Washington- It is not a celebration of the president joe bidenToday, Monday, November 20, on his 81st birthday, there is good news for the circle of senior officials and advisors in the White House, as Biden has become the oldest president in American history, while he often shows signs of lacking mental fitness and physical ability to perform the duties of the president, who is considered the commander-in-chief. The American space forces at the same time.
When Biden turned 80 a year ago, he arranged… White House A wedding ceremony for his granddaughter in the back garden of the White House to distract the press and American public opinion from the president reaching this critical age, at a time when 77% of Americans say he is too old to run in the race for a second term, which begins in January 2025 and continues until January. /January of 2029.
A poll conducted by the Associated Press last August indicated that 69% of Democrats, 74% of independents, and 89% of Republicans refuse to run for Biden in the upcoming elections.
Yesterday, a Wall Street Journal editorial stated, “Given President Biden’s age, running for re-election is a profoundly selfish act,” and added, “His advisors and his family must put the country first before the privileges of office, and they must tell the truth, which is that the president is a great man.” “Old is for another term, and if he refuses to hear that, the expected step is to resign and stop covering up for him.”
Birthday and essay
On the eve of the US President’s birthday, Biden chose to write an opinion article on Sunday in the newspaper “Washington PostIn its weekly issue, the article was long, approximately two thousand words, in contrast to the size of traditional opinion articles, estimated at 800 words.
The title of the article was “We will not back down from confronting the challenge posed by both Putin and Hamas,” linking the Russian war on Ukraine to the Al-Aqsa Flood operation against the Israeli occupation, and the unprecedented aggression that followed. Gaza stripThrough his exceptional article, Biden tried to achieve several goals as follows:
In his article, President Biden linked the Russian president Vladimir Putin With the Hamas movement, and placed them in the same category of “evil and aggression,” as he said, with the aim of passing his agenda, which was obstructed by the Republicans in Congress.
Biden had asked Congress to approve an aid package worth $106 billion, including $14 billion allocated to Israel and $61 billion to Ukraine, which was rejected by the Republican-majority House of Representatives. The House of Representatives later approved providing aid to Israel worth $14 billion, which it rejected. Biden stipulates approval of the entire aid package, including allocations to Ukraine.
Biden has repeated what he said several times since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, in an attempt to appear as a strong and strict leader. Biden wrote that he “ordered sending two US aircraft carrier strike groups to the region to enhance deterrence, and to pursue Hamas and those who finance and facilitate its terrorism.”
Biden stated in his article, “We are imposing multiple rounds of sanctions to weaken the financial structure of the movement agitationWe cut off external funding, and prevent access to new financing channels, including through social media.”
Biden noted that he was also clear that the United States would do what was necessary to defend American forces and citizens throughout the Middle East, and that his country’s forces had “responded several times to the strikes directed against us.”
Biden celebrated his travel to Israel, and said, “I immediately traveled to Israel, and I was the first American president to do so during the war, to show solidarity with the Israeli people and confirm to the world that the United States supports Israel.”
Biden chose to write in the Washington Post, instead of…The New York Times“The more liberal, or the more conservative Wall Street Journal,” and by choosing this, Biden reflects his desire to communicate with the traditional forces in the Democratic Party that support Israel, in an attempt to marginalize progressive voices within the party, which oppose his administration’s position on the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, at a time In which Biden rejects the call for a ceasefire.
Pressure is increasing from increasing numbers of traditional Democrats on the White House to completely change its position in support of the Israeli aggression, despite the martyrdom of at least 13,000 Palestinians.
Some Democratic members of the House of Representatives and Senate are discussing imposing conditions on future military aid to Israel, as a public step to pressure the Biden administration to impose a ceasefire.
Perhaps Biden’s goal is to improve his image among broad American electoral sectors, which have become angry because of what the media and social media show, including images of destruction, killing, and destruction of schools and hospitals, carried out by Israel without American condemnation.
Biden showed a human face in his article by expressing his feeling “deeply saddened by the images emerging from Gaza, and the killing of several thousand civilians, including children, and that the children of Palestine are crying today for their missing relatives, and parents are writing the names of their children on their hands or feet so that… “They can be identified if the worst happens, and Palestinian nurses and doctors are desperately trying to save every precious life they can, with little or no resources.”
Although Biden said, “Every innocent Palestinian life lost is a tragedy that tears families apart,” he did not point to Israel as a party causing all this suffering and killing to which Palestinian children are exposed, and he considered that the children of Gaza are not being killed by American planes with their ammunition that reached Israel. It has not stopped being accessed daily since October 7.
Biden tried to speak to the world in his article as if Washington was the force that carries the banner of good and benevolent values in today’s world, and that the Israeli aggression and the associated American green light led to a major deterioration in the image and reputation of the United States, as stated in various reports from American embassies around the world.
Biden indicated that his country will spare no effort to shape a better future for future generations, and that the United States is the main country to stand up to the aggressors in order to make progress towards a brighter and more peaceful future.
He said that this is “a time when clear vision, big ideas, and political courage are needed most, and this is the strategy that my administration will continue to lead, in the Middle East, Europe and around the world.”
