Biden vs. Israel

J E Dyer is pretty good at geopoliticical (and naval warfare) issues.

Here's the quick read on the Israel sitch:

...It’s time to see clearly and acknowledge that most of what “Biden” does and says is designed to keep Israel from pushing Hamas out of Gaza and thereby changing the calculus of Israeli security for the better.  It’s readers’ choice how to interpret that.  One key factor that must not be overlooked is Biden’s [*] affinity for the radical regime in Iran.  Of all the actors in the Middle East, the mullahs of Iran would be the most inconvenienced by an end to Hamas’s rule in Gaza.

But the good news is that those anxious for Israel’s security can stop imagining that Biden’s hostile policy toward Israel is “about” the vote in Michigan.  It’s not that silly and petty.  Biden’s hostile policy, based on its persistent character and the lengths his administration is going to thwart Israel, is about thwarting Israel.  Take that on board and all your reflections and conclusions on the matter will be much more useful....

[*] And of course, her scare quotes are there to tell you it is NOT Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants.

It is Obama.
