U.S. vs Israel?

Biden’s Attitude Toward Israel: Another ‘Dog Bites Man’ Story

Tim Moore

3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. 

(Zechariah 12)

I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
    will be blessed through you.”[a]

(Genesis 12:3)

I was recently contacted by a man who was upset by President Biden’s ambivalence toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Actually, the word “ambivalence” does not capture President Biden’s attitude toward Israel in general and Netanyahu in particular — he and his administration are openly disdainful!

Lest I sound blasé about the unbiblical attitude being manifest by the current American administration, let me make two points.

First, Biden’s antagonism toward Bibi is nothing new. Netanyahu’s own autobiography (Bibi: My Story) describes in great detail the callous and condescending contempt he was shown by Barak Obama and other American Democratic leaders time after time. While he was Vice President, Joe Biden refused to even participate when Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress, along with over 50 other Democrat legislators.

Second, the Biden administration’s attitude toward Israel and its Prime Minister is nothing new. Every liberal American administration (not just Obama, but Carter and Clinton before) was antagonistic toward Israel. Carter became so openly hostile that he wrote a book entitled Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid which was so left-leaning and one-sided that it was little more than a diatribe of propaganda.

I’m reminded of the old newspaper motto:

“Dog bites man” isn’t news because it happens every day. “Man bites dog,” we’ll print.

We cannot dismiss the attitude of our government, but surely we are not surprised. Leftist hatred for Israel is mounting and is only going to grow worse as the indoctrination of young minds with BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) and Antisemitic nonsense ramps up on American college campuses.
