Biden urges Ukraine to fight, while demanding Israel’s surrender
Joe Biden’s Controversial Stance on Israeli Aid
Joe Biden has not only promised to veto any standalone Israeli aid, but he’s reportedly circulating a draft resolution within the United Nations Security Council that would compel the Jewish state to stop its ground offensive in Rafah and, effectively, give Hamas a pass. Beyond that, the U.S. is also reportedly thinking about circumventing Israel and formally recognizing a Palestinian state.
Unequal Treatment: Ukraine vs Israel
- In other words, while Ukraine is prodded by the United States to fight for every inch of its land, Israel is prodded to commit suicide.
Indeed, anyone who dares to suggest the United States push Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Russia is framed as a democracy-hating Putin shill. Yet, before we even knew exactly how many Israeli women and children had been murdered, raped, and kidnapped by Hamas, Democrats were demanding Israel negotiate with Palestinians to create a potential three-front Iranian-proxy terror state on its border.
Those who wonder what the endgame of a U.S. proxy war against a nuclear power in Europe might look like are told that the only acceptable outcome is complete victory for Ukraine. The very future of world democracy, we are assured, hinges on the integrity of that nation’s borders.
Israel, though, is asked to surrender its territorial claims and reward those who supported, coordinated, and participated in a massacre of its civilians — which included 30-plus dead American citizens — with a brand new nation. It is only through this concession that peace can be realized, contends the Western foreign policy elite. Which is weird, considering Trump circumvented the Palestinian problem and forged a historic peace agreement. Biden immediately reverted to Obama-era Iran-coddling — and, well, here we are.
Put it this way: Imagine, if you can, the Biden administration arguing, only weeks after Putin’s invasion, that the only way to “achieve an enduring end to the crisis” and “lasting peace and security” for Ukrainians was to create a new Russian ethnic state in Donbas.
Really, doesn’t an ethnic Russian Donbastan deserve the same self-determination as an Arab Palestinian? So what if Donbastans are to Russians what Palestinians are to Saudis or Syrians or Jordanians — ethnically indistinguishable? Democrats, of course, would never think to pressure Volodymyr Zelensky into a ceasefire, much less push him to negotiate the creation of a new adversarial territory on his borders in the name of “peace.”
We are also told that if Putin is handed even a partial victory, the next thing you know Russians will be marching on Berlin. American troops, we are warned, will be compelled to defend Europe. At the same time, Israel, which has never asked a single American soldier to fight for it, is (yet again) expected to hand its enemies a reprieve.
Allowing Hamas to survive will do nothing to further the prospects of peace for anyone in the region. If Israel stops now, the war against Hamas will have been for naught, since a large contingent of the terror army has retreated into Rafah to hide among civilians, as is their wont. Since the United Nations, Gulf theocrats, Iran, and Western powers insist on sending hundreds of millions in aid that is siphoned off by the Islamists, Hamas will reemerge in Gaza — and almost surely in the “West Bank,” should there ever be a Palestinian state.
It also needs to be stressed, however, that what Biden demands isn’t really a “ceasefire.” It is Israel unilaterally yielding its advantage, since Hamas hasn’t agreed to any cessation of the conflict — and even if it did, its assurances wouldn’t be worth anything. Lest anyone forget, there was a ceasefire in place on Oct 7, 2023. No, the lesson, once again, is that terror works.
While both Israel and Ukraine have a right to fight for their sovereignty and people, obviously the two conflicts are unique in numerous ways. Not all comparisons work. Jews, for instance, have far stronger historic ties to Samaria and Judea than Ukrainians have to Donetsk or Crimea — even though only one has been asked to surrender land for peace.
Indeed, the only one of these two democracies that bestows full rights to its ethnic minorities is portrayed as the apartheid state. Israel has offered Palestinians massive concessions on numerous occasions, including their own state. So even though my hope is that Putin is severely weakened by his war of aggression against Ukraine, Israel’s war against Islamism and terror is far more important in the long-term battle for “democracy.”
But the ugly truth is that Biden’s reelection prospects are threatened by the emerging progressive left and pro-Hamas faction of the Democrat Party. And there is no one, no issue, the president won’t sell out for votes. This is why the administration sends emissaries to pacify the people who cheered the Oct. 7 attack. This is why the White House leaks snippets of Biden insulting Israel’s (elected) leader in a way he would never think to attack Zelensky or Abbas or even the Iranian mullahs.
While backing Ukraine allows Democrats to virtue signal about their love of “democracy,” turning on Israel allows them to appease the growing anti-Western sentiment of their base. It’s only going to get worse in the coming years.
Why is Israel being pushed towards concessions and potential harm to its security, while Ukraine is supported in its fight for sovereignty
Le, it is clear that there is a stark difference in the way the United States treats these two nations. Joe Biden’s controversial stance on Israeli aid highlights this inequality.
Firstly, Biden has vowed to veto any standalone Israeli aid and has been circulating a draft resolution within the United Nations Security Council that would force Israel to halt its ground offensive in Rafah, giving Hamas an advantage. This raises concerns about Biden’s support for Israel in the face of aggression from terrorist groups.
Furthermore, there are reports that the U.S. is considering recognizing a Palestinian state, effectively circumventing Israel. This move disregards Israel’s territorial claims and rewards those who have supported and participated in attacks against Israeli civilians. It is puzzling that the Biden administration would push for the creation of a potential three-front Iranian-proxy terror state on Israel’s border, especially considering the progress made under the Trump administration in forging peace agreements.
In contrast, when it comes to Ukraine, the United States insists on fighting for every inch of its land against Russia. Any suggestion of negotiations with Russia is met with accusations of being a democracy-hating Putin sympathizer. The future of world democracy supposedly hinges on Ukraine’s borders. This unequal treatment begs the question of why Ukraine is prodded to fight while Israel is pushed towards concessions.
If the Biden administration were to argue, shortly after Putin’s invasion, that the only way to achieve peace for Ukraine is to create a new Russian ethnic state in Donbas, it would be met with strong opposition. Yet, the same logic seems to apply differently to Israel. The inconsistency in the approach raises doubts about the fairness and effectiveness of Biden’s foreign policy decisions.
The argument of self-determination also comes into play when comparing the treatment of ethnic Russians in Donbas and Arab Palestinians. While the former is never pressured into a ceasefire or negotiating the creation of an adversarial territory, the latter is repeatedly asked to make concessions for the sake of peace.
Moreover, the potential consequences of allowing Hamas to survive cannot be ignored. If Israel were to halt its offensive now, all the efforts made against Hamas would be in vain. The terror organization would resurface in Gaza and potentially in the “West Bank” if a Palestinian state were to be established. This would pose a threat to the region’s peace and security.
It is crucial to note that what Biden demands from Israel is not a true ceasefire. Instead, it is Israel unilaterally yielding its advantage, while Hamas has not agreed to any cessation of the conflict. This approach only reinforces the notion that terrorism works, as Hamas can continue its attacks without facing any real consequences.
In conclusion, Joe Biden’s controversial stance on Israeli aid highlights the unequal treatment of Israel compared to Ukraine. While Ukraine is supported in its fight for sovereignty, Israel is pushed towards concessions and potential harm to its security. The inconsistencies in the approach raise concerns about the fairness and effectiveness of Biden’s foreign policy decisions.
