Neville Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler, and World War II resulted. By trying to appease the Ayatollahs in Iran, Joe Biden may have started us down a path to World War III. On the day Biden became president, Iranian-built missiles began to rain down on Israel, America's closest ally in the Middle East and the only democracy in that troubled region.
These missiles, aimed at Israeli civilians, were launched from Gaza by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps provides both terror organizations with funding and arms. Their missile launches from Gaza between January and early May were a test of the Biden administration's mettle.
Accurately perceiving Chamberlain-like weakness in the Biden, the Iranians urged Hamas and Islamic Jihad to launch more than 600 missiles between May 10 and 11 against Israeli civilians in Sderot, Askelon, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. By Jan. 16, the Palestinian terror organizations had launched more than 3,000 missiles and incendiary weapons against Israeli civilians.
Nearly 90% of these deadly warheads, aimed at towns and cities, are being intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system, but dozens of Israeli civilians have been killed and wounded. Every volley of missiles from Gaza prompts Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire against terror targets -- where Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields.
In our previous column, we warned how Biden's weakness in foreign policy puts the United States and its allies in peril by emboldening Iran's IRGC and the terrorist groups they support. We cautioned Biden's offer to reopen talks with Tehran on JCPOA (the Iran nuclear deal) would be perceived by friends and allies as a lack of resolve.
These alerts have fallen on deaf ears. Continuous Iranian provoked rocket attacks on Israeli civilians should tell the Biden administration their goal of "sustainable calm" is a phony solution. It is, in fact, an open door to Iranian aggression against Israel that could well ignite a worldwide conflagration.
The Biden administration's public acknowledgment, "Israel has a right to defend itself," is certainly valid. But the privately issued demand to, "de-escalate now" from Blinken to Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, tells the truth about Biden's anti-Israel foreign policy.
Demanding unilateral de-escalation by Israel is tantamount to insisting Israel forego defending itself. This is an impossible choice for the Jewish nation. Weakness and appeasement invite further aggression by Iranian proxies in Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas is not new. They have fought three wars since 2007 when Hamas took control of Gaza. Each successive conflict has escalated beyond the scope of previous conflicts, but the attacks since May 10 dwarf previous assaults. Fortunately, Prime Minister Netanyahu is made of sterner stuff than Biden. He has promised Hamas will pay dearly for its attacks on Israel, a promise he is already keeping. He has also quietly made it clear to the Biden administration their demands for Israeli de-escalation are unacceptable.
The Israeli Defense Forces are defending their country. The extent to which this conflict escalates is in the hands of Biden, not Netanyahu. If Biden wants to prevent a wider war against our democratic ally, he ought to make clear the United States condemns all attacks on Israel from any quarter, and withhold any further "economic aid" to Palestinian entities.
And just to make sure this message is received where it matters most, he should announce the U.S. is withdrawing from the so-called talks in Vienna on a new Iran nuclear weapons deal, and reinstate all economic sanctions on the Ayatollahs in Tehran. Doing so will most assuredly ensure the current aggression will abate. Failure to do these things will allow Iranian aggression to escalate, and history teaches where that could lead.
Yes. And China is Germany.
John Kerry is Neville Chamberlain.............
Joe Biden is King George III.................
More like another Joe Stalin.
he’s more of a Chauncy Gardner without the charm
Vegetablejoe's mental capability is comparable to that of Neville Chamberlain after November 9, 1940.
Biden is much worse. He is a demented corrupt man who is inherently comfortable with criminal activity. He will do whatever he is told by the amoral, vile, leftist, globalist cabal that runs him.
No, Biden is not another Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain was an incredibly good speaker and had his wits about him. He was also terribly naive and believed in the innate goodness of human beings.
Biden is a human sock puppet used by his wife so she can pretend to be Judith Wilson. Convince me that I am wrong.
Less Chamberlain and more Vidkun Quisling.
Neville Chamberlain was an honorable man and a true English patriot trying to the best he could under the circumstances.
