The Biden-Harris team will use every excuse to order Israel to leave.

“The ashtray in the situation room is full. Let’s call a truce.”

For several days starting October 7, 2023, the United States immediately instructed Israel to soften its response. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the absurd request: “It’s critical that we start flowing aid to Gaza as soon as possible.” (Related: Morgan Murphy: Don’t ask Israel to pull any punches)

This request makes as much sense as a screen door on a submarine. If you want to win the war, don’t help the enemy until he surrenders.

Wisely, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignored the US commander-in-chief. Since October 8, Bibi has steadfastly vowed to defeat Hamas and restore deterrence to the Middle East.

But like a Bruce Springsteen song, the Biden-Harris administration continues to repeat its calls for an Israeli ceasefire. In December 2023, less than six weeks after Hamas’ brutal medieval attack on Israel, President Joe Biden announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lose support The cause is “indiscriminate bombing” of civilians.

Never mind that Israel is fighting for its very survival. Never mind that Israeli tactics work. Don’t worry about Hamas killed 46 American citizens To this day, they are holding seven American hostages. Never mind that Israel takes more care to prevent civilian casualties than any military in the history of warfare.

According to Biden and Harris’ logic, the United States would have started shipping Band-Aids to Tokyo after Midway, or airlifted crackers to Germany after bagging Normandy.

The situation gets even worse.

When Iran decided pile up Was the American president sending a signal of support to Israel’s most loyal ally in the Middle East by firing 185 drones, 110 surface-to-air missiles, and 36 cruise missiles at Israel? No. In April, Biden again called for a ceasefire and ordered Israel:win the victory” (Related: Morgan Murphy: Let Israel win the war)

After student protests on Ivy League campuses this spring, Biden called for a ceasefire again From the White House State Dining Room. The speech displayed the president’s astonishing naivety about how to win the war. “A ceasefire…will allow us to safely and effectively distribute aid to all who need it,” the president said.

And what will happen to the safety of the people of Israel? Biden chided the nation, saying, “I want you to take a step back and think about what would happen if you let this moment pass.”

Thankfully, Israel once again ignored Biden, choosing instead to field top Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and Mohamed Deif in Gaza.

In response, the Biden-Harris administration suspended shipments of 2,000 bombs in July. U.S. troops were used not to free American hostages held in Gaza, but to set up a laborious pier project to deliver aid to displaced Palestinians. The floating dock lasted 20 days and cost U.S. taxpayers $320 million. (Related: Morgan Murphy: Joe Biden’s Gaza pier washed away — along with $320 million in taxpayer dollars)

In September, White House Press Secretary John Kirby said Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was a “major obstacle” to ceasefire talks.

As it turned out, there was a “big obstacle” lurking behind Rafa.

Enter, stage left, Vice President Kamala Harris. Back in March, Veep did what it does best. completely wrong answer For questions no one asked.

“We have made it clear in multiple conversations and on every point that a large-scale military operation in Rafah is a big mistake. I studied the map.” she said.

Imagine the Vice President’s relief when she saw the map.

Fortunately, Israel ignored our strategically difficult attack. Because it was in Rafah that the Israel Defense Forces sent Hamas leaders this Wednesday.

If Israel had listened to either Biden or Harris, Hezbollah’s leadership would have been intact, Hamas would still be in charge of Gaza, and the mastermind behind the October 7 attack would still be alive. .

But on Wednesday, instead of offering another congratulations, Kamala Harris left our allies to decide their next steps for themselves. called out to Israel To “end the war in Gaza”.

Some people never learn.
