A year after Oct. 7, US still not doing enough to support Israel


A year has passed since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Since then, the Biden administration has provided roughly $18 billion in military aid to Israel. Against substantial criticism from within his own party, Biden has doubled down on his support for Israel, asserting recently that “No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None. None. None.” On Oct. 1, 2024, President Biden announced new sanctions against Iran in response to recent attacks.

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten argues that the Biden administration still hasn’t done enough to support Israel in its now multifront war, and claims that President Biden is instead pursuing an “Iran-first” policy agenda.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

Israel is winning. Hamas is largely eviscerated in Gaza. Hezbollah may well be on the ropes in Lebanon, its leaders decapitated, its rank and file wounded in the stunning pager attack, its command and control infrastructure corroded, the Iranian mullocracy, its energy infrastructure and nuclear reactors could all be next now for America and the West.

What Oct. 7 revealed is staggering, our ruling elites and their efforts to constrain and squeeze Israel while empowering and emboldening its enemies, has shown an inability or unwillingness to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, moral and immoral. Our ruling elites have shown an inability or unwillingness to decisively win wars or allow our allies and partners to decisively win wars, which might, in part, be why they’re trying to project a failed Western way of failing to win, destroy the enemy and force him to surrender, on Israel.

And our ruling elites have been actively supporting the enemy, wittingly and unwittingly, as we’ve been covering with particularly the Obama-Biden-Harris Iran-first agenda, one shared by many of the European governments, who may not only be ideologically aligned, but are likely cowed by their increasingly Islamic supremacist populations.
