Several aides told Reuters they are advising Biden to remain above the fray, rather than directly engage with the relatively small groups of protesters on college campuses, arguing their numbers are too insignificant to harm the president's reelection campaign.

Here we come 2016 #2

Consistent with what he does about the genocide in Gaza.

He cant really do much here. Biden is the most devoted to Israel of all western politicians so whats the point. Hes not going to fight Israel, hes not going to cut off anything to Israel and hes not going to do anything besides appear to chastise them to try and keep progressives happy enough to still vote for him.

He shouldn't address them since doing so wouldn't go well. But:

This dude's campaign is ignorant. The elections are swayed by a few dozen thousand votes in swing states. There is no way of knowing if the sentiment represented by the protestors is statistically relevant or not.

They're letting the honeruns handed to them in 2020 go to their head. This is a significantly tougher election.

Their thoughts are that once school is out they'll go away and by then Israel may be done with their ethnic cleansing.

Also, this is what I said a few weeks ago, that the people in Biden's ear are clearly misinforming him of things.

They are correct. Biden is currently struggling with his thirst for genocide.

I mean considering how bad his response was to it, maybe it's better he keeps his mouth shut.

Ignoring them would be a lot better than saying what he has said so far.

He honestly should ignore them and just let it play out. People dismiss college protests anyway so theres nothing to gain but a lot to lose.

Almost like the dems think their fundraising efforts will go better with Trump as president.

He should be on their side, however I think saying nothing about them is better than criticizing them which has been how he's been coming off lately.

Idk but I'm not forgetting that as much as I won't forget Trump suggesting shooting sunlight or bleach into your blood during the pandemic.

You should also make sure to not forget that Trump promises an even worse Muslim ban, deportation of them, that he wants to send Pro-Palestinian protestors to go die in Gaza, and that he wishes Netanyahu would just get this done quickly.

I understand the frustration, disappointment, and even hatred towards Biden on his handling of the situation, however I think it's also important to not forget that Trump would be approaching this as a bigoted fascist and would 100% make this 1000% worse. He would tell Netanyahu to not even worry about relocating the Gazans, he'd just tell him to kill them all quickly.

Republicans are at the point where they're even flat out calling for Israel to just nuke Gaza, which they'd never do because of nuclear fallout and Republicans are too stupid to understand that, still, this is where we're at.

Then he's spending a remarkably large amount of American taxpayers' money to support something he doesn't desire.

America isn't dominant enough right now to abandon allies who are positioned in such a geopolitically crucial part of the world, even if at full disagreement with the method and rhetoric employed by Israel.

There's a rapidly deteriorating trade war with China in the background of all this, it's simply not feasible to risk losing Israel as an ally right now in any capacity.

Foreign policy will continue to be viewed in terms of pragmatic gains and losses, and nothing is likely to change that in our lifetimes.

It sucks, it sucks to think about, it's the truth though.

Die-hard support for Israel is severely undermining US soft power right now. It's not really in their interest to keep this up.

On purely realpolitik terms there's an argument to be made that Israel has outlived its usefulness as a client state and the US is better off cutting its losses. Y'know, in addition to the moral argument of we should stop supporting genocide

This. He gains nothing from the confrontation. The protestors are angry and want to vent and speak their mind. Let them, that's fine.

You are right Biden doesn't want that. He is funding. Lying to help it go on. Attacking anyone that says this wrong. Writing off the deaths of reporters cutting funding to organizations that give food to dying kids. But you are right he doesn't want that.

It shouldn't be tougher, but neither should have 2016 or 2020. Too bad America sucks and most voters are simple-minded idiots

Frankly, ignoring the protest would be an improvement compared to what he is doing.
