Harris presidency a boon for Iran, threat for Israel


On July 25, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington, D.C. After the meeting, likely Democratic presidential nominee Harris called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, while former President Donald Trump labeled her meeting with Netanyahu as “terrible and insulting.”

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten argues that the Harris-Netanyahu meeting previewed what her presidency might look like — continuing Biden’s Iran-first policy.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

Gaza is a binary issue. Israel should win and Hamas should lose. The former is America’s frontline for civilization in a region marked by genocidal jihadism and Islamic supremacism, who collectively seek world domination including the destruction of Israel, the Jewish state, and America, the West preeminent Judeo-Christian nation.

The latter backed by the world’s leading state sponsor of jihad, is a genocidal jihadist group. Supporting Israel’s destruction of Hamas is undeniably in America’s national interest. It is strategically sound and it is right. Harris, in presenting the issue otherwise, shows herself to be totally lacking in strategic vision and moral clarity. She doesn’t know what America’s national interest is.

And while morality is not the basis on which nations make policy, in this case, moral bankruptcy, or perverse moral equivalency, undermines our interest by aiding our shared enemies’ cause.

In the final analysis, the Trump administration imposed a maximum pressure campaign on Iran and it brought peace. The Biden-Harris administration is imposing a maximum pressure campaign on Israel and it is bringing war. Harris promises to intensify that campaign. If she is elected president.
