Avast ye mateys, Biden's Mideast policy be a wretched mess. He be playin' pretend with a moral equivalency between Israel and them scallywag Palestinians, makin' our ally a prime target for more attacks. Aye, he be needin' a compass to find his way out of this sea of trouble! Arrr!
In a playful and humorous tone, President Joe Biden's attempt to navigate his Israel policy post-Oct. 7 is likened to a 17th-century pirate trying to have it both ways. Despite claiming to "stand with Israel," Biden is wary of alienating supporters of the Palestinians, including his own wife, leading him to encourage Israel to back down against Iranian provocations.The administration's actions at the United Nations, such as abstaining from crucial votes on ceasefire resolutions, further highlight this equivocation. The passing of UNSCR 2728 without condemning Hamas's actions or making a ceasefire contingent on hostage release demonstrates a disregard for Israel's security and plays into the hands of terrorist groups.Historical examples of bipartisan U.S. abstentions on similar resolutions show a pattern of failing to support Israel unequivocally, perpetuating the illusion of equivalence between the conflicting parties. The author argues for a clear and unwavering stance in support of Israel's self-defense, as demonstrated by the recent bipartisan emergency funding request for Israel in Congress.Ultimately, the article calls for a return to the clarity of Zionist thinker Ze’ev Jabotinsky's "The Iron Wall" doctrine, emphasizing that only a united U.S.-Israel front can deter attacks and pave the way for lasting peace in the region.
