The question wasn’t whether Biden would betrayal Israel, but when.
This will be far from the only post with the word “betrayal” in the title, but it’s really been a slow-motion betrayal.
It’s a matter of perspective when you date it from, but by November there was already a definite turn.
A little over a month after the original Hamas attack, the Biden administration was pressuring Israel to use less armor, bomb less, and change its government. Then came the warnings to wrap up the war by the end of the year.
Once it was clear that Israel would not cooperate, the slow-motion betrayal sped up a little with diplomatic, economic and military pressure.
What happened in the last few days is not the betrayal, it’s an escalation of the betrayal driven in no small part by the pressure campaign from Hamas supporters in Michigan and the DSA leftist crowd which has gone all in on it.
Biden has moved slowly because he wants to appease leftists while not alienating Jewish donors. And the Left’s pressure campaign has been about making him choose. What appears to be a betrayal is really just a more public ‘choice’ lubricated by Schumer and a variety of DSA front groups pretending to be Jewish attacking Israel.
The Biden administration is borrowing Obama’s old technique of manufacturing a break with Israel to cover up for the betrayal of an ally to Islamic terrorists.
And that takes us to the question of whether there was ever any actual support. I believe that when John Kirby was crying, it was real. Some in the administration were genuinely horrified. But beyond whatever personal emotional reaction there was, Biden, Blinken and the larger foreign policy establishment however had calculated that the best way to restrain Israel was to give it a “bear hug” with conditional public and private support. The conditions from the start crippled Israel’s ability to properly fight the war.
The goal was always to pull Israel back. But that’s always been the purpose of our foreign aid. On the one hand, we want Israel to project America’s strength in the region so we don’t have to. On the other hand, we want it to be a vassal, we can pull back to tone things down. This same Kissinger dollar store Richelieu stuff shows up in every war.
So the betrayal was baked in from the start.
The question wasn’t whether Biden would betrayal Israel, but when.

27-year-old Iraqi refugee who stabbed woman on train in Antwerp Central Station, previously attacked police officer
Source: BELGA
Yesterday at 7:10 PM
A 69-year-old woman was stabbed on a train at Antwerp Central station. The victim was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, but her condition was stabilized there. The police were able to arrest a suspect
The incident took place around 11.20 am on a train that had arrived from Leuven on platform twelve of Antwerp Central station. According to the Gazet van Antwerpen, a man had boarded the train and stabbed the victim with four stabs for no apparent reason.
“The 69-year-old woman was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition,” confirms the federal police and the Antwerp public prosecutor’s office. During the afternoon the news came that the condition of the woman, who is from Schoten, had been stabilized in hospital. “Two other people, witnesses to the stabbing, were also taken to hospital in shock.”
The suspect, a man in his twenties from Iraq, tried to escape. He was stopped at the entrance hall by Securail security officers. He was arrested and taken to the police station for questioning.
The train in question was canceled and the police set up a perimeter on track 12. The forensic laboratory arrived on site for further investigation.
The suspect is Hussein A., a 27-year-old refugee from Iraq. He will be brought before the investigating judge on Friday.
It was not the first incident this week with Hussein A. “On Monday he was arrested for acts of violence, and he was then free to leave after interrogation,” confirms Kato Belmans, spokeswoman for the public prosecutor’s office in Antwerp. “When leaving the cell complex, he became unruly and punched a police officer.” A. was summoned for this through summary proceedings and should soon appear in court. There have also been incidents of violence involving the twenty-somethings outside Antwerp.
According to the Gazet van Antwerpen, the man was briefly arrested again on Wednesday by Securail and the railway police after an earlier incident on a Eurostar. He was then transferred to the Immigration Office (DVZ) because he had no papers in his pocket, but was allowed to do so because he had been recognized as a refugee since 2016.
“He was recognized as a refugee in 2016 and is therefore legally in Belgium,” explains Paulien Blondeel of DVZ. “The reason he was offered to our service by the police is because he has no papers. We then check who he is based on a fingerprint.” If it turns out that such a person has a status and is therefore legally in Belgium, he obviously cannot be locked up in a closed center. When criminal offenses are committed, it is then up to the police and public prosecutor’s office to decide what happens next to such a person.

