Peace is for suckers.
Even as Israelis were rooting out the barbaric child murderers and rapists of Hamas, President Joe Biden was trying to bully the Jewish state into repaying the Palestinians with a new state. Now, the State Department is reportedly fast-tracking recognition of an “independent” Arab state, which not only promises to envelop Israel in a three-front terror fight but also pull the United States into a needless quagmire.
Then again, for Biden, rewarding terrorists is a matter of policy. If this administration, for instance, had explicitly promised to help Iran enhance its position in the Middle East, what would it have done differently?
Only a few days after the inauguration, Biden brought back special envoy Rob Malley to spearhead negotiations with the Islamic State. Now, there are many problems with Malley, but the biggest one is that he negotiates for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rather than the U.S.
Iran has spent decades kidnapping and murdering Americans. So, a month after Malley’s hiring, the Biden administration took Iranian proxies, the Houthis, off the State Department foreign terror designation list.
Then, as Barack Obama did, Biden released billions to strengthen the deteriorating terror regime and its revolutionary guard. It wasn’t just ransom. Iranians, supposedly under U.S. and EU sanctions, were able to boost oil production to a five-year high last year — which amounts to an extra $10 billion.
All this did was incentivize Iran to further destabilize the region. Iranian proxies have attacked American troops at least 151 times during the Biden years. Last week, three U.S. soldiers were murdered by the regime. Add those lives to the over 600 servicemen murdered by Iran over the past 20 years.
The White House spent the week propping up the president and incessantly discussing how we were going to respond. At the same time, they stressed we “don’t want war” with Iran. Of course, we don’t want war. We also don’t need to sound like a pathetic, middling power. But I don’t care if you’re a neocon, an isolationist or anything in between; there needs to be repercussions for murdering Americans. Tehran should be terrified of what comes next. I doubt they are.
And while Biden was boosting Iran’s fortunes, he was also empowering their allies in Hamas.
Donald Trump bypassed the intractable Palestinians, giving Israel space to make peace with most of the Sunni Arab world. Iran was increasingly isolated and weakened. The first thing the Biden administration did was place Palestinians at the center of Middle East policymaking.
Biden overturned Trump-era policy, releasing hundreds of millions of dollars of funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and the Palestinians. At the time, Antony Blinken claimed it was critical for “Israeli-Palestinian understanding, security coordination and stability.” Really, he might as well have written some checks directly out to Hamas.
United Nations employees in Gaza, whom Washington had long known were actively assisting the terror group, directly participated in killing Jews on Oct. 7 — including, people often seem to forget, 30 U.S. citizens. At least half of the U.N. staff in Gaza is attached to organizations designated terrorists by the United States government.
Indeed, any “independent” Palestinian territory is going to be a terror state. History is remarkably clear on this point. Even the Palestine Liberation Organization, propped up by Western aid and Israeli security in the “West Bank,” hasn’t been able to hold a real election in over a decade because Islamists would inevitably take control.
If Israel can’t stop weapons from infiltrating Gaza now, what does the situation look like when it is dealing with an “independent” state? What does it look like when Iran becomes a nuclear power? What does it look like when the Islamic Jihad — or whatever group pops up to take its place — begins lobbing rockets at civilians? Israel will be compelled to act. Next time, it would be invading a territory recognized as a sovereign state by the U.S.
To allay these fears, the State Department promises it will only move forward “with real security guarantees for Israel.”
We are in no position to offer security assurances to Israel. We can’t even close our own borders. The Biden administration, in fact, already opposes the creation of a security buffer zone within Gaza to prevent more attacks.
Now, there are those, like the president, who maintain that the people of Gaza aren’t responsible for the actions of Hamas, even though most polls find overwhelming support for violent Islamic fundamentalism. Fine. If that’s really the case, there should be no problem asking the Palestinians to take the next five to 10 years to build a civilization that proves it can live peacefully with its neighbors — like hundreds of other ethnic minorities in the world who don’t have the benefit of the world’s attention.
Then again, maybe if they all started blowing up Jews, the West would propose giving them a state, as well.

Someone should catalog all the failed foreign policy decisions Joe has been a part of or initiated all by himself during his disastrous service. It would tell the story of perhaps the most inept US President, Senator and Congressman ever elected.
Attach to it a list all the apologists, excuse makers, “journalists” and policy grunts who have buried his errors and ignored his many, many lies.
it’s a sad story.
The longer the American people allow the Democrat Party to hold any power in the United States, the worse things will get until one day, in the not-too-distant future, one or more of our enemies will land a crippling blow to this country. We’re being hollowed out from inside our own country and yet the vast majority of the public seems completely content to just wait for “someone else” (insert whatever name you wish) to save us from ourselves. Remember, all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing and we seem to have mastered doing nothing.
A two state solution won’t work. You can’t have peace with someone who wants to kill you. Anyone who advocates for a two state solution is a fool.
Biden is a brain-dead idiot and so are all that voted for him.
Please start mentioning not only the recent loss of life, “…three U.S. soldiers were murdered by the regime…”, but the many others who were wounded, some critically. We need to value not only the lives lost, but the lives of those who may suffer for the rest of their lives due to their wounds.
Whatever happened to the US policy of treating material supporters of terrorism the same as terrorists themselves? Right now, Fox is reporting airstrikes in Syria. Okay but what about Yemen missile bases? Iran? Not even “further sanctions”?
I’m trying to figure out how Joey is going to enrich himself and his crime family syndicate with this latest scheme.
As I’ve mentioned, I believe there is some likelihood that President Biden has been enabling his mass, illegal immigration plan, at least in part, to enable access to this country by terrorists and hostile foreign country operators… for the purpose of creating enough mass-chaos to “justify” postponement of this year’s election.
