OPINION:
All those worried about the future of the Jewish state should be concerned about the possible election of Joe Biden. Both Mr. Biden’s present and past actions have been harmful toward Israel. First, his call for a U.S.-Arab consulate in Jerusalem brings into question the reunification of that capital of Israel, reversing the decision by President Trump. Mr. Trump has supported the move of the U.S. embassy and has declared Jerusalem the undivided capital of Israel.
Second, Mr. Biden was an integral part of the Obama administration, which lessened U.S. support for Israel. As a parting message before the end of his term Obama refused to veto the U.N. bill calling for an end to any settlement building and condemning any Israeli actions outside of the temporary pre-1967 borders of the Jewish state. This action enhanced the current abandonment of our pro-Israel policy by the Democratic Party. President Trump has many drawbacks but when it comes to Israel, none are of any concern.
