stay home unless the Democratic Party shifts its push and admits Biden needs to do better, he lied in 2020 and progressives and left leaning independents held their nose and voted for Biden and now see he never meant to do anything he promised. That memory plus the genocide means Biden needs a course change. 61% of all voters in a CNN poll see Biden as a failed disappointing President. Thats not Fox or The Hill, its CNN. In that same poll 38% of Democrats see him as a failure. Couple that with 15-40% that in the primaries where he ran unopposed voted undecided or uncommitted there is an issue that should be getting all hands on deck instead of pushing a false glowing narrative. He only won by 4% in 2020 and closer in swing states that put him over the top in the electoral college. He can't afford to lose voters


Med Mal False... John 3 16 says For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Also at Jesus baptism here is what The Bible says. Matthew 3:16-17
King James Version
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

So you see God has a son.


This is because Israel has been killing Palestinians for 75 years. I am Palestinian. My grandfather was killed in 1948, his house was burned, and all the people of the village were burned. Britain gave the Balfour Declaration to the Jews as a land for them, and America contributes to the killing of children. They killed our children, they stole our land, why this injustice, their actions are inhumane, Smotrich, this Zionist minister, expelled a Palestinian from his home and took the house and built a house for him. They are demolishing houses and building... Settlements, they kill, they steal, we hold prisoners in torture camps, they have children... America, unfortunately, is the cause of all this, thanks to their biased policy toward injustice.Jeff Hetzer


Winfrey Matsu Is it really complex though?
According to the latest Gallup poll, 75% of Democratic party voters expressed a negative view of Israel's actions, 60% among Independent.
Other polls showed that around 70% of Democratic voters support a permanent ceasefire.
It seems that Biden has nothing to lose but everything to gain in doing everything possible to end this war (which he can), especially if he needs to win swing states like Michigan where he won by 150,000 votes in 2020 with 200,000 Muslim votes.
All he has done so far is alienate and antagonize the Gen Z voters who carried Democrats in 2022. He's risking his reelection for what exactly?


Khaled Shadid BLAH BLAH BLAH. FREE SPEECH IS A GREAT THING. OCCUPYING BUILDINGS, DESTROYING PROPERTY, PREVENTING OTHER STUDENTS FROM GETTING TO CLASS, VIOLENCE OF ANY TYPE, REFUSAL TO LEAVE WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION TELLS YOU TO, UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY, AND RESISTING ARREST GET YOU HANDCUFFED AND CARTED OFF TO JAIL, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY A POLICE RECORD AND ARREST PHOTO THAT FOLLOWS YOU FOREVER. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY ON THAT IVY LEAGUE EDUCATION, WHEN THEY FIND OUT THEY CAN'T GET A JOB. IF YOU UNDERSTOOD HISTORY AT ALL, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT ISRAEL IS THE RESULT OF DECOLONIZATION, AS THE JEWS RETURNING TO THEIR ANCIENT HOMELAND. THE WEST BANK AS YOU CALL IT, ARE RIGHTFULLY CALLED JUDEA AND SAMARIA, JUDEA= BIRTHPLACE OF THE JEWS. THE CONCEPT OF A PALESTINIAN STATE AND A PALESTINIAN PEOPLE WAS CREATED BY ARAFAT AND THE KGB IN 1964. THERE IS NO ANCIENT PALESTINIAN HISTORY, NO MATTER HOW MANY LIES YOU'VE CREATED TO SUPPORT THAT THEORY.


Tess Hsu The dynamics surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are indeed multifaceted, involving geopolitical considerations, humanitarian concerns, and domestic political implications. While public opinion polls provide valuable insights into voter sentiments, political decision-making is often influenced by a range of factors, including diplomatic considerations, strategic alliances, and historical relationships.

President Biden, like any leader, faces the challenge of balancing various interests and priorities in navigating complex international issues. While public opinion may influence policy decisions, leaders also weigh factors such as national security, diplomatic relations, and long-term strategic objectives.

Ultimately, the path to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict requires concerted efforts from all parties involved, including diplomatic negotiations, international cooperation, and a commitment to dialogue and reconciliation. The goal is to achieve a just and lasting peace that addresses the legitimate aspirations and grievances of both Israelis and Palestinians.

As for political considerations, it's important for leaders to engage with diverse constituencies and stakeholders, including Gen Z voters, and to demonstrate responsiveness to their concerns. Building broad-based support for policies requires effective communication, outreach, and engagement with the electorate.


Don Cobin they do know the history of the Israel Palestinian conflict & it us certainly not the cherry picked propaganda you spew. Fill in the '47-'49 Nakba & '67 Nakba where Israel stole the property of an estimated 80% of the Palestinian residents & moved then into the Israeli controlled ghettos of the Gaza & west Bank. How about the U.N. declared illegal zionist settlement in those ghettos to usurp more land? Maybe you could work in details about the thousands of Palestinians arrested & held indefinitely without due process. There is plenty more data to complete & correct that garbage you wrote but it would just be a waste of time.


After suppressing student demonstrations with violence, beatings, imprisonment, and expulsion from the university, she even removed the hijab of four Muslim women students. The US Congress threatens the International Court if it issues decisions to prosecute Nazi Zionist criminals who participated in massacres and torture in Gaza. This is democratic America, this is just America, this is the America that rules by international laws. Gaza revealed the true face of the terrorist United States of America, which supports genocide with money and weapons, suppresses peaceful student demonstrations, and threatens an international judicial body, all of this in order to defend the Zionist entity’s occupation of the Palestinian territories.


I'm from the 1970s, these college students must know what they are protesting for. Hamas is terrible, they did terrible things to Israel. But, Israel is not right either. President Biden is trying to hold down the situation where Israel accepts the win. College students need to go back to class and graduate, and vote for the true blue Biden democratic coalition in the November presidential election. Hamas wants to help Trump destroy America. How? By using misled college students Hamas hopes to elect Trump. Don't let Hamas use our young people to subvert democracy, by encouraging them to stay home, it's vote Biden and democracy wins or democracy dies, a woman's right to choose dies, freedom dies with Trump.


10ºWhere is the American administration in all these demonstrations?
Why don't you listen to the most important segment of society, which is the segment of educated university students, independent of the nation?
I am happy with this conscious youth who wants to live in peace and defend the innocent and oppressed.
The American administration must listen to the American street and to the conscious youth and stop the war on Gaza. Because it is the one who supports the war on civilians in Gaza.

Stopping the war is a necessity and a popular demand. The administration must implement it before it is too late. Because the Palestinian people were killed, 40,000 were killed, 80,000 were wounded, and thousands are under the rubble. Gaza is dying of death, starvation and displacement, and America is the one that is exterminating the Palestinian people at the hands of Israel.
Stopping the war has become inevitable because what remains of the Palestinians in Rafah can no longer bear it.
Thank you to the conscious American youth. Who respects humanity.
