Israel war: The biggest winners of Biden’s presidency have been terrorists

President Joe Biden was praised leading up to the election by liberal media for his unearned reputation as a wise leader on the global stage. In reality, his term has been a boon to terrorists across the Middle East.
The Hamas surprise attack on Israel has led to the slaughter of more than 700 people, most of whom were Israelis but some of whom were also Germans, Thais, and Americans. Women were raped, children and the elderly were slaughtered alongside adults, and many were taken hostage by Palestinian terrorists and will be lucky to ever return home alive.
ISRAEL’S ANNIHILATION OF HAMAS IS THE PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE
Biden is not directly to blame for this attack, but he did indirectly but knowingly fund Palestinian terrorism. In 2021, State Department officials warned that unfreezing $360 million in U.S. funds for the Palestinians would come with “a high risk Hamas could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit.” Those funds were frozen by former President Donald Trump, but Biden’s State Department concluded that it was worth the risk to indirectly help Hamas terrorists because “it is in our national security interest.”
You can also point to the fact that the U.S. unfroze $6 billion in funds for Iran in a ransom payment that the administration maintained was not a ransom payment, knowing full well that Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world and a noted ally of Hamas. Freeing up $6 billion in “humanitarian” funds for Iran allows the country to reallocate other money for things such as Hamas attacks. Secretary of State Antony Blinken even admitted that the administration knew Iran has “always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism.”
But surely Biden and Blinken have found their moral fortitude in the face of an antisemitic massacre perpetrated by terrorists against an American ally with American deaths involved? Just kidding: Biden was busy with a barbecue this weekend and has taken Monday off, while Blinken posted and deleted calling for a “ceasefire,” effectively telling Israel to take the massacre of more than 700 and the injuring of thousands more on the chin and not do anything about it.

Combine this with Biden’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, which left the country, the Americans stranded there, and $7 billion in American military equipment to the whims of the Taliban, and you have a pattern. The weakness of the Biden administration has been a boon to terrorists across the Middle East, and that weakness has resulted in American casualties and hostages in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Along with emboldening Russia to invade Ukraine (thanks to the pathetic, botched Afghanistan withdrawal), Biden’s foreign policy has been a disaster. Terrorists are in a better position now than they were three years ago. If Biden and Blinken’s reaction to these attacks are any indication, that isn’t going to change in the coming year either.
