Biden’s Trip to the Middle East Should Worry Us All
President Biden’s planned trip to Israel, the Palestinian controlled areas and Saudi Arabia are fraught with fears that our fumbling leader will do his usual thing to mess up the situation in that already volatile region. His meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will be a real doozy after Biden accused him of being the principal culprit behind the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Arab memories are notoriously long and at this time Biden will be bowing and scraping the ground before the prince, begging him to have his nation come to our assistance with the black gold that the Saudis have in abundance. In addition, Biden’s desire to rebirth the Obama deal with Iran, giving that terrorist nation nuclear military capability, is not easy for the Saudis to accept, since they are one of many in that region in Iran’s cross-hairs. Reasons for concern.
But it is Biden’s overt, open, long term love affair with the Palestinians that is sure to bloom once he meets their leader, Mahmoud Abbas, in Ramallah, that really concerns us. That spells danger for Israel. As soon as Biden stepped foot in the White House in January 2021, he fulfilled his campaign promise to restore all the aid to the Palestinians that his predecessor, Trump cut off. He has already given them more than $360 million in U.S. taxpayer money since taking office once again re-funding UNRWA, the UN’s Israel hating agency to the tune of nearly $400 million to be used in teaching Palestinian kids how to hate Jews. His trip spells trouble for Israel. Keep in mind that last year, while in Ramallah, Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, no friend of Israel, announced plans for the U.S. to reopen the Consulate to Palestine, in Jerusalem. It served Palestinians before the Trump administration shut it in 2018 and folded its work into the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem as part of our recognition of the city as Israel’s undivided capital. We fear, Biden will make that announcement during his trip in July.
A befuddled Biden may also be scripted by his handlers to revive the “Two State Solution” remedy that would place a Palestinian run state on Israel’s borders. Former Prime Minister Netanyahu would never accept such a proposition, however, Israel’s current weakling PM, Naftali Bennett, who is currently struggling to maintain his weak coalition, might be persuaded to acquiesce in order to get the support of the United States to remain in office. In addition, Biden is sure to pressure Israel to rein in its building in the settlements to appease his Palestinian buddies who smell an opportunity to reap the benefits of a Biden regime loaded with Israel haters within its ranks.
We’ll take this opportunity to chime in about the trip and the Biden crew’s overt hostility towards Israel. Progress and peace in the region will come once the so-called “palestinians” explicitly accept that Israel is here to stay as a unified Jewish state and that all of Jerusalem is its capital city. We suggest that the world and specifically the United States pats Israel on the back for continuing its medical and scientific innovations and discoveries and sharing them with even its committed enemies. In addition we expect some acknowledgment of the Jewish state’s continued practice of democracy and freedom throughout its nation by President Biden during his trip. We’re saying a silent prayer that this visit to the region does not end up as another Biden disaster but that its outcome may be peace in the region for many years to come. Is this too much to ask for??
