Barack Obama’s antipathy toward Israel during his two terms was unprecedented at the time, but it looks like Joe Biden is going to give him a run for his money.
As PJM’s Robert Spencer noted earlier, Joe Biden “has pointedly refrained from calling the head of the government of our most reliable ally in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” which could be an ominous warning that relations with our most important ally in the Middle East over the next four years will experience some major setbacks.
In his first three weeks in office Biden has spoken with many world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin (OMG collusion, right?) and Chinese President Xi Jinping, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been snubbed. This makes Biden “the first president in modern history to punt on bolstering U.S.-Israel relations during his initial days in office,” the Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo noted. “Every president going back to at least Ronald Reagan in 1981 made contact with their Israeli counterpart within a week of assuming office.” Even the notoriously anti-Israel Barack Obama called Israeli leaders on his first day in office. He also called Palestinian leaders the same day, but still made a stronger effort than Biden. President Trump, of course, had a great relationship with Israel and quickly invited Netanyahu to Washington, D.C., within days of taking office. President Trump went on to make historic progress with Israel, moving U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, brokering several peace deals between Israel and Arab nations in the Middle East.
The reason for snubbing Netanyahu is not clear, but the Israeli prime minister had a very good relationship with President Trump, and both were highly critical of the Iran nuclear deal implemented by the Obama-Biden administration, which Trump rescinded and Biden promised to reinstate.

“Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris,” he wrote on Twitter. “Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.”
I guess he spoke too soon.
Dear Net...I’m funding the Palestinians. I’m sure you approve....signed...Basement Joe.
Yep. Joe’s handlers don’t like the Jews at all (except as donors).
Biden is essentially Obama’s third term, so the point is moot.
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Attacks Christianity
e) Serves islam
f) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I don’t know about that but he certainly is the most anti-American president.
CornPop doesn’t have a clue where he is or what’s he’s doing.
President Harris and those around her certainly do and will do their best to be Israel’s worst enemy.
Just wait till all the regime change and protests start. The Abraham Accords will fall apart in no time.
And perhaps that’s why we are into a stunningly cold winter.
It starts with American Jews. As long as they vote democrat this is what you get. Not my circus.
Nah, it’s Obama looking to make Biden the most anti-Israel President since Obama.
Irrelevant what he's looking for, he's on his way.
RE: And perhaps that’s why we are into a stunningly cold winter.
I wonder what Israel has to do with this ...
Netanyahu was doing what politicians do — being an opportunist. It didn’t work out, but ultimately Israel will weather this storm.
What choice do they have?
Worse than Barack Hussein is a high bar to clear.
I don’t think Biden has that much hate (or awareness) in him, but I’m certain his VP and his mostly antisemitic followers do.
It could happen.
You forgot the most important fact. As an exceptionally well paid operative of communist China, Xi JinBiden Joe does EVERYTHING to benefit the ChiComs.
c) Strengthens America’s enemies
Although I’m not quite sure Hao to parse that yuan, given that Zhou thinks they are friends...
*shrug* Sloe Joe did promise a Dark Winter...
The idiots behind him need a distraction war. Time to increase pressure on the ME?
Joe Biden is the running anything. Obama’s commies are running the show
