Anti-Israel Forces Encouraged by Biden’s Weakness
The National Interest ^ | Christian Whiton

Posted on 05/15/2021 9:24:41 AM PDT by Hojczyk

It has taken the Democrats all of four months in power to screw up the Middle East, the good guys in the region are not pleased or inclined to play along.

The biggest Trump breakthrough came with the Abraham Accords, which achieved a historic breakthrough between Israelis and Arabs, with the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.

Unfortunately, the new Biden administration refused simply to accept this new and beneficial status quo upon entering office. Biden officials set about immediately to let Iran out of the doghouse. The administration is set on resurrecting the 2015 nuclear deal that showered Tehran with money and still allowed it to keep the key parts of a nuclear program it today is using to enrich uranium far beyond what is necessary for peaceful purposes.

Biden officials also put the Palestinians, and therefore Hamas (aka, the Muslim Brotherhood), back on the payroll with $235 million in payments. Trump had cut them off in 2018, realizing they funded terrorism. In restoring the funds, the administration said it “wanted to restore credible engagement” between the Palestinians and Israelis. Certainly, it did: nothing is more credible than a rocket attack targeting civilians in one’s capital.

Beyond the money, malevolent forces throughout the Middle East, the chief of which is the Iranian government, saw that Biden wanted to turn back the clock to before Trump. Biden aides and the rest of the failed foreign policy establishment never stopped believing that “solving” the Middle East required peace between Palestinians and Israelis first, which in their minds required strong-arming Israel into a conciliatory agreement. Trump proved instead that suppressing Iran would create the conditions by which Arab governments would feel politically secure enough to formalize diplomatic and commercial ties with Israel.

Israel does not need an American president for protection. Does not matter if president Xiden emboldens their enemies, or not. Bring it on.

Biden didn’t count on the Israelis kicking the living crap out of Hamas. I guess he projects his own cowardice and weakness.

The Democrats Middle East policy is like supporters of socialism....

What if the US president funds the violence in Gaza, on the Islamist side?

Exactly. It’s not Biden’s weakness, but his aid and comfort.

I guess Bibi’s plan to call and congratulate Biden at 7 AM in the morning after the election didn’t deter the Palestinians? Knock me over with a feather.
Bibi showed his true backstabbing colors by endorsing the steal. And he has fantastic intelligence agencies so he has no excuse to say he didn’t know. Just more America hating Harvard trash it appears. Loves us when we are doing something for him.
I’ve known women like that. Learned to avoid them.

Democrat Party better wake up and get rid of Joe Biden immediately, or will he will end up destroying, not the USA...but the entire Democrat Party. Fact is: the Biden/Harris Team is hated by the vast majority of the American people. If any of your Democrats believe the political polls on Biden/Harris....sadly you have a screw loose or are high on reefer or too much booze!! Remember this, folks, No one watches Biden/Harris On TV, No one attends their rallies or speeches, and no listens to a word they utter!!! And.....Biden/Harris is no friend or ally of the state Of Israel...period. Biden is both a Jew and Israel hater!!! American Jews....wake up...you dummies!!!

The Muslim terrorists like PLO/PA/Abbas/Hamas are even MORE encourged by Biden’s giving money to them (so they can buy more weapons).
And Hezballah, which is in effect a projection of Iranian terrorism, is encouraged by Biden’s kissing up to the dictators in Tehran.
The are all encouraged, and abated, by Biden appointing Muslim terrorist moles into his administration..

This warfare is the direct result of the Biden regime, and he did it in less than 100 days, too

I think one point might be that countries that wouldn’t attack Israel with someone like Trump in office will now feel more emboldened to do so. The end times many nations will band together to attack- they won’t prevail but that’s what will happen. Likely there will have to be a really weak us president at the helm for nations to consider going after Israel as a group of nations, not wanting a world War to break out against these nations. Iden pulling our forces fro the region signals the nations that hate Israel that we won’t have Israel’s back if war does break out with israel

And yet the liberal Democrat Jews in the US support Biden and the Democrat’s hatred for Israel and also support the efforts of the Palestinians to kill Jews. And we are supposed to believe that the Jews have a superior intelligence?

They are the greatest threat in the world now and it’s not looking better for the next 3 years if we can last that long.

From a friend:

Biden’s accomplishments in less than four months:

So ... Israel is on fire, the war in the middle east, Major US pipeline hacked, price of everyday goods is skyrocketing, Russia is massing troops on the border with Ukraine. Ukraine is threatening to take Crimea back by force. China is threatening Taiwan and its neighbors while also threatening our ships and Navy. N Korea is testing missiles again and restarting its nuclear weapons program. Iran has been emboldened and making more than their normal threats.

Our southern border is a humanitarian disaster caused directly by this administration, and the administration that promised transparency is hiding it and not letting the media have access. Ford is closing a plant and moving it to Mexico after just bringing it back from Mexico because of the current Administration’s plan for Increased taxes.

Price of steel up 145%,

Lumber 126%,f

Wheat up 25%,

Food index up 25%,

Cotton 35%,

Silver 38%,

Copper 50%,

Soybeans 71%,

Oil 80%,

Pipeline jobs lost.

Wall construction jobs lost.

1.9 trillion in stimulus that funds the administration’s pet projects and only paid a fraction to the people.

29 trillion in debt with 4.8 trillion projected 2021 deficit before the

2 trillion dollar stimulus proposed today for the new green deal.

9+% unemployment with millions of job openings that can’t be filled because federal unemployment assistance makes it more advantageous for people to stay home than work.

C’mon Man ... an interesting time with the new administration but at least no more mean tweets ...

Times have changed. Smaller forces can now fight larger armies to a standstill. It’s the era of 4th generation warfare, and Israel has allowed way too much “diversity” in its country.

Certainly liberal Democrat Jews are sorely lacking in the wisdom department.
