Any morally clearheaded American already has a very good idea of what’s going on. Biden is both-siding the actions of Kafiya-wearing terror cheerleaders on Columbia’s Gaza Quad — who target American Jews who have absolutely no bearing on Israel’s actions — with those who refuse to accept the blood libel of “genocide” in Gaza. It is the kind of odious moral relativism one expects to hear from a “squad” member or clout-chasing far-right “influencer,” not the president.

As Harsanyi points out, there's a difference between this and Donald Trump's "very fine people" comment, which Biden has flogged for the last five years. Trump was not talking about the rioters in Charlottesville but about people objecting to the removal of statues and monuments related to the Confederacy. Biden's talking about the actual rioters and activists deploying intimidation and terror tactics to make their communities Judenrein

Harsanyi has a lot more to say in a terrific column, so don't miss it.
