Team Harris-Biden’s approach to the Middle East isn’t just naïve — it’s devoid of any sense of right and wrong: Just look at Wednesday’s fantasy-land push from the White House, along with France, for a cease-fire between Hezbollah terrorists and Israel.
Since the day after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack, Hezbollah has launched nearly 9,000 rockets, missiles and drones into Israel, forcing the evacuation of 60,000-plus people from the north.
A week ago, commanders of Hez’s elite Radwan Force met to advance an Oct. 7-style invasion of Israel that would have made Hamas’ attack look like an interfaith picnic.
Israel is finally fighting back: It wiped out the Radwan commanders in an airstrike and is moving to destroy Hezbollah’s rocket launchers and missile stocks.
Has it no decency? What choice does Israel have?
And President Biden’s statement with French President Emmanuel Macron didn’t even cite Hezbollah by name as a party to the fighting.
“It is time for a settlement on the Israel-Lebanon border that ensures safety and security to enable civilians to return to their homes,” the message reads. “We call for . . . the immediate support of the Governments of Israel and Lebanon.”
Sorry: The Lebanese government has nothing to do with it: It’s Hezbollah that’s the problem — and it’s not going anywhere voluntarily.
Indeed, Israel has warned Hez repeatedly that if it doesn’t quit the rocket fire and retreat north of the Litani River (about 18 miles from the Israeli border), the IDF will act.
The terrorists have ignored those warnings for a year, and now Israel is making good on its threat (a foreign concept for Harris-Biden) so its people can return home.
How clueless — and callous — for Biden and Kamala Harris to expect Israel to suddenly stand down now.
Heck, the idea itself was such a nonstarter for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he didn’t even bother to respond, his office tweeted.
Instead, Bibi vowed to “continue to hit Hezbollah with all our might.”
If Biden-Harris had any true compassion, any desire for real peace and not just a three-week joke of a cease-fire for the benefit of anti-Israel voters, they’d encourage Israel to finish off the terrorists — and maybe even help.
Instead, the Pentagon says the US military won’t provide intelligence or other support for Israeli operations in Lebanon.
It’s beyond pitiful.
But it goes a long way toward explaining why the entire world is aflame.
There is no naivete. This is a deliberate plan. The goal is to leave Israel weak and encircled by Iran's 3 "H" proxy armies in a constant state of low grade warfare until the stress to the economy causes a financial crisis allowing the US to swoop in and emasculate the country and force "The Two State Solution(tm)" on it.
