Several presidents have bucked Israel and the Jewish lobby. From Patrick Theros at responsiblestatecraft.org:
A decisive American president can do anything he wants, whether or not a powerful lobby opposes him
After his first meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996, Bill Clinton vented his fury before his staff about his visitor’s apparent presumptions about the balance of power in the bilateral relationship. “Who the f**k does he think he is?,” Clinton reportedly bellowed. “Who’s the f**king superpower here?” Twenty-seven years later, another American president should be asking himself the same question about the very same Bibi Netanyahu and the country he leads.
Forgive me for not taking seriously the repetitio ad nauseam statement that “the Biden administration has been working hard to change Israeli policy.” Too many defenders of our policy towards the tragedy of Gaza usually add the comment that it is not “politically feasible” to issue a demand and then crack down on the Netanyahu government if it does not comply for fear of the backlash from the powerful so-called Israel lobby.
Are Biden’s apologists telling us that the United States, and by extension its president, is a powerless weakling reduced to begging the leader of a small country that owes the U.S. for its very existence to do far more to protect the lives and welfare of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have suffered three months of —in Biden’s own words — ‘indiscriminate bombing’? The situation in Gaza is now so bad that the UN’s humanitarian chief declared the Gaza Strip “uninhabitable” as of last Saturday.
