He was not a friend of peace in the Middle East. The Arab Spring, which he supported as a move to democracy in the Middle East, was simply an attempt to expand Muslim tyranny in the area. When Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House during the Obama administration, he was treated very badly&#8211;even forced to leave through the back door. The Biden administration has been slightly more polite, and they say what they think they need to say, but their bottom line is the same.<\/p>\n<p>On October 25th, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/10\/25\/on-israel-biden-picks-up-where-obama-left-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Federalist<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Secretary of State Antony Blinken <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecBlinken\/status\/1716852947210973357\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contends<\/a>\u00a0that Hamas would gain no \u201cgreater\u201d victory \u201cthan allowing its brutality to send us down a path of terrorism and nihilism. We must not let it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>You can hear echoes of Barack Obama\u2019s insufferable moral equivalencies imbued in that statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The contention is a not-so-subtle warning to Israel, who will almost surely enter Gaza and try to dismantle the Hamas terror state \u2014 which has been indirectly and directly funded not only by Iran, the European Union, and the United Nations but also by the Obama and Biden administrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The insinuation, of course, is that Israel needs to temper its inclination to engage in \u201cterrorism and nihilism.\u201d It is a blood libel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>It is not \u201cterrorism\u201d to seek justice for the pregnant woman who had her baby cut from her body or the elderly couple who was burned alive. And eliminating those who committed Nazi-like atrocities against your citizens is no more nihilistic than tracking down Eichmann or demanding Emperor Hirohito unconditionally surrender.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The Biden administration is teeming with Obama-era Iran and Muslim Brotherhood fans.

Every action of the president \u2013 even his supposed morale-lifting trip to the country\u2013is meant to inhibit Israel from winning. Democrats are open to helping Israel defend itself but unopened to the prospect of destroying those who seek its end.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Let me amend that.
