October Surprise: Are Netanyahu’s Escalatory Attacks In Lebanon And Iran Calculated To Help Trump Win Presidency? – Black Star News

The widen war, in the Middle East, being provoked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, may very well decide who becomes America’s president next month. The current bombing of Lebanon, and the attacks on Iran, threaten to ignite the whole region into a catastrophic deadly war—that may lead to a second Donald Trump presidency.

Is this the October surprise strategy Netanyahu is employing—with President Joe Biden’s help—to kill Vice-President Kamala Harris’ chance of becoming the first female president?

That is clearly the outcome Netanyahu wants. But why is President Joe Biden helping the effort which may cause Harris the 2024 Presidential Election?

Ever since the “intelligence failure” on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, Netanyahu has used that tragedy to benefit his political expediency. Facing criminal charges, in Israel, all-out war against Palestinians was a perfect distraction, like manna from heaven, for the embattled prime minister. The current war escalation into Lebanon is just a continuum of Netanyahu’s Machiavellian machinations to evade legal troubles in Israel.

The idea Netanyahu was working toward a peace-deal is pure fantasy. Also, many Israeli citizens reportedly want Trump to win too.

Since “birds of a feather flock together,” it is no surprise Netanyahu likes Trump. In fact, they are monstrous mirror images of one another. The irony here is while anyone who criticizes Israeli policy is smeared with the “anti-Semitic” charge, Netanyahu likes breaking bread with a racist like Trump. Then again, Netanyahu is a racist himself.

Given all this, it is hard to understand Biden’s thinking in dealing with Netanyahu—especially, since he is no longer running for reelection. Biden surely understands that Netanyahu does not want peace.

So, what is Biden’s game plan here? Why is he seemingly making Harris’ chances of becoming president more difficult? Why won’t he take a firm stance against Netanyahu?

For months now, it has been clear Muslim-Americans are understandably furious with the Biden Administration for doing nothing to stop the Gaza Genocide. For example, in the key battleground state of Michigan, we saw the emergence of the Uncommitted National Movement, which influenced many Muslim voters to seek other voting options during the 2024 Democratic presidential primaries.

To make matters worse, the Kamala Harris campaign’s decision not to have a single Palestinian voice at the Democratic National Convention wasn’t helpful. What message did this send to Palestinian-Americans, and to American Muslim voters generally, regarding the Democratic Party’s concerns for their humanity in the face of maniacal mass murder?

For all the good Biden has done, relative to other American presidents, the history books will now list him as an aider-and-abettor of Netanyahu’s genocidal crimes. From a political positioning point of view, Biden’s reticence to reign in Netanyahu was fathomable, though unethical, when he was still a reelection candidate—although his campaign was already losing support because of the arbitrary slaughter of innocent Gazans. But now that Kamala Harris is the candidate, Biden’s stance is puzzling.

This is why some are now surmising, shockingly, that Biden wants Harris to lose, because of the grievances he has with how he was forced out of the 2024 race. Before he was pressured to step aside, Biden was said to have doubted whether Harris could win the presidency. There have also been reports that Biden is complaining about being forgotten in the national conversation.

Meanwhile, over 41,000 thousand Palestinians have been bombed and blown to bits in Gaza. And over 2,000 Lebanese have been killed since Netanyahu perpetrated his latest acts of aggression.

If Biden continues to back Netanyahu’s war escalation in the Middle East, Kamala Harris will lose more Muslim, student, and anti-war votes. And the worse Netanyahu’s murderous impulses get before November 5 the more we are likely to see Trump again slithering into the White House.
