Members of the far-left group of Democrats known as “The Squad” had a list of demands for President Joe Biden before he delivered the State of the Union address, all involving the situation in Gaza.
The mouthy performative progressives have been strongly critical of the White House’s stance on Israel, a nation that they openly despise, and they have been caterwauling for months about a ceasefire before the Hamas terrorists have been completely wiped out.
With Biden in big-time trouble with Muslims in the key battleground of Michigan where “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) whipped up the locals in the recent Democrat primary to vote “uncommitted” to send a message, the “Hamas caucus” senses that it has gotten the presidential campaign’s attention and now has the leverage to influence Middle East policy.
During Thursday’s SOTU rant, Biden announced that he has directed the U.S. military to construct a port for Hamas, a sop to Squad members who have been demanding that more aid be delivered to the Palestinians.

“If the port brings in hundreds of trucks a day, that’s great, but we need a ceasefire now,” Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) told Axios, adding that Biden should push for “release of the hostages in the West Bank and Gaza, not just in Gaza” and a “pathway to peace for the Palestinians.”
“I’m hoping to hear all of that,” Bowman added, but, “I probably won’t.”
Ethically challenged BLM bomb-thrower Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), another “Squad” member, told the outlet that any ceasefire brokered by the administration should be a “lasting one,” also demanding that funding be restored for United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) which was suspended after it was alleged that some of its employees participated in the October 7, 2023 attack on civilian areas in Israel during with over 1,200 people were massacred.
Bush also joined Tlaib in donning the checkered keffiyeh scarves preferred by terrorists and displaying ceasefire signs during Biden’s speech.

“The only ceasefire that is morally acceptable is a lasting ceasefire,” Bush wrote on X on Thursday. “It is inhumane to pause the violence for 6 weeks and then continue sending bombs right after.”

When asked what Biden should say about Israel, “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) told Axios, “That they need to end the onslaught.”
As the conflict drags on, “Squad” members and other pro-Hamas voices have been intensifying the pressure on Biden to bully Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into calling off the dogs in Gaza, and with his political future hinging on Michigan it’s likely that a pier for Hamas isn’t going to be the only measure that he takes to appease the antisemitic elements of his party’s base who are the tail wagging the dog.
