Netanyahu To Biden: Shut Down The Student Protests!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video yesterday attacking the student protests in the US against Israel's actions in Gaza and demanding that US authorities crack down on those exercising free speech. House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed Netanyahu's condemnation of the protesters and called for the National Guard to be sent in. Has he ever heard of "Kent State"? Also...Texas governor Gregg Abbott sent troops to crack heads at a University of Texas protest. Free speech on the ropes?

What's his plan here? He knows how this looks. He can take the usual back channels to tell Biden this. Why did he go public ? Two outcomes result from this:

1. The protest continues and Netanyahu looks weak.

2. The protest stops and the conspiracy theorists say, "See Israel controls our government."

3... ?

This just leaves me with questions.

Only way Biden would be able to curb these protests is if he signs the Insurrection Act.

I think it's for his domestic political audience, not the US audience. He can be seen to be standing up to the US, etc.

Also the usual suspects in the US will get to say that Biden is being insufficiently pro-Israel, which is a bonus for him.

You may be right. As an American, I naturally wonder how something is affecting us.
