Joe Biden’s latest escapade has once again unveiled his staggering ineptitude, as he pointed a finger squarely at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the tragic murders of six hostages by Hamas. The president’s weak comments signal his failure to comprehend the complexities of geopolitics while simultaneously embodying a relentless carpet of appeasement towards those who openly wish harm upon Israel. This dynamic isn’t surprising considering his track record, which has consistently favored adversaries of democracy over steadfast allies.
Returning from a seemingly endless vacation, Biden greeted reporters with the concern of a man who just pulled himself off the beach for a photo op. His laissez-faire attitude toward a critical foreign policy situation was evident when he was asked if Netanyahu was doing enough to deal with Hamas. Rather than exhibiting supportive diplomacy, he trivialized the matter, offering a flippant denial. It raises eyebrows yet again that Biden chooses to prioritize his non-existent attachment to radical elements over the regional stability that a strong Israel represents.
Biden’s allegations that Netanyahu is “not doing enough” amid Hamas’s barbarity reflect a broader narrative of a president who has habitually undermined Israeli leadership at every turn. His administration’s dialogue leans heavily on radical leftist rhetoric, aligning more with the sentiments of those vehemently opposed to Israel than those who understand the necessity of strong defense in the face of terrorism. The irony is nearly unbearable for conservatives watching this unfold—while Biden all but tells Netanyahu to double down on restraint, the hostages’ fates hang in the balance.
The president’s predictions of an impending “final proposal” to release the captives appear to be little more than vacuous optimism, an apparent tactic to pacify a concerned public. After all, one has to wonder how he imagines negotiating with a group that has repeatedly demonstrated a complete disregard for life and decency. His proclamation that “hope springs eternal” indicates a naive grasp of reality, as history has shown that Hamas is unlikely to relinquish its stranglehold on power even as negotiations fail. It’s almost comical that he thinks he can charm the terrorists into civility with empty promises while they continue their campaign against the Israeli state.
As he delivered his hollow condolences to the family of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was brutally killed, it became painfully clear that Biden operates on a platform of dissonance. While he feigns compassion, behind closed doors he seems more focused on pressuring Israel to capitulate than ensuring the eradication of Hamas’s threat. The disconnect between his rhetoric and actions is striking. It raises a critical question: If Hamas remains intact, how many more hostages will suffer the same fate as those tragically lost?
Biden Blames Bibi: Failed President Disgustingly Says Netanyahu 'Not Doing Enough' After Hostages Killedhttps://t.co/oRkTHnjd3F

The time for empty platitudes is over. Biden’s administration must recognize the dangers that arise from constant hovering oversight of Israel’s military decisions in the fight against terror. Instead of vilifying a steadfast ally, it would do well to stand firmly with Israel as it grapples with real and present threats to its very existence. The legacy of this presidency could very well depend on it, albeit it wouldn’t be shocking to see it lost in the fog of his misdirected policies.
