We hear nothing from the Biden administration of how they would propose for Israel to rid themselves of Hamas.
Many years ago George Orwell coined an oft-quoted phrase “objectively pro-fascist” that comes from this paragraph:
“Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me.’”
As per Orwell, on Monday, March 25, the Biden administration betrayed America’s longtime ally Israel and effectively went “objectively pro-terrorist” in favor of Hamas’s survival by abstaining from the latest U.N. Security Council vote on a Gaza ceasefire.
It had immediate ramifications.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled plans to send a delegation to Washington on Monday after the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution calling for an ‘immediate cease-fire’ in the Jewish state’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
“The resolution passed the Security Council 14-0, with the US abstaining, declining to exercise its veto power in the latest rebuke of Israel by the Biden administration.
“In a statement, the Israeli PM’s office called the US abstention ‘a clear retreat from the consistent position of the US in the Security Council since the beginning of the war.’
“‘This withdrawal hurts both the war effort and the effort to release the hostages, because it gives Hamas hope that international pressure will allow them to accept a cease-fire without the release of our hostages,’ Netanyahu’s office added.”
Indeed. But we should not be surprised here. The Biden administration seems to have at best minimal interest in terrorism or terrorists whether in Moscow (where some 140 people were just mowed down), Israel (where women were shot in the head by Hamas while being raped), or in our own country, having left our border open to anyone for President Biden’s entire term with millions of migrants from multiple countries having arrived unvetted on our soil.
President Biden and his administration seem to have one overweening concern—votes.
