Biden worked “tirelessly around the clock” to prevent a ceasefire

There is no doubt that President-elect Donald Trump’s stance on Israel is one of the main reasons why a ceasefire in Gaza was finally reached. According to a diplomat briefed on the matter, it was “this is the first time that there is real pressure on the Israeli side to accept an agreement.”

This means that for 15 months, Israel has dropped American bombs on children in tents, on refugees sheltering in schools and on patients seeking help in hospitals.without President Joe Biden is putting “real pressure” on Israel to stop.

And once a simple pressure was put on Israel by an envoy representing a man who isn’t even president yet, and lo and behold, a ceasefire was achieved.

All this senseless deathsall the American credibility lostall Biden voters who stayed at home in protest November 5 could have been avoided.

The truth is that any day over the past year, Biden could have secured a ceasefire using America’s vast leverage.

And every day for a year, based on all the evidence we have today, Biden selected not.

This is the crux of the problem. It is precisely the fact that Biden has chosen this path that will harm America for years to come. It wasn’t that he lacked the ability or strength to stop the carnage. It’s not that he really wanted to stop him but unfortunately he didn’t succeed. It wasn’t that his hands were tied. It’s not that Congress forced it. Or that polls showed that he or Kamala Harris would lose the election if they pressured Israel. It was none of those things.

Biden was simply on point. He agreed with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s war plans. He even attended the war cabinet where the plans were adopted.

In an interview with The Times of Israel, Biden’s outgoing ambassador to Israel even boasted that the Biden administration never pressured Netanyahu to stop the killings. “Nothing we ever said was: Just stop the war.“, proudly declared Ambassador Jack Lew.

By willingly making America complicit, Biden’s decisions will have profound and lasting strategic implications for the American people, matching the damage that George W. Bush’s illegal invasion of Iraq inflicted on the position, the credibility and security of America, as well as the region. stability.

Biden’s own acting director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), Brett Holmgren, told CBS that “anti-American sentiment fueled by the war in Gaza reaches a level not seen since the Iraq warTerrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS are recruiting based on these sentiments and making the most specific appeals to America in years, according to Holmgren.

So every bomb that Biden provided for Israel to drop on the children of Gaza was not only morally monstrous; it also made Americans less safe.

It will take America years to recover from the damage Biden has inflicted on our standing, our moral compass, our credibility, and our security. America is still recovering from the sins of the Iraq invasion.

But there will be no healing, no rebound, unless we admit our mistakes, hold those responsible accountable, and learn to do better. Just as Bush’s invasion of Iraq and the global war on terror gave rise to the strongest anti-war sentiments among Americans in decades, made bad hawkish politics and the epithet “neoconservative » an insult, Biden’s strategy of cuddling and blind deference towards Israel. must forever be remembered as the original sin that led America down the path of complicity in what most likely amounts to genocide.
