Would a supporter of Israel really fill his foreign policy staff with those who hate the Jewish State? My latest in FrontPage:
Just days after Joe Biden was inaugurated, pro-Erdogan Turkish journalist Hakkı Öcal, according to Ahval News, “highlighted a report on the strong presence of Jews in the cabinet of U.S. President Joe Biden.” The report claimed that there was an “over 50 percent Jewish presence in the new U.S. cabinet,” and pointed Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CIA Deputy Director David Cohen, among others. But Öcal was off base: among Biden’s handlers, Jewish and non-Jewish, there are few, if any, staunch friends of Israel. After just a few months in office, it was clear that Joe Biden’s handlers’ administration was shaping up to be the most anti-Israel presidency since the founding of the modern State of Israel.
Robert Malley, Special Envoy to Iran, has become notorious over the years for his support for Iran’s Islamic regime and pronounced distaste for Israel. The Washington Times revealed in February 2021 that back in July 2019, “Iran’s smooth, English-speaking foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, met with Robert Malley, who was President Obama’s Middle East adviser, in an apparent bid to undermine the Trump team and lay the groundwork for post-Trump relations.”
Malley was a good choice for such an assignment. An Israeli security official noted in February 2008 that Malley “has expressed sympathy to Hamas and Hizbullah and offered accounts of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that don’t jibe with the facts.” Obama dropped Malley in May 2008 after it came to light that he had met with representatives of Hamas, but six months later sent him as an envoy to Egypt and Syria.
Meanwhile, Reema Dodin is a deputy director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs. According to the Jerusalem Post, “during the Second Intifada, in 2002, Dodin spoke about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with residents of Lodi, California, saying that ‘suicide bombers were the last resort of a desperate people.’” Also, “in 2001, Dodin took part in a demonstration at UC Berkeley calling for the university to divest from Israel….The demonstrators compared Israel to apartheid South Africa.”
In a similar vein, Biden’s handlers appointed Maher Bitar the Senior Director for Intelligence on the National Security Council. In 2006, while a student at Georgetown University, Bitar was a member of the executive board of the viciously pro-jihad, anti-Israel Students for Justice in Palestine, and was seen dancing in front of a banner that said “Divest from Israel Apartheid.”
The Deputy Secretary of State is Wendy Sherman, who was the lead negotiator of Barack Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal with Iran. The State Department’s undersecretary for civilian security, democracy and human rights is Uzra Zeya. According to the Jewish News Service, Zeya “worked for the magazine Washington Report on Middle East Affairs and its publishing group, American Educational Trust. The Washington Report has questioned the loyalty American Jews have to the United States; published accusations against the ‘Jewish lobby’; claimed American Jews control the media; and accused the Mossad of perpetrating the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy and the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.”
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel-Palestine is Hady Amr. In an unhinged 2002 rant, Amr repeated Palestinian jihad propaganda, declaring: “I have news for every Israeli: a very large proportion of the more than 150 million children and youth in the Arab World now have televisions, and they will never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children.”
Undersecretary of Defense for Policy is Colin Kahl. According to Israel Hayom, “Kahl has quite the anti-Israel record. He thinks the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Iraq was 1981 was a mistake. In 2012, he acted to remove recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital from the Democratic party’s platform. In 2015, he was among those to formulate the Iran nuclear deal. In 2016, at the end of his term, then-US President Barack Obama tasked him with enlisting support for the anti-Israel UN Security Council Resolution 2334 that determined Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria were a violation of international law.”
Have Biden’s handlers appointed a balancing group of strong supporters of Israel, who will move to prevent this unsavory group (which is larger than just those named here) from disrupting America’s relationship with its strongest, most reliable ally in the West? Is there any brake to the ability of the anti-Israel group in Biden’s administration to force Israel to make potentially life-threatening concessions to the Palestinian jihad force. The answer to both questions is no.

The next GOP president needs to purge the State Department of EVERYONE IN IT! So that there are no advocates for Iran, against recognition of Taiwan, against Armenia and so on. They should be at the leading edge of the America First foreign policy
RichardL says

They should open up the British Mutaween – the Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, along the lines of their equivalents in Saudi Arabia and Taliban’s Afghanistan. In fact, since 2016, even the Saudi one is banned “from pursuing, questioning, asking for identification, arresting and detaining anyone suspected of a crime”. The crimes in question being shariah-only crimes. The UK version can give their Mutaween the power to hunt down people for such crimes, like reading a Bible, doing a communion, and any number of other Christian things

Biden’s Team of Israel-Haters
Would a supporter of Israel really fill his foreign policy staff with those who hate the Jewish State?
……………………
Damn good question.
Meanwhile, Biden can’t wait to give away the store to the Mullahs in Iran…
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden and anti-Semitic ,anti- Israel crew of his administration are all greatly overruled by God.
Who is for Israel .As the Bible informs it reader in Psalm 135 :4, For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself , Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore , anti- Israel Joe Biden along with his crew of a similar mindset will only have their evil scheming ant-Israel policies come back down hard on them in the end.
As Proverbs 11;21, reads “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished .”
The Mayor says
Xiden`s minions remind me of JImmy Carter, who couldn`t (and, still can`t) decide who he disliked more, Jewish people, or, Israel.
Joel says
Biden`s associates are like Jimmy Carter, as, they can`t decide who they dislike more, Jews, or, Israel.

Pseudo President Biden who is very much against the State of Israel along with crew he has for his administration as Robert Malley, Maher Bitar , Reema Dodin , Wendy Sherman and Colin Kahi will never be able to destroy Israel if that is really their actual insidious scheming goal.
The reason that they will fail in the goal is because striving against the Will of God. The truth is the God had given all land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people.
This may be found in the Bible, as Pseudo President Biden who is very much against the State of Israel along with crew he has for his administration as Robert Malley, Maher Bitar , Reema Dodin , Wendy Sherman and Colin Kahi will never be able to destroy Israel if that is really their actual insidious scheming goal.
The reason that they will fail in the goal is because striving against the Will of God. The truth is the God had given all land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4.
In other words the Jews have all this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56.
Still, in all fairness, there is one way for Joe Biden and his team to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more.
That way is for Biden and his crew to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
