Don’t overlook Biden’s empowering of antisemites

It is undeniably true that President Joe Biden emboldened terrorists to attack Israel with his support for funding for Gaza and Iran, but it is also the case that Biden has emboldened and legitimized antisemites who support those terrorists and their actions.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has encouraged people to “express support for an immediate ceasefire,” meaning that they think Israel should not respond after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, the vast majority of whom were civilians. That massacre included the rapes of Israeli women, the murder of 250 people at a concert, and babies who were murdered, burned, and beheaded.

But CAIR did not simply stop there. The group placed the blame for the attack squarely on Israel and “Israel’s unlawful occupation of Palestinian lands, apartheid state policies, and the ongoing violations of Palestinian human rights.” Peace is possible, CAIR says, only if Israel’s “human rights violations against Palestinian civilians” stop. The group makes no mention of the terrorist organization that perpetrated the massacre of Israelis and whose express goal is to destroy Israel and kill Jews.

Flashback to just under five months ago, and you will see that this organization that is blaming Israel for Hamas terrorists slaughtering Israelis was named as part of Biden’s “First-Ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.” CAIR, the Biden White House said, “will launch a tour to educate religious communities about steps they can take to protect their houses of worship from hate incidents, such as instituting appropriate security measures, developing strong relationships with other faith communities, and maintaining open lines of communication with local law enforcement.” (Emphasis added.)

Yes, the group justifying the slaughter of Jews at the hands of antisemitic terrorists is the same group Biden tasked with educating religious communities about protecting against hate incidents and “developing strong relationships with other faith communities.” Who knew that CAIR would do such a thing by taking the side of terrorists who are mad that Jews exist in their general vicinity? After all, CAIR only has an anti-Israel and antisemitic record going back years.

This is yet another embarrassing Biden blunder that was obvious at the time. It is a reminder that Biden is not one to let a little antisemitism get in the way of his agenda, as his Middle East record has shown. And it is yet more proof that he is, at best, wildly incompetent and unfit to be president.
