“Democrats Urge Biden To Take Action Against Israel’s Unacceptable Tactics

In response to the violence and destruction occurring as a result of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, prominent members of the Democratic Party are sending a clear message to President Joe Biden: denouncing the disproportionate action taken by Israel in this conflict and pressuring Biden to take a more active stance in advocating for peace and justice. Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Tim Kaine, among many other democrats, have been vocal in condemning the tactics being used by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in this conflict. Senator Kaine even described the actions as “devastating” and “a human tragedy.” The group is concerned that without the U.S. taking a more active role to promote ceasefire, the situation in the region will continue to worsen and many more lives will continue to be lost. Moreover, the Democrats have pushed Biden to change his stance from one of support to one of pushing for de-escalation and neutral intervention. President Biden has expressed his commitment to a “democratic, Jewish and secure Israel,” but his administration is also pushing for a two-state solution and engagement with Palestinians. The tensions between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza have been growing since the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan on April 13th. Since then, the area has become a hotbed of violence, with Israeli airstrikes killing over 200 people, the majority of whom are civilians. The air strikes and ground attacks have also caused immense destruction, leading to the displacement of thousands of Gazan people. The Democrats’ call for a more active involvement by the Biden Administration comes at a critical moment. As the conflict continues to escalate, the world has to act quickly to prevent further destabilization in the region and to bring about a peaceful solution. It is clear that the Biden Administration cannot continue to remain silent and supportive of Israel’s actions, and that the voices of Democrats, and indeed of all Americans, must be heard louder and stronger in this conflict if a resolution is to be achieved.
