Joe Biden’s cowardly fumbling on the Israel-Hamas war will alienate EVERYONE
NY Post
It’s bad enough that President Biden is playing politics with the war in Gaza, but even worse — at least for his purposes — that he is doing it so poorly.
Biden may imagine that he is maneuvering with incredible skill — subtly balancing geopolitics, alliance management and domestic imperatives — when he is really upsetting all sides in the course of further undermining his already-rickety presidency.
This is less Otto von Bismarck than Jimmy Carter minus the Camp David Accords.
A couple of centuries after Machiavelli warned against the allure of a fence-straddling neutrality and counseled instead being “either a true friend or downright enemy,” Joe Biden is sort of, but not completely with Israel and certainly not with Hamas, but not in favor of the terror group getting destroyed with all due dispatch, either.
The way Bill Clinton once put it in the aftermath of 9/11 is that “when people are insecure, they’d rather have somebody who is strong and wrong than someone who’s weak and right.”
Biden is weak and wrong, and it’s not doing himself any favors.
