What colulmnist left out about Biden

Posted November 04, 2023 12:00 am

While I normally cringe when I see a Jeff Robbins op-ed, his offering on Oct 24, (Hail to the Chief ...) was slightly less offensive than usual. He correctly takes to task the left-wing pro-Hamas groups including The Squad, Democratic Socialists, and faculty and students protesting on college campuses. Oddly, he gives credit to Biden just for ignoring these groups; Joe is probably too busy vacationing in Rehoboth to notice.

A key point that Robbins overlooks, while he lavishes praise on Biden for "personal courage" in visiting Israel, is that he is complicit in the Hamas attacks. While desperately seeking to re-engage Iran in the failed JCPOA, Biden lifted sanctions that resulted in a $50B windfall. In addition, he freed up $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets, to be used "for humanitarian purposes'. Right, like invading Israel.

Since Iran is a key supporter of Hamas and other bad actors in the region, giving them more money and freedom only allows them to implement their plan of wiping out the Jewish state.
