Israel was attacked on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists from neighboring Gaza breached the Israeli security perimeter and wreaked havoc. They tortured, raped, burned, and killed over 1,200 civilians and took over 100 hostages. There is a tremendous amount of evidence proving that Iran is supporting Hamas and the Hezbollah troops attacking Israel from the north. Israel has been retaliating on both fronts since the initial invasion. America rapidly condemned the attack on Israel and pledged our support to our greatest friend and ally in the Middle East.
In this country, the Radical Left and the academic field were quick to begin protesting against Israel, condemning the military action it was launching on the Hamas infrastructure in Gaza. This support for Hamas and the Palestinians was strong, and it got the attention of Joe Biden and his Administration. The Administration immediately began tempering support and ramping up criticism of Israel’s military action and Netanyahu’s leadership. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, went so far as to call for immediate elections in Israel to replace Netanyahu. Schumer’s comments were surprising to Americans but, more importantly, insulting to Israel.
Joe Biden and Bibi Netanyahu had a thirty-minute call on Thursday, and the initial readout is not a good sign for American-Israeli relations. Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken both reported that Israel still has our unwavering support, BUT, if Israel does not make some changes in their military tactics, America will reassess their policies toward Israel. WHAT???. That is far from unwavering. That is tantamount to your wife saying I love you just the way you are, but if you don’t reduce your golf rounds monthly, she will have to reconsider how much she loves you.
I have been critical of the Biden team second-guessing every move by Israel and pushing them to negotiate a cease-fire for months. They also have been voicing their displeasure about civilian casualties in Gaza, even though Hamas is using civilians as human shields. It was Israel that was attacked, and it is Israel that can determine its level of retaliation.
There is enormous irony and hypocrisy on behalf of the Administration in its demands of Israel and its interference in Israle’s political leadership. Can you imagine the backlash if Netanyahu or Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau publicly called for elections to replace Biden? There would be outrage.
Joe Biden, his military, and the State Department have botched nearly every situation that needed attention in the last three years. Starting with the botched evacuation of troops from Afghanistan, which resulted in the death of thirteen American service people and numerous Afghanistan civilians, abandoning the thousands of Afghanistan civilians who had worked with the American military, America allowing Russia to invade Ukraine without any resistance, and the failure to have a plan to evacuate Americans from Haiti as that country evolves into chaos. With that track record, and not to mention the litany of horrendous domestic and economic decisions by President Biden, who does he think he is dictating policy to Netanyahu and Israel?
It doesn’t appear in the readout, but some heard Bibi end the tense call on Thursday by saying, “Joe, don’t call me, I’ll call you when I need advice.” The next thing Joe heard was a resounding click.

Biden is a train wreck. Everything he touches produces a negative effect. Biden’s never been in the military. Netanyahu has been and his brother died in the rescue at Entebbe airport in Uganda. I wonder if he would be saying the same if we had another terrorist strike on America? Only God knows how many terrorists are already here and planning an attack? He let soldiers get bombed several times in the Middle East without retaliation. We even have the Mexican President making demands. The Palestinians are threatening not to vote for him. What? 1% or less of our population? And he still caves in to them. The law of percentages is not on our side with all the illegals (newcomers) crossing our borders. Chinese, Russians, Iranians and who knows how many others. Biden is a liar, a snake, deceitful and is not a Catholic. He wouldn’t stand for the things he does if he was the real thing! Even the Muslims don’t stand for LGBTQ and the rest of the alphabet. Let them celebrate their debauchery in Baghdad or even Gaza and see if they make it back to the states. An earthquake in New Jersey? Just like Jesus said to the Jews, “you can discern the weather but can’t discern the signs of the times.” I think this is just the beginning. We will see much more in the coming months but many will curse God when they are the reason these things are coming upon us. And the democrats will not be immune to it either!
