With Friends Like Biden, Who Needs Enemies?

There he goes again!

From World Israel News: Biden threatens to veto Republican-backed bill to provide emergency aid to Israel

"President Joe Biden vowed Monday to veto a Republican-sponsored bill in the House of Representatives which would decouple aid to Israel from spending on the Ukraine war.

"The White House’s Office of Management and Budget released a statement Monday condemning the House bill, and calling on the Republican-controlled House and the Democratic-controlled Senate to pass a joint spending bill funding aid to both Israel and Ukraine."

The whole world has already given enough money and weapons to the Ukraine. It's time to help Israel in her time of need, during this disgraceful time of antisemitism and brazen attacks on Jews.

Too bad you hear Biden constantly make demands of Israel, criticize them, blackmail them -- without a word of censure about Hamas or the "Palestinians".

The great Caroline Glick has a column with the same sentiments titled 360 degrees of hostility: The Biden administration and Israel; Why is the United States continuing to hamper the ability of the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza?

"Speaking to the crowd in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod, Shifra Shahar, who runs a nonprofit organization that cares for the needs of soldiers, addressed her remarks to Israel’s leaders:

'"Government of Israel, defense minister, IDF chief of staff, get ahold of yourselves!

"'No other nation feeds and sustains its enemy! It’s truly an Israeli start-up.

"'We had elections last year. I don’t recall voting for [U.S. Secretary of State Antony] Blinken! Blinken is sitting in the war cabinet and protecting the interests of my enemy. … We have sons in Gaza. We have sons fighting. The entry of the trucks endangers them, prolongs the war, increases the number of casualties and delays the return of the hostages!

"'They tell me, ‘There are constraints.’ He who is constrained doesn’t win the war.

“'They tell me, ‘The Americans are threatening not to provide us with ammunition.’

“'To this, I say, if we were besieging them, we wouldn’t need ammunition! The war would end. They’d be screaming for help, returning the hostages and the war would end!'"

"The rising expressions of rage at the Biden administration from ordinary citizens are a testament to the shock and anger Israelis feel at what they perceive as a betrayal of Israel’s most basic interests by Biden and his top advisers.

"Three and a half months ago, when Biden came to Israel, most Israelis couldn’t imagine his warm embrace would transform into a torrent of hostile actions.

"The U.S. position requires Israel to choose between defeating Hamas at a profound cost to civilian lives or being defeated itself."

But I could imagine it, since both he and Obama had treated Netanyahu disgracefully in the past, and I never trusted either one of them. A hug and warm words for Israel look good in the newspapers, but when antisemitic American Muslims may not vote for Joe this year, he has no problem caving in to them and criticizing Israel.

The worst is yet to come if he somehow manages to get reelected.
