Hugh Hewitt: Biden is No “Friend of Israel”

Home

President Biden can continue to refer to himself as a “friend of Israel,” but in recent weeks and indeed months, he has not been that.

He once was a solid friend of Israel. He is no more.

You don't treat allies in an existential war the way America has Israel under Joe Biden.

Yes, we have had incredibly difficult allies in all our modern wars: Every post-invasion government in Iraq, every government in South Vietnam; Charles de Gaulle and Chiang Kai-shek in World War II for example, not to mention Joseph Stalin

The key rule about allies in wartime was enunciated by Winston Churchill, who loathed Stalin, but welcomed the then USSR to the right side when the Nazis invaded Russia: “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”

Presidents do not turn against an ally they care about, especially one fighting for its life.

Even if you can't stand their Prime Minister.

“Friends” don’t slander friends.

The Biden administration is certainly no friend to Israel.
