My latest in PJ Media:
He called Xi. He called Putin. But three weeks into his presidency, Old Joe has pointedly refrained from calling the head of the government of our most reliable ally in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And so it’s clear now: Biden’s handlers intend to put immense strain on the U.S.-Israel alliance over the next four years, at a time when Israel and the rest of the free world are threatened by Iranian mullahs who are newly emboldened amid all the signs that Biden’s handlers plan to readopt Obama’s appeasement policies toward them.
According to the Washington Free Beacon Friday, Old Joe is “the first American leader in 40 years not to contact Israel’s leaders as one of his first actions in the White House, setting up what could be four years of chilly relations between America and its top Middle East ally.” For “every president going back to at least Ronald Reagan in 1981 made contact with their Israeli counterpart within a week of assuming office.”
Biden’s unjustly maligned predecessor “not only called Netanyahu but made the historic decision to invite him to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 22, 2017, two days after he took the oath of office.” And even the lodestar, the hero, the Nobel Laureate Barack Hussein Obama “called the Jewish state’s leaders on his first day in office,” and “also called Palestinian leaders that day, laying the groundwork for that administration’s failed bid to foster peace between Israel and the Palestinians.”
Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh reported that “there has been a phone call between myself and Mr. Hady Amr – deputy assistant secretary for Israeli and Palestinian affairs.”
Mr. Amr reaffirmed what this administration declared during the election campaign: It will restore the aid, it will reopen the PLO office in Washington, and it will open a U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem. This is an important political message. In addition, the administration intends to restore aid to UNRWA and aid to the Palestinian people. These issues, as far as we are concerned, fall under the definition of confidence-building measures between this administration and us.
The import of that call was as clear as the import of the snub of Netanyahu: the money will flow again, the jihad will be enabled again, the Israelis will be treated with contempt again, the peace accords that Trump enabled will be put on the back burner, if not repudiated outright. Everything is back on track now after a four-year speed bump.
Joe’s handlers have always made their intentions clear. President-in-waiting Harris said in a late October interview with Arab American News: “Joe and I believe in the worth and value of every Palestinian and every Israeli and we will work to ensure that Palestinians and Israelis enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, prosperity and democracy.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
CogitoErgoSum says
Joe listens to the words of his palmist and his palmist told him the lines in Joe’s palm favored waiting a bit before contacting Netanyahu.
Keith O says
Not contacting one of America’s strongest allies in the Middle East is a clear indicator of sleazy Joe’s intentions, he is probably taking instructions from camel toe already as she gets ready to take the top job.
Westman says
Well, it got worse. Not only has Netanyahu been “cancel cultured”, so has Israel as the Biden Admin cancelled sanctions on Iran and informed the EU that the US is ready to talk with Iran about returning to the JCPOA.
Maybe Biden could send some US nuclear scientists to help Iran get to a nuclear device and be more successful in hiding their work? He’s doing everything else to destroy Israel. What’s next? Playing policeman for the ICC?
Israel has a tough decision. Take on Iran, now, or maybe not survive after Iran gets the bomb.
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
Phil Copson says
Biden has also insulted Saudi Arabia – which may to help strengthen the working relationship between Saudi Arabia and Israel, if neither believe that they can rely upon the US to support them against Iran.
Cue heavy Saudi investment in the Israeli arms industry ? and chalk up an “own goal” for the Biden administration.
Infidel says
Good point. Similar thing happened during Obama: b’cos of the perception that the US was tilting towards Iran, the Saudis and their allies started getting closer to Israel under the table. It was a part of what enabled the Abraham Accords, followed by Israel’s normalization of relations w/ Sudan and Morocco
And yeah – cancelling $500,000,000,000 arms sales to Riyadh just meant that that money will no longer go to our defense companies: however, defense companies from Israel, India, Russia can all bid for that same business. Imagine if a company, say Intel, cancelled billions in sales to one of its customers. That customer would simply go to one of Intel’s competitors and that transaction would still happen: it’s just that Intel wouldn’t be part of it. In fact, to this day, that’s been our rationale for doing business w/ China
Yeah, this is an unbelievably stupid administration, that believes that Iran and Turkey are allies!
Wellington says
Same with the stupidity of canceling the Keystone Pipeline. Now, Canada will sell the oil to China and Americans will pay more at the pump. All those who ACTUALLY voted for Biden are at least useful idiots, especially the “little guy” who did so and whose best interests were far better served by Trump.
Infidel says
John Kerry should be sent to Texas and be forced to manually spin those windmills, so that some power can be restored to those moronic districts that voted for those windmills
Debra says
Stupid implies a lack of deliberate intent. These are calculated moves. If they were not, the law of averages would give us a win from time to time. Biden and cohorts are deliberately selling out the country. Traitors all.
James Lincoln says
Good point, Debra.
Wellington says
If so, Debra, and I don’t dispute you here, then evidence of the greatest stupidity. One, after all, can be deliberately stupid.
gravenimage says
I have to agree, Debra. Not calling Israel for almost a month noW is anything but an oversight.
Spiro says
Why didn’t he call
It’s simple
No body told him to
When your mental faculties are slipping
gravenimage says
Biden’s press ecretary noted that this was deliberate.
Jack Holan says
Uncle Joe, just maybe the Arab States, after 70 years of dealing with the Palestinians know more than you. They’ve poured billions of Petro-dollars into the bank accounts of Yasser Arafat, Abu Abbas et al with zero results since the old guard are maximalists and have educated their people to be the same. The Arab States have finally bowed out since they know it’s a no sum losing proposition to deal with Hamas and the PLO who prefer conflict over Peace. They prefer violence over truly constructive dialog unless they’re guaranteed certain results as they were last time by Kerry. The Arab States in the new 21st Century are willing to try Peace on their own with Israel without the Palestinians. Joe in some cases as with the Palestinians the stick works better than the carrot.
Infidel says
Actually, to be fair here, for decades, it was the Arab states that saw to it that there was no resolution of the Palestinian problem. For instance, the Arab League had a resolution whereby no member country could naturalize resident Palestinian Arabs, since the long term goal was seeing the end of Israel. That’s why there is the issue of inter-generational refugees.
Yeah, governments in several of these countries may have changed, and the Gulf countries may have tired of the Palis, but if they’re genuine, they should revisit the Arab League and simply declare that Palis who’ve been living in their countries for more than __ years would be eligible for naturalization. In fact, a lot of these countries, which have expat workers from non-muslim countries, should instead invite the Palis to move in and do the work, so that they don’t face long term demographic threats from non-Arab populations

