Biden Policy Divides at Home and in Israel

Biden and his fellow Democrats have heaped shame on our once-great nation. TD

"In the Middle East, they seek to reward the orgiastic terror of Hamas by making them the ones who finally achieved Palestinian statehood."

. . ."What few know and fewer yet talk about is that access to the holy places, the hospital, the university, and the Mount of Olives were guaranteed in the agreement. Here is the relevant part of the Jordanian-Israeli General Armistice Agreement of April 3, 1949, which testified to agreement to be carried out to see to “resumption of the normal functioning of the cultural and 

"In fact, the holiest place to Jews remained off-limits to them; their homes in the Jewish Quarter denied; and all access cut to the Western Wall and all the other holy sites behind the armistice line.

"You don’t hear in today’s discussion that formerly, Jews had only the most limited access. The Western Wall was along a small alleyway, and Jews were not allowed to hold any prayer services there. This was true of other places of special holiness, The graves of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of Israel, the Cave of Machpelah, had been off-limits as well, long before there was Zionism. Jews could not enter to pray, only climb an outside stair and look in.

"When Israel declared its independence in 1948 it proposed another way, more consonant with the Bible’s love and wisdom:

[Israel] will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions.

 . . ."Strange how some American leaders let guarantees to Israel lapse when it is inconvenient. What is good faith to a Machiavellian?" . . .

The West’s shameful betrayal of Israel gives Hamas the chance to kill again

" ‘Father, I killed 10 Jews! I killed 10 Jews with my bare hands. Check your WhatsApp. Father, be proud of me!” 

"Have we forgotten? Have we really forgotten so quickly the monstrous events of October 7 last year that we genuinely want an immediate ceasefire in Gaza before Hamas has been utterly destroyed as a military force and potential government there? 

"As we watched the British ambassador to the UN raise her hand at the Security Council meeting this week to vote for a ceasefire, alongside the Chinese and Russians, leaving our ally the US in the cold as the only member abstaining, do we not feel embarrassed, even ashamed? I know I do. 

"How proud I would have felt if we had actually had the guts to veto a resolution that is designed to prevent Israel from genuinely exercising her right to self-defence, which Britain and America were so quick to declare they believed in back in October – however, hypocritically, as it turns out. For Israel’s “right to self-defence” is utterly worthless if its forces are stopped from entering Rafah and annihilating the Hamas leadership there. 

. . ."The Israeli lawyer said he repeatedly started asking her about her sex life and when her period was due while she was held alone in a child’s bedroom and chained by her left ankle. She said he would sometimes sit beside her on the bed, lift her shirt and touch her. 

"Then, on the morning of October 24, Muhammad unchained her from the bed and led her to the bathroom, where she undressed and began washing herself in the bathtub. Before she was finished, he returned and stood in the doorway, holding a pistol.

" 'He came towards me and shoved the gun at my forehead," Soussana said during her Times interview. He then hit her, forcing her to remove her towel, groped her, sat her on the edge of the bathtub and hit her again. 

" 'He sat me on the edge of the bath. And I closed my legs. And I resisted. And he kept punching me and put his gun in my face," Soussana said. "Then he, with the gun pointed at me, forced me to commit a sexual act on him," she recalled." . . .
