Last week when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to speak before a joint session of Congress, the Senate’s presiding officer snubbed him for a sorority meetup. Vice President Kamala Harris engaged in a de facto boycott of Netanyahu was addressed, alongside dozens of her Democratic colleagues, opting instead for a meeting with Israel’s leader the following day. One that reportedly left Israel’s delegation dismayed, they were left further appalled with the way she spun that meeting. In a press conference she held without Bibi there to respond. In so doing, Harris gave a preview of what her presidency would have looked like. It will build on if not expand the Iran first policy, initially instituted by Barack Obama, marked by overt hostility towards the Jewish state and demands that it capitulate to its foes benefiting those foes.

Then came the pivot, quote, Israel has a right to defend itself and how it does so matters, implying it might not be comporting itself in a way she could tolerate. Harris emphasized that she quote expressed with the Prime Minister my serious concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians, a dishonest talking point serving a Mostess cause when the civilian death rate has been shown to be historically low, contrary to the fraudulent Hamas figures the administration has repeatedly have relied upon when Israel has been at pains to win the war, under suffocating rules of engagement imposed on it by Biden Harris that have put its own soldiers in harm’s way to die to protect civilians during a longer and bloodier conflict than would have been necessary had Israel been allowed to operate freely when the Biden administration strictly prevented civilians from resettling elsewhere during the war. And when it is Hamas responsible for those deaths a Hamas whose acts were often supported by an executed in collusion with a population, nearly half of which wants the jihadist group to return to power to lead Gaza after the war is over. Funded by an Iran to the Biden Harris administration has aided, abetted and enabled there was nary a word of course for the suffering of 10s of 1000s of Israelis render refugees in their own land have been forced to evacuate their homes in the North for months on end, due to the Biden administration’s efforts to prevent Israel from neutralizing Iran backed Hezbollah’s threat.
Harris also lectured about supposedly catastrophic levels of food insecurity, belied by the estimated 3000 calories per day per person and Ed, that Israel is permitted to flow into Gaza aid, much of which has been seized by Hamas, meaning Israel is essentially feeding the jihadist it’s fighting. There’s no famine in Gaza despite the blood libel, the Biden administration that seemed intent on insinuating if not leveraging to push its desire policies on Israel. Harris put the suffering of Palestinians on Israel again, rather than the Hamas Jihad ease who started the war and use the noncombatant population as human shields. And Harris indicated that she told Bibi, quote, it is time to get this deal done, thereby putting the onus on Israel rather than to those who attacked it, to agree to disastrous terms that a mosque itself has repeatedly rejected. The deal, of course, would mean forcing Israel to let Hamas survive and a ceasefire that would end the war without victory to trade hostages for Jihad ease to reward a mosque with a Palestinian state, and guarantee a future of perpetual October sevens for Israel. Never have we heard Biden Harris bring such pressure to bear on Hamas and all that sponsors, starting with Iran and Qatar to return all hostages and surrender or else. Hamas couldn’t ask for anything more. It will believe it can hold out forever and pocket gains. Harris validated its tactics. She summed up her perverse view when stating that, quote, The war in Gaza is not a binary issue. Gaza is a binary issue. Israel should win and Hamas should lose the former’s America’s frontline for civilization in a region marked by genocide of jihadism, and Islamic supremacism, who collectively seek world domination including the destruction of Israel, the Jewish state, and America, the West preeminent Judeo Christian nation. The latter backed by the world’s leading state sponsor of jihad, is a genocidal jihadist group. Supporting Israel’s destruction of Hamas is undeniably in America’s national interest. It is strategically sound and it is right. Harris and presenting the issue otherwise, shows herself to be totally lacking in strategic vision and moral clarity. She doesn’t know what America’s national interest is. And while morality is not the basis on which nations make policy, in this case, moral bankruptcy, or perverse moral equivalency, undermines our interest by aiding our shared enemies cause. In the final analysis, the Trump administration imposed a maximum pressure campaign on Iran and it brought peace. The Biden Harris administration is imposing a maximum pressure campaign on Israel and it is bringing war. Harris promises to intensify that campaign. If she is elected president. This is all you need.

Gaza is a binary issue. Israel should win and Hamas should lose. The former is America’s frontline for civilization in a region marked by genocidal jihadism and Islamic supremacism, who collectively seek world domination including the destruction of Israel, the Jewish state, and America, the West preeminent Judeo-Christian nation.
The latter backed by the world’s leading state sponsor of jihad, is a genocidal jihadist group. Supporting Israel’s destruction of Hamas is undeniably in America’s national interest. It is strategically sound and it is right. Harris, in presenting the issue otherwise, shows herself to be totally lacking in strategic vision and moral clarity. She doesn’t know what America’s national interest is.
And while morality is not the basis on which nations make policy, in this case, moral bankruptcy, or perverse moral equivalency, undermines our interest by aiding our shared enemies’ cause.
In the final analysis, the Trump administration imposed a maximum pressure campaign on Iran and it brought peace. The Biden-Harris administration is imposing a maximum pressure campaign on Israel and it is bringing war. Harris promises to intensify that campaign. If she is elected president.
