The previous administration was not friendly to Israel, but Joe Biden’s presidency has taken that unfriendliness to a whole new level. The recent actions of the Biden administration have shown a blatant disregard for Israel and have been described as a spit in the face of Israel. The decision to cut off arms shipments to Israel after their operation in Rafah, a Hamas stronghold in Gaza, is highly troubling.

Additionally, the State Department’s claims of human rights violations by the Israeli Defense Forces only add insult to injury. The suggestion that Israel’s military campaign may have violated international law or best practices for protecting civilians is a clear betrayal of our ally. Despite these claims, the administration has not found specific instances to justify withholding military aid, but the damage has already been done.
The progressive Left has been pushing a false narrative of genocide by Israeli forces in Gaza, and the Biden administration’s actions only serve to fuel this narrative. By halting arms shipments and questioning Israel’s conduct, the administration is pandering to anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas sentiments. This move appears to be a political ploy to gain favor with certain groups, but it comes at the expense of undermining our support for Israel.
It’s concerning that the Biden administration is treading a fine line, attempting to appear tough on Israel while still maintaining some level of support. This approach risks alienating American Jewish voters while also failing to satisfy anti-Israel groups. It’s a shortsighted and politically risky maneuver that is unlikely to gain the desired results. Overall, the Biden administration’s handling of the situation demonstrates a lack of understanding and competence in dealing with complex international issues.
