The Biden administration is feeding Israel to the wolves. That is the only reasonable way to understand Channel 14’s bombshell report on Sunday that the FBI has opened an investigation of IDF soldiers in relation to the death of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh.
Abu Akleh died on May 11 in Jenin while she was embedded with Iranian-controlled Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists engaged in a gun battle with IDF soldiers. The battle took place in the midst of an onslaught of murderous terror attacks carried out by Jenin-based terrorists affiliated with the Iranian-proxy. On May 5, two PIJ terrorists from Jenin hacked three Israelis to death with axes and wounded three more in the haredi city of Elad, just as Israel’s Independence Day celebrations were ending. The soldiers that entered Jenin on May 11 were part of a counter-terror force tasked with breaking up the PIJ infrastructure in the city.
Immediately after Abu Akleh was killed, the Biden administration began demanding that the IDF investigate her death and accept the blame for it. In the ensuing months, every time senior Israeli officials came to Washington to discuss their concerns over the Biden administration’s peripatetic efforts to empower and enrich Iran while legitimizing its nuclear weapons program in the ill-conceived “nuclear talks,” they found they had no one to talk to. Everyone from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan to Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman rebuffed them. All the administration officials wanted to discuss was Abu Akleh’s death, and how Israel was criminally culpable for it.
From the outset, the administration’s position was unhinged. The IDF’s operation was legitimate and necessary. Any reasonable observer—particularly one from an allied government—could have been expected to recognize this fact. Moreover, the Palestinian Authority refused to cooperate with the investigation into Abu Akleh’s death. Siding with the terrorists, the P.A. refused to permit Israeli medical examiners to examine her body or IDF investigators to look at the bullet that killed her. The P.A. and PIJ jointly scrubbed the battle scene and so blocked any investigation from reaching conclusive findings.
But again, no investigation was necessary. Everyone knew the IDF didn’t target Abu Akleh.
On Monday, outgoing Defense Minister Benny Gantz rightly rejected the administration’s decision and announced that Israel will not permit FBI investigators to interview Israel’s soldiers. The incoming government can be expected to follow the same policy.
Since outside the radical left, no Israeli politicians would support the criminalization of our soldiers, what is the Biden administration up to?
The answer is self-evident. President Biden and his advisers are demonizing America’s most powerful and loyal ally in the Middle East because they don’t see Israel as a foreign policy issue. They see it as a domestic political one. The progressive base of the Democratic Party backs Palestinian terrorists, supports their terror campaigns against Israel and rejects Israel’s right to exist and the right of the Jewish people to self-determination. And the Biden administration is captivated by its base. There is no other possible explanation for the FBI’s investigation.
Very awesome Article, and so concerning indeed! As for the state of current affairs here in the USA and abroad, it's my opinion, no one has any reason to doubt your assessment!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, in my opinion it sounds like said journalist was embedded with the wrong folks at the wrong time, and Biden's Henchmen are looking in the wrong direction siding with the wrong side! Must be their "New Norm", right?
American Citizen's have been shocked into the fear propaganda pushed by those within USA's Government, IMO! Over the recent years due to Gov. Anti-American stances both in USA & Globally, a huge mess has been snowballing in an adverse manner NOT representation of what America is, or use to be, all about, IMO!
We pray the bad apples will be sorted out, our Nation, her Allies, will stand together strong once again! May the evil that begets evil be contained! Proven and currently as witnessed by all, strategy by USA recently has been non-productive, for nefarious Agenda's, and stemming from very greedy/traitor's reprobate minds, IMO! Many don't recognize America anymore, IMO!
Orwellian Communist Third World country is what it's trying to become like living here now, IMO! American's are very patient like panther's; we still keep the faith, love, hope, for overcoming all the stupidity/aggravation here right now! Prayers for Israel to continue their stance for righteousness, God loving people stand with Israel always!!! (:
