Biden's comments on CNN yesterday about a blunt refusal to provide Israel with weapons to defend itself against a clear and present danger mean that Biden has foolishly taken a path that magically offends both the Arab-American vote as well as the Pro-Israel community.
In doing so, he has paradoxically taken a path that was designed to increase his chances of reelection and yet reduced it all the more.
My family has been voting Democrat since Roosevelt and yet, as we find ourselves now in a dangerous world where the Democrats can no longer be trusted with a volatile world that requires clarity and consistency of vision and purpose, voting for Biden is looking more and more improbable to me.
Biden's fecklessness is feeding wars, rather than preventing them. His inability to stand up to the anti-semitism that is taking over the party my family has supported for nearly a hundred years is as painful as it is unmistakable.
In this pivotal time in history when the need for American leadership and projection of strength is at its greatest, Biden is providing us with a weak Jimmy Carter-like attempt to mollify everyone that results in not only the opposite, but also in creating a scenario that emboldens the enemies of America and her allies.
For clarity of purpose and a laser like focus on what is really going on rather than playing petty election year politics, one paradoxically need look no further than Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) of all people (shocking but watch this clip below and judge for yourself) to see clarity, vision and a resolute commitment to stand by US principles while sending a clear sign to allies that America can yet be a partner to be trusted.
Biden is a good man who in his heart and in his words is both pro-Israel and a true Zionist (i.e. believes in the moral right for indigenous people to self governance). How sad for him that his legacy will be more like a Neville Chamberlain than the Winston Churchill the world needs at this critical inflection point in history.
I don't know who to vote for in November, but Biden's actions which are winning applause from Hamas and Iran are clearly making it all but impossible to vote for him.
To paraphrase Golda Meir, “If Hamas puts down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today (or risk not being resupplied), there would be no more Israel.”
"Give Israel the tools it needs to win a war it cannot afford to lose".
