OPINION:
President Biden, extending to Iran the magic carpet his mentor Barack Obama first unfurled, has continued to suspend oil sanctions the Trump administration imposed, thus enriching the mullahs in Tehran by tens of billions of dollars (“Biden is cowering to Iran instead of siding with Israel,” web, April 6). That is common sense gone awry, as it is when there is an election to win and anti-Israel voters to appease.
Mr. Biden knows that he has Israel over the proverbial barrel, for without guided munitions that limit loss of life (weapons that the U.S. sells to Israel) and without instruments for Israeli defense against enemy rockets and missiles, Israel would be hard-pressed to emerge victorious against its and our enemies.
Mr. Biden is honing Occam’s razor to a fine edge, castigating Israel as the simplest way to get Muslim American votes. It’s dirty business, but hey, there’s an election to win.