I think that’s why the Democrat insiders haven’t cared too much about President Biden’s horrible optics. They knew they’d fake their way to victory in 2020 by eliminating chain of ballot custody with those paper ballots, and, now, they’re hedging their bets with a manufactured crisis as a reason to cancel Election Day. Just my personal hunch, given the wild behaviors and pre-adolescent untruths I’ve been noticing.
The US attacks were against empty buildings. We do not know if anyone was killed.
Meanwhile, Iran is now taunting Bozo Joe by stating that they knew that Bozo would not have the 1/10th of a testicle required to attack inside Iraq. Again, the US must give the city of Tehran a missle enema.
US has been bending backwards and cow towing to Arafat for decades The money sent to help “palestinian refugees” ended up in Arafat’s personal accounts Every offer of statehood was refused by him because that would be the end if his power All those different groups fighting for the people are fighting for the power people be damned They are not interested in the state
“Biden” is just doing what the radical left does best. Lie and destroy. Any questions?
Proportionality ? OK. The “reports” state that now 26K Gaza residents ( not Palistinians whatever that is) have been killed by Israel after 1200 Israelis were killed by Gaza residents. To me, all of Gaza is Hamas. This could have been avoided if the “men”? of Gaza had themselves eliminated Hamas Maybe they will now wake up. The Israelis will give decent ( are there any ?) Gaza residents plenty of weapons to kill Hamas.
Today, as far as I know, no one was killed by the 85 US “attacks”. Proportionality states that since 3 US heros were killed Sunday that surely 75 non US personnel should have been killed today. I don’t care about the number of attacks. I care about the number of deaths.
Among all the countries that the Bidens have extorted, what do we know about money paid to Joe by the Ayatolla ? Comey needs to look.
There is no doubt that the Biden regime has sold out the U.S. Biden wanted so badly to be president that he sold his soul to the devils as he sold out American citizens and the U.S. as a Constitutional Republic. The Biden administration is in complete control of Socialist billionaires such as Soros and Gates and Chinese Communists, all of whom Biden owes for having him installed as president.
“…maybe if they all started blowing up Jews, the West would propose giving them a state…”
The problem is, there won’t be many Jews left to enjoy their new state after Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah, and all the other Iran-funded terrorist groups are finished with them. Their primary goal is to wipe the Jews off the map–entirely, brutally, and forever.
Leave it to biden to do what is in the interests of ill-intentioned anti-American terrorists. Sorry, but biden is a moron. Anything he does for this country is, in fact, something that sets us back financially and where our safety and sovereignty are concerned. We need to get rid of the whole dang bunch of them in November.
MAGA 2024!
It is all part of the left’s great agenda to destabilize America by putting the military, most likely right leaning, into overseas locations, bringing in characters that can disrupt our society further, with or without the assistance of leftist (paramilitary) ‘protest’ groups, and crumble what is remaining. Godspeed to y’all, and take care. Be prepared and read your Bible.
Joe Biden needs to understand that North America is only friends with Israel, the other countries need to be willing and North America as well to be friends, until then he shouldn’t be helping those that are enemies, the enemies need to turn to god and repent, and then ask the USA for help, and say they want to be friends. Ukraine is a peace loving country and the USA helped them when they needed help. Iran needs to be a peace loving country like Ukraine, and all the our countries need to follow the example of Ukraine. For there to be a peace loving world. Praise God.
Its like you read my mind You appear to know a lot about this like you wrote the book in it or something I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit but instead of that this is fantastic blog An excellent read I will certainly be back
Excellent article. Dictator Beijing biden keeps following obama’s footsteps. Remember how obama SURRENDERED in the Iraq War and told the Terrorist and the world what day we were leaving Iraq and leaving over $65 Billion in U.S. military equipment and weapons there?
Dictator Beijing biden left over $86 Billion in weapons and explosives including the world’s largest runway to Terrorist when he SURRENDERED in Afghanistan and got 13 U.S. Marines and Americans KILLED.
They both supported and financed their Terrorist buddies by giving Iran $Billions to advance their Nuclear Weapons program and Kill Americans all to appease the insane Iran Nuclear Deal by using OUR TAX DOLLARS against US.
Today, Dictator Beijing biden waits a week then gives Strike Plans to FAKE news cbs and they announce to the world how and when the U.S. responds to 3 Americans killed.
That boys and girls is intentional espionage to get Americans killed.
Just like what obama did.
I was recommended this website by my cousin I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble You are amazing Thanks
Joe Biden deserves the a diaper changing.
The bigger question is how JB’s Middle East policy changes is not considered by Congress to be an act of treason for aiding the enemy????
You can have his f minus.
Move to a different country then…TRAITOR.
I take it AMAC is another Zionist front group. Something like CAMERA, the ADL, AIPAC?
A rational person would think that after killing close to 30,000 people, most of which are children and women, that the blood appetite of “Gods Chosen”, would be satiated but alas it is not.
One might suppose the Israelis are warped from having their male children undergo either the blade removal of their foreskin or of the Briss Rabbis that still use the “old methods” i.e., gnawing off said foreskin shortly after the male child is born. Think this is BS? Look into the practice.
Ever wonder why all the images of those “Sewer Rabbis” immediately were taken down from the entirety of mass media? The images of the fecal stained child mattresses being removed from where they were in the tunnels that sect of Rabbis hired illegals to dig? Ever wonder what those aging Rabbis needed all those young child mattresses for? Ever wonder what faith Epstein followed?
Yep, ya gotta love those genocidal Israelis…..nobody cares what religion dominates the portion of “free Israel”, the issue has nothing to do with religeon but everything to do with Zionism which is a mirror image of Nazism no matter what AIPAC allows the media to tell us.