It is hard to understand just how much anti war sentiment there was in England and France after the horror of WWI and just how totally un prepared for war England was in the 1930s. He may have been misguided and made the wrong decisions in. retrospect but his actions are understandable given the circumstances and what he knew at the time.
Joe Biden is a corrupt and criminal politician who is selling our country out to our enemies in China and Iran
A key difference is that Neville Chamberlain did not have himself as an object historic lesson on why a certain thing like appeasement should be avoided.
Biden has no such excuse.
“Chamberlain took from his pocket a paper headed ‘Anglo–German Agreement’, which contained three paragraphs, including a statement that the two nations considered the Munich Agreement ‘symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war again.’”
“Chamberlain returned to London in triumph. Large crowds mobbed Heston, where he was met by the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Clarendon, who gave him a letter from King George VI assuring him of the Empire’s lasting gratitude and urging him to come straight to Buckingham Palace to report. The streets were so packed with cheering people that it took Chamberlain an hour and a half to journey the nine miles (14 km) from Heston to the Palace. After reporting to the King, Chamberlain and his wife appeared on the Palace balcony with the King and Queen. He then went to Downing Street; both the street and the front hall of Number 10 were packed.”

As far as I can tell Nevelle Chamberlain loved his country and become Prime Minister without heating. He also began prepared his countries war industries even before Hitler invadedvillain. He naively made a bad deal.
Biden is a sliteful lying cheating treacherous villian. As far as anything that I read Chamberlain was none of these things.
The Palestinian leadership has not even made a statement that it:
1. desires peace,
2. respects the right of Israel to exist,
3. recognizes that terrorism is a crime against humanity,
4. has stopped the production of offensive weapons such as rockets,
5. will dismantle all remaining rockets if a cease fire is reached.
“Markel has opined that Edith Wilson was, essentially, the nation’s chief executive until her husband’s second term concluded in March of 1921’. While a widow of moderate education for her time, she nevertheless attempted to protect her husband and his legacy, if not the presidency, even if it meant exceeding her role as First Lady.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Wilson
“Through her father, she was also a direct descendant of Mataoka, better known as Pocahontas, the daughter of Wahunsenacawh, the paramount weroance of the Powhatan Confederacy. On April 5, 1614, Mataoka (then renamed as “Rebecca” following her conversion to Christianity the previous year) married John Rolfe, the first English settler in Virginia to cultivate tobacco as an export commodity. Their granddaughter, Jane Rolfe, married Robert Bolling, a wealthy slave-owning planter and merchant.”
“Edith was the seventh of eleven children, two of whom died in infancy. The Bollings were some of the oldest members of Virginia’s slave-owning, planter elite prior to the American Civil War. After the war ended and slavery abolished, Edith’s father turned to the practice of law to support his family. Unable to pay taxes on his extensive properties, and forced to give up the family’s plantation seat, William Holcombe Bolling moved to Wytheville, where most of his children were born.”
“Grandmother Bolling was confined to bed. Edith had the responsibility to wash her clothing, turn her in bed at night, and look after her 26 canaries. In turn, Grandmother Bolling oversaw Edith’s education, teaching her how to read, write, speak a hybrid language of French and English, make dresses, and instilled in her a tendency to make quick judgments and hold strong opinions, personality traits Edith would exhibit her entire life.”
“As First Lady during World War I, Edith Bolling Wilson observed gasless Sundays, meatless Mondays, and wheatless Wednesdays to set an example for the federal rationing effort.”
“Woodrow Wilson....suffered a stroke in October 1919 which left him bedridden and partially paralyzed.”
“Edith Wilson and others in the President’s inner circle hid the true extent of the President’s illness and disability from the American public.”
My apologies and thanks for the correction. I wrote from memory and did not look it up, but her name was Edith.
Yes!
Unfair to Neville Chamberlain. He was buying time while he introduced conscription and prepared for war. What is Biden doing?
Chamberlain didn’t have much of a choice. And to his credit, even though in the end it didn’t matter much, he steadfastly did stand by Poland, because by the time Hitler took the rest of Czechoslovakia, he realized that Hitler could no longer be trusted.
You misspelled “Joe Stolen”
