Not at all surprisingly, Victor Davis Hanson, one of the most logical, thoughtful commentators out there, has written a brilliant piece on the hamas butchery and the United States “woke” left’s sometimes-tacit, sometimes-specific support of it.
I urge you to use the above link and read every word Mr. Hanson wrote about the left’s approval/acceptance of hamas murdering Jews. But that is not all he wrote about.
His take on the Biden administration’s responsibility for hamas’s success, is especially noteworthy – and gut-wrenchingly true. Here is the key segment:
Palestinians for years fooled naïfs in Europe and the Obama and Biden administrations into sending billions of dollars into Gaza.
These monies were channeled to tunnel into Israel, to obtain a huge rocket arsenal, and to craft plans to wipe out Jews.
The Biden administration has blood on its hands.
As soon as Biden took power, he resumed massive subsidies to radical Palestinians, canceled by the prior Trump administration.
He ignored warnings from his own state Department that such fungible moneys would soon fuel Hamas terrorism.
His administration dropped sanctions against Iran, ensuring that Tehran would enjoy a multi-billion-dollar windfall to be distributed to Israel’s existential enemies—another fact well known to the Biden administration.
If the Biden administration had announced overtly that it was rabidly anti-Israel, it would be hard to imagine anything it could have done differently from its present nihilist behavior.
Biden and company quickly restarted the defunct Iran appeasement deal—a leftover from the anti-Israeli Obama administration. No surprise, they appointed radical pro-Iranian activist Robert Malley to head the negotiations.
Malley allegedly has leaked American classified documents to Iranian officials and is under investigation by the FBI. He did his best to place pro-Iranian, anti-American activists into the high echelons of the U.S. government.
Biden was intent on forcing South Korea to release to Iran $6 billion in sanctioned frozen money.
That expectation of cash ensured Iran would be reimbursed for its present terrorist arming spree.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken shamefully tweeted that Israel should settle for an immediate ceasefire. No wonder he soon withdrew his unhinged posting.
That idiocy would be the moral equivalent of an American ally in December1941 urging the U.S. to seek negotiations with imperial Japan after its surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor—to avoid a “cycle of violence.”
I have written for years that Joe Biden’s presidency is disastrous for this country. But, as seen in the middle east since the October 7th mass slaughter of innocent Israelis, his almost unfailingly stupid decisions are not restricted to damaging the United States, they have had major implications for the Middle East as well.
And now, as Biden grandstands about his unwavering support for Israel, we are supposed to conveniently forget that his stupidity was significantly material to putting Israel in the horrific situation it faces.
For the sake of simple logic and common sense don’t be fooled by this…any more than Victor Davis Hanson is.
