Biden and/or Biden’s handlers have come up with a new way to madden:
“The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels, according to four people familiar with the U.S. offers,” reports the Washington Post.
With “friends” like the Biden administration, the State Department, and our intelligence agencies, who needs enemies?
Let’s see what the possibilities are here. My leading one is that the so-called intelligence is pretty much worthless, and that this is just an attempt at teasing Israel into sparing Hamas while getting little in return.
But another possibility is that the administration has actionable intelligence it’s been holding back on in order to coerce Israel/Netanyahu into letting Hamas live to fight another day. And that, in turn, is motivated by the same goal as the previous possibility: to further the left’s delusional and/or malevolent notion that Iran should be empowered to dominate the region. That latter aim has been in evidence since Obama took office, and although it was temporarily reversed by the Trump administration it roared back as soon as Biden was inaugurated.
A further goal is to force Netanyahu out of power, an aim which also originated with Obama. The funny thing – and I don’t mean “funny ha-ha” – is that Biden was chosen by Obama to supposedly be the foreign policy expert, the cool and experienced hand, in the Obama administration. Biden’s previous foreign policy experience was, however, at being wrong. And then he picked up more experience at furthering Obama’s Iran-enabling goals.
Whether the Biden family also gets some money on the side out of this approach is possible, although unknown.
Hopefully, if will all backfire on the Biden administration politically and militarily as well, and Israel will not yield to this sort of pressure.
NOTE: I’m having trouble finding it right now, but I also read a report that the Biden administration is helping to organize and fund the anti-Netanyahu contingent in Israel. If true, it wouldn’t be the first time; the Obama administration used taxpayer money to interfere against Netanyahu in Israeli elections.
