You’re a career politician. The only thing you ever want to buy is votes. The only thing you’ve ever had to sell is your own vote – as a U.S. Senator, then Vice President, then senior member of the Democrat Party, then President.
And now you risk losing an election because you haven’t sold one of the United States’ most important, and valued, allies down the river.
So what do you do?
From Robert Spencer’s article at frontpagemag.com:
Biden Regime Considering New Move to Stab Israel in the Back
And to hand over victory to Hamas.
The Biden regime is in a tough spot. Its far-left base is enraged over its ongoing ostensible support for Israel. Instead of acting with integrity despite the electoral cost and standing by a loyal ally in its time of need, the regime is making a series of moves to betray Israel and give aid and comfort to its enemies.
Now it’s mulling over a step that would constitute the biggest betrayal of all and would hand victory to the Hamas jihad terror group. For the unprincipled Biden regime apparatchiks, it’s all about winning in November.
The New York Sun reported Monday that Old Joe and his henchmen are “reportedly considering leaving Israel short of the armaments it needs to fight Hamas.” The veiled threat was there on that same day, during the callow but thoroughly indoctrinated National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s White House press briefing. A reporter reminded Sullivan that “the deadline for Israel to comply with the National Security Memorandum 20 is coming up on Sunday,” and asked him: “Has Israel responded in writing?”
Sullivan answered: “So, first, when you say ‘to comply,’ what they have to do by Sunday is just provide credible and reliable assurances that they will abide by their international obligations, not obligations we’ve imposed upon them, but — but obligations they have freely accepted with respect to international humanitarian law, which, of course, includes not arbitrarily impeding the flow of humanitarian assistance where they can control that. So, I cannot tell you today — confirm today that they have provided that. Obviously, as you said, they have several more days before they have to do so. And we anticipate that they will.”
So Israel had, as of Monday, not yet complied with a new rule the Biden regime just made up, that arms sales can only go to nations that respect “international humanitarian law.” Israel does respect this law; when independent observers have dubbed the IDF “the most moral army in the world.” The international outrage, however, is growing against the Jewish state. Hamas is eagerly fueling that outrage, fabricating casualty numbers before a world that has been all too eager to be fooled, and even preposterously claiming that Israel was conducting a “genocide.”
Meanwhile, you will be absolutely unshocked to learn that Old Joe’s new rule is being applied selectively. The Sun notes that “In reality, arms are sold to foes and allies alike in all five continents, with little notice of rights violations.
Are you surprised?
If so, you are either a hardline Democrat whose partisanship is immune to even what is in front of your eyes, or so gullible that you think a lifetime “how many votes does it get me, that’s all I care about” hack like Joe Biden would take into consideration anything as mundane as the existence of Israel when there are far more important things to consider – like appeasing the Israel-hating segment of Michigan Muslims.
I do not want round 2 of a Trump presidency. But – God help me, and you, and everyone else – the alternative is round 2 of Biden (at least as of now, given that would not at all be surprised if Democrats dump him before or during their convention).
It would be hard to overstate what a mess we are in.