True, Infidel–but I don’t see that happening.
Templer says
The sleeper joe called himself achirstine but deep down he’s Muslim just like ombama that’s why he hates Israel and loves iran and pzlstine god save the USA under this trater.
andrew mckendrick says
Disagree Templer , old Joe is nothing more than a corrupt lapsed Catholic.
gravenimage says
I don’gt see any evidence that Biden himself is Muslim.
Walter Sieruk says
One of the reasons why bogus President Biden has made no effort and shown no interest on contracting the heads ofthe State of Israel is that wicked old Joe owes the president ,mullah Rouhani of Iran much.
For Biden administration will ,no doubt, is the most un-American, treacherous, subversive and even treasonous to the Constitutional Government of the United States of America,
To make matters worse, this coming awful administration will come into being because a stolen national election by massive voter fraud and rigged voting machines.
This treachery and blatant travesty of a national rigged election is an is a terrible affront and violation to and affront to the Law of the US Constitution the American spirit of a true and honest and real Presidential election system.
Let’s not be hopefully unrealistic and naive 2021 was the last genuine national American election this nation will ever have this coming Biden/Harris administration has the total essence of the Red/ Green alliance in it and backing it.
It’s no wonder than that the Muslim tyrants of are in power in that Islamic aggressive, hostile Islamic tyrannical regime are euphoric about the Biden administration.
It’s also very likely that this despicable “mullah regime” of Iran had it sinister insidious Islamic hand playing apart in that November rigged national election. For in the video documentary entitled TRUMP CARD by Dinesh D’ Souza . His film exposed that their number one, top, goal for the year of 2020 was to scrap the Trump administration and replace it with a Biden administration. So the ayatollahs ,mullahs and other officials of that Islam Iranian regime schemed ,funded ,support and promoted the Biden President campaign in every was that it was able to, by hook or by crook, that “mullah tyranny” aided the Biden campaign.
Shirley Ann says
Doesn’t Joe display his Dementia, whenever he needs it & at the Drop of a Penny, he will revert to his Usual Blow-Hard, Bully Act? He was the SideKick of BathHouse Barry for too long, & their desire to Crush Israel, is on the Agenda.
James Lincoln says
Because of the fraudulent Biden / Harris administration, Israel should assume that the United States is no longer an ally – and make all decisions accordingly…
Infidel says
Not just that, they should also look for new allies. They could start w/ India, and then use that relationship to co-opt some of the Arab Gulf countries, like Saudi Arabia and Emirates, which already have damaged relations w/ Pakistan. Or maybe be a part of a larger alliance against China, which right now has belt/road strangleholds on most muslim countries, if not all
gravenimage says
Sad but likely so.

Insult: Biden First President in 40 Years Not to Contact Israel’s Leaders Upon Taking Office
……………..
Yes, it’s disgusting. And it wasn’t just upon taking office–it’s now been almost a month, and Biden *still* has not contacted Israel.
Infidel says
Actually, he’s just done it yesterday, but you’re right, and the Israelis see the writing on the wall: that the US is no longer an ally

Thank you for that update, Infidel.
“Biden finally calls Netanyahu after four-week snub to reset US-Israel relations”

Aastra says
same goes for india too. after biden coming to power attacks against india intensified by the liberal gang.
JohnTheRevelator says
This is no surprise considering the Dem party is full of Israel-haters. All it means it that Israel will largely have to go it alone for the next 4 years. Senile old Joe won’t be able to stop Israel from defending itself against Iran’s nukes and if they have to, Israel will bomb Iran because their survival is on the line.
What the stupid Dems don’t realize is that Iran is just as likely to nuke US cities as Israeli ones. Unfortunately it seems it will take a nuclear 9/11 to get the West to wake up and treat Islam as a real threat to our survival.
Should Biden allow Iran to get nukes then it will happen. they don’t even need to launch missiles, they can pass them onto muslim terrorist groups who’ll put them on shipping containers and then set them off in western nations.
If the Dems try to take an adversarial role against Israel there’s little they can do. The last thing they need is to get into a potential nuclear war against a former ally. Israel may be small but they have hundreds of nukes and if pushed hard enough they’ll use them against any nation that threatens them, so the Dems can go pound sand.
Of course the last thing anyone needs on top of all the problems we have is a nuclear war because it could eventually kill all life on the planet. This is why Muslims must be prevented from having nukes, because they’re crazy enough to use them.
Simon says
Does he know how to?
somehistory says
biden says he ‘loves children more than people.”
Get him on the phone with someone who sounds very much like a child, butter him up and then make demands….moslims demand and get…so it might work for Israel.
But, k harris was making many of the “calls” and some were saying that was so strange, and ‘rare’ and that’s most likely why biden finally did call and finally did speak with the PM and discussed some serious stuff…for an hour. Serious stuff, if I recall correctly, included ‘climate change.’ Probably wise not to tell him any Israeli secrets or intentions regarding iran or syria.