That terrible folly of Joe Biden is revealed by his total lack of wisdom about the State of Israel when he said that “We still need a two-state solution. It is the only answer.” Biden had by saying that fool statement has shown what an ignorant man he actually is. On that other hand ,maybe he’s just evil.
Joe Biden sure is the divider and chief and not just when comes to him dividing the American people into different political and social “camp.” For even on the international foreign level Biden is that awful divider.
For Biden backs and supports the awful scheme to divide the State of Israel into two. Meaning the so called “two state solution” is not really a valid idea and not a genuine solution. It will definitely not stop this awful Israeli –Muslim land conflict.
Thus a “two state solution” is out of the question. .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
For example those Hamas rocket attacks in to Israel from Gaza reveals that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel. Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. Therefore, those “peace talks” are a hoax.
For the “Palestinian” leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocket attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel. For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]

Old Biden must be forbidden to take part in anything important.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden says that he’s “a Christian” but he denies that Jews prayers at Judaism’s holiest site is appropriate, is Biden so very ignorant and outright stupid that he doesn’t know that Jesus Himself was a Jew ? Maybe Biden does know that but being a godless and wicked man doesn’t’ care.
Likewise Biden keeps on pushing for a for a division of the land State of Israel , which is so false called “the two state” solution.
That fool idea contradicts the Wisdom of Jesus Who taught that “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” Mark 3:24. [N.E.B.]
Walter Sieruk says
Even that leftist US President t Franklin D. Roosevelt with all liberal socialist ideology still had more common sense and understanding than Joe Biden ,with comrades of the Red/Green alliance, for Biden is still striving to obtain that folly of an idea of a “two state solution.” Which in reality is no solution but a recipe for disaster. The reason why this is so is because a “Palestine state” that would be, no doubt, controlled by wicked jihad-minded Muslims with all their Islamic intolerance would only be a set up for a catastrophe in the Middle East.
As President Roosevelt, had so very wisely declared, “No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been—there never can be—successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith.”

Your right but the political’s sure like their oil money.

He joined Obama’s slow walk to supporting Iran and its policies. He’s doing damage and undoing the U.S.’s work in the Middle East over several decades.

Israel should retaliate in the only way Biden understands. Both of Biden’s Democrat predecessors – Clinton & Obama – did what they could to try & defeat Netanyahu (& Bill Clinton succeeded). Netanyahu should drag on this Rafah operation and have it peak in October, w/ the maximized casualties for Hamas, & even some Palis. In that way, the rift within the Democrat party will increase, and it will be impossible for them to unite, even against Trump. That way, Israel can do what Russia was accused of doing, w/o lifting even a finger to ping any American ?

Very interesting post, Infidel.
And it might even work.

From the pit of my stomach to the bottom of the porcelain bowl, words betray me if I try to describe how much this man is destroying my native USA and my adopted country, Israel. His mis-administration is hurdling the world into an apocalypse.

The sob has sympathy for the rape torture murderers of hamas while his henchmen want to throw a 70 year-old grandmother (Rebecca Lavrenz) in jail for a year and hit her with $210,000 in fines for praying in the Capitol for 10 minutes on January 6th. He and they are truly the scum of the Earth.
James Lincoln says
Yes, tgusa.
They are scum.
Bull Herman says
A house divided will fall. A man cannot serve two masters equally. Biden has an inner affinity for rapists, grifters, and criminals because he is one.
Look to Burisma, and to Hunter’s paintings selling to Red Chinese interests at higher amounts than a Picasso at auction, and then see how it’s always more important that he cater to Islamists, illegal aliens, climate change hoaxers, and basically anything that goes against the American way.
He sows division and hatred.
So he has much already in common with Islamists.
