No Surprise: Biden Is Caving to the Left on Israel — Because That’s What He Does
New York Post ^ | May 10, 2024 | Social Links forRich Lowry

Is anyone surprised that Joe Biden is caving? It’s what he does. In a disgracefully craven move, President Biden has paused weapons shipments to Israel to try to prevent the Jewish state from launching a full-scale offensive against the remaining Hamas military stronghold in Rafah.

It’s a policy shift sheathed in high-minded concern about the safety of civilians in Gaza but happens to be a change in direction that is welcome to a political left that has whipped itself into an anti-Israel frenzy in the months since the Oct. 7 attack.

Not too long ago, Biden was averring that Hamas had to be destroyed and that our commitment to Israel was “ironclad.” That was before the war — waged in a high-density urban environment against an adversary that hides among civilians — created an international backlash and a political revolt among progressives braying “Genocide.”

Strange that Israel can’t launch their own offensive without money, munitions, or input from the U.S.

It's pretty tough to be a country of less than 10 million, surrounded by more than a billion enemies.

Plus, they get to do a lot of things the U.S. needs to do, but it would be a lot harder for us, like take out Iranian nukes.

You are way overdefending Biden. He has gone a lot farther than Obama ever did. Remember, Biden was the one who forced Obama to support gay marriage.

Another Biden defender. Duly noted.

Remember when Biden was pulling Obama's strings to go to the left? Obama wanted to run in 2012 as being against gay marriage, until Biden outflanked him, and forced him into it. Biden is the real one. Your constant defending of Biden is very misguided.

Biden is destroying the D party

which, given how corrupted and communist it has become, isn’t a bad thing....

unfortunately, every nation on earth is watching him backstab one of America’s closest allies, and during hostilities too

Communist China will see dozens of countries shifting to it for political and defense support

all around the world

Maybe the Bidens are getting $$$ for this perfidy? Where’s Hunter?

They could have easily moved to any Eurasian country or nation-state, instead of "taking back" their "homeland" under false pretenses and Smoky Backroom deals and moved to an area that was surrounded by Arabs.

Plus, they get to do a lot of things the U.S. needs to do, but it would be a lot harder for us, like take out Iranian nukes.

No, they're God's Chosen People, they can fight their own wars and manufacture their own war materials and print their own money.

Biden’s puppetmasters putting the gloves on Israel, leaving the border wide open while sending billions for trench warfare and drones in Ukraine after still licking wounds from the Afghanistan FUBAR, hyperinflation in a recession, wokeness and worse.

Whatever Ukraine has on Biden’s( and Nuland and others) has got to be so bad even the democrats might be appalled? Seeing bi partisan Ukrainian flag wavers in the house while ignoring Israel’s plight against true terror is a snapshot of a mighty country in distress.

Nothing like social engineering and idiots throwing money at all the wrong countries for all the wrong reasons while American’s go hungry, pile up debt and drugs eating the souls of a few million.

IDF has enough weapons now. The question is if they expend too much in Gaza will there be any to fight off a potential Hezbollah attack?

Biden can’t even feed himself.

He’s only a pawn being used by the left. It’s the worst case of elder abuse I have ever seen.

Biden sold out Israel for Michigan’s 15 Electoral Votes.
