By pressuring Israel rather than Hamas and their enablers, the Biden-Harris administration has given aid and comfort to the hostages’ murderers.
It is time for these officers to get with the program. They should be reminded that they are instruments of elected politicians, not a secret society.
Rather than side unreservedly with Israel after the brutally barbaric onslaught against it, the Democratic Party and the Biden administration chose to take unprecedented measures against the elected government of a friendly nation.
The generals, the left’s political leaders and the rioters in the streets are all playing the roles the Hamas chief assigned them.
The news of another six murdered hostages, among them American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, makes the U.S. administration’s pressure on Israel for an end to the war all the more appalling.
The start of the semester means a renewed surge of delegitimization of Zionism and open antisemitism. Merely denouncing outrageous examples of hate won’t be enough.
It’s designed to make audiences, aided by the ubiquitousness of social media, despise all Jews.
Sound policy does and should drown out the Bibi-bashing for the sake of the men, women and children in the clutches of an actual monster.
