Greg Olear recently wrote that he is seeing darker hands behind the Dump Biden movement:
“While there are people who truly believe Biden should step down for [insert reason here], the “Joe must go” movement has absolutely been co-opted and amplified by malevolent forces in lockstep with the Kremlin. (After eight years of this shit, I know an op when I see one.)”

I would argue that he has the right idea but the wrong malefactor. With all due respect to Olear, it is the GOP who take their talking points from Pudding. Dems, on the other hand, are much more likely to push Israeli talking points:

Juan Cole’s Informed Comment reprints an article from the Middle East Monitor which points out that Netanyahu has long preferred Trump to Democrats, Biden especially.
( Middle East Monitor ) – “It seems that the repercussions of the debate recently held between current US President Joe Biden and his rival, former US President Donald Trump, which caused a crisis for the former, fueled a campaign led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against the current US administration, and aims, among other things, to hold it responsible for Israel’s failure to achieve absolute victory in its war against the Gaza Strip.”
We witnessed already the power of Israeli meddling in US elections in the unseating of Jamaal Bowman. A smoking gun linking Bibi to the Dump Biden campaign has not yet been demonstrated, but, as Rachel Maddow says, watch this space.
