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?”
National Security Memorandum 20 is not exactly a venerable cornerstone of American foreign policy. It is only a few weeks old, dating from Feb. 8. It seeks, among other things, to “prevent arms transfers that risk facilitating or otherwise contributing to violations of human rights or international humanitarian law.”
Given the fact that Biden issued it during a time when Israel was being falsely accused of massive human rights violations and when the Biden regime was under heavy pressure to betray Israel or face a massive loss of votes from Muslims and their allies in November, this memorandum has the look of a trap that was being laid and is about to be sprung now.
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. Mr. Biden urged Congress last month to approve the sale of F-16s to Turkey, even as it massacres Kurds in Iraq and Syria.” No one asked Jake Sullivan at Monday’s press briefing if arms sales to Turkey would be cut off.
This is just the latest in a growing series of indications that the Biden regime is abandoning Israel and pulling for a Hamas victory. After threats from Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Gaza City) to withhold the Muslim vote if the regime doesn’t betray Israel, the regime began doing just that, step by step, in slow motion, sending $100 million to Gaza and $10 billionto Hamas’ financiers, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and putting ever-increasing pressure on the Netanyahu government.
Aside from the monstrous immorality of supporting forces that really do want to commit the genocide that Israel is falsely accused of committing, this is short-sighted in the extreme. What do Biden regime apparatchiks think will happen if Hamas defeats Israel and survives this war? Do they think that the jihadis will be so overflowing with gratitude to the U.S. that they won’t ever strike Americans or U.S. interests? They’re in for a rude surprise.
Sadly, the US could reap what it is sowing. It has been written that the US will suffer a judgment from God. I ask that it does not, but God’s will be done. We sing “God Bless America”, and yet God has blessed America more than any country on earth, ever, and yet we are spitting in His eye. Zechariah 2:8 -
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: “After the glory hath He sent me unto the nations which despoiled you, for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.
What percentage of the Dems "radical" (aka typical) leftist Anti-Israel base is ... Jewish ???
Is Senator Bernie Sanders Jewish ?
Is Chuck Schumer Jewish ?
What about the third of American Jews who thought Israel was an apartheid state before 07 Oct 2024?
IMHO, if you dig deeper, you will see that these leftist Jews belong to the "reform" sect, i.e. they aren't Orthodox.
Its the same in the Christian word, people such as myself who belong to more conservative denominations, are also politically conservative, while leftists belong to "progressive" denominations.
The US has spent billions of dollars and hundreds of lives ridding the world of terrorists and now we learn that the leader of this nation, supposedly the leader of the free world, actually supports and affirms terrorism. The man is evil!!
What can we do????
Politically, Netanyahu is the walking dead. While it is understandable the hostage families are being myopic. They are willing to put all Israelis at risk to save 100 people. The public will demand Netanyahu's political head on a platter when this is over. He was the PM for Israeli history's most significant intelligence and military failure. He is to blame, as is Galant and the previous PM, who also let Gaza slide during his time. There will be a political war after Gaza, so Israel needs to finish this war ASAP. Hezbollah will not risk its destruction if Hamas has fallen. They can begin deactivating Reserves and rebuilding their military. Hezbollah will be a battle in the future. Secure Gaza, make it a sterile zone for weapons and rethink your border security to make it harder next time the Palestinians decide to attack Israel.
This is all politics to Biden; he wants to avoid becoming the next Jimmy Carter.
Good post.
Minimizing civilian casualities requires a lot of expensive weaponry and munitions. To force the IDF to go medieval on Hamas, restricting munitions would be the way to go. Then, afterwards, you can shame them for doing so.
Beheading babies. Gutting people. Raping women to death.
Biden apparently approves, ad does Kamala’s daughter.
They are really communists
Yet another uncomfortable post which must be made.
Israel was founded by Socialist/Communists.
David Ben-Gurion, Lennist.
Golda Meir, Socialist.
I think they really hate that Israel has moved to the right, lead by people such as Prime Minister Netanyahu, and this in large part is the cause of their recent political attacks.
I am not a crook!
“This is all politics to Biden; he wants to avoid becoming the next Jimmy Carter”
to late for old joey he is the next jimmy carter.
“I am not a crook!”
Elsie where did that come from? I would never suggest such a thing, ever.
I was referring to Nixon.
We ran him out of office.
We can do the same with sleepy Joe.

It’s not Moslems they’re pandering to. It’s Satan.
