THE VIEW FROM HERE - While this article focuses on the misery and suffering which Hamas Joe Biden has visited upon the Palestinians in Gaza, one must recognize that he has followed a similar duplicitous approach with Ukraine. The Woke Obama Doctrine of Appeasement, Appeasement, Appeasement was the actual and proximate cause of both Hamas’ October 7th pogrom on Israel and the Putin’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The Obama Doctrine of Appeasement, Appeasement, Appeasement
At its heart, The Obama Doctrine is US Wokeism based on the belief that America is inherently sinful and its foreign policy needs to be one of eternal appeasement. The Obama Doctrine’s domestic counterpart is Wokeism’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Ideology which divides the world in two camps: The Oppressors (unrepented Whites and Jews) and the Oppressed (minorities). One Woke DEI principle is that all America’s troubles are due 100% to white racism. Thus, it is the moral duty for White and Jewish America to make various forms of reparations to Blacks. Not all Blacks have fallen for this viciously self-defeating trope.
Wokeism Is Inherently and Irreversibly Polarizing
The Obama Doctrine also uses the domestic Woke Doctrine of Intersectionality, which holds and any Oppressed group must blindly support any other Oppressed group without regard for the Oppressees’ behavior. Thus, Jews are responsible for the Hamas’ massacre of Israelis and their friends on Oct 7th. As a result, under the Obama Doctrine, Hamas has to survive the war and be rewarded by being the recognized government of a new Palestinian state comprising both Gaza and the West Bank. Biden chose Ismail Hanniyeh to unite the two territories until Israel put the kabash (Heb kavash) on that when Ismail’s bed in Teheran mysteriously exploded.
Hamas Joe Biden’s Anti-Jewish Blood Libels
Since Oct 8th, Biden’s has been two faced. One needs to understand Biden-Speak to grasp the Administration’s Woke policy. Israel’s “right to defend itself” means that Israel may only rebuff attacks from Hamas, but it may not take any offensive actions, such as entering Gaza to eliminate missile sites or to destroy Hamas military installations. Mohammad Ali’s motto was not, “Float like a butterfly, but never sting like a bee.”
For the US, “Cease-fire” means “force Israel to lose the war.” As most vile predators are wont to do, Hamas Joe Biden falsely blames the victim Israel in general and Netanyahu in particular for the failure to reach a Cease-fire agreement with Hamas. Biden ignores the fact that Israel has accepted the Cease-fire proposals and Hamas has rejected them. When Hamas refuses to attend negotiations, Biden negotiates on its behalf.
Another Biden Propaganda Ploy Blames Israel for Hamas’ War Crimes
When Hamas shoots six hostages in the head, it is Netanyahu’s fault. As one commentator remarked, “Biden acts as if Netanyahu had the hostages in his basement.” While the Administration occasionally mentions that hostage taking and human shields are war crimes, the Obama Doctrine always blames Israel when Hamas war crimes result in civilian deaths.
Biden constantly claims that Israel does not show enough concern for civilians, even when Islamic rockets fall short killing Gazans as occurred when an Islamic rocket exploded in a Gazan hospital’s parking lot. After even the UN finally admits that it had been counting Hamas militants as dead civilians so that the actual militant to civilian ratio was about 1:1, the lowest in any modern war, Hamas Joe Biden does not stop his propaganda of counting all dead as civilians. Similarly, Biden and Woke US media insist on calling Hamas military installations “schools,” “hospitals” and “mosques” despite the fact the world knows that the targeted sites are Hamas military facilities. The Obama Doctrine has led Biden to become a party to Hamas’ war crimes by his Blood Libels blaming Israel for Hamas’s war crimes.
Biden’s Worst Transgressions
The Obama Doctrine resulted in Joe Biden’s not only assisting Hamas in its worldwide defamation of Israel as the aggressor, but also Joe Biden’s allowing Iran to have access to billions of dollars so that it could supply armaments to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Until Biden released billions of frozen assets, Iran was too poor to fund its proxies as it had during the Obama Administration. On top of releasing those billions, Biden allowed Iran to sell its oil on the open market guaranteeing its ability to build up its war machine to exterminate Jews.
NOTE: These financial machinations are far too complicated to detail in full. The frozen funds were held in Qatar and Oman to be used only for humanitarian purposes. Billions came from Iraq’s buying Iranian oil. (1) If the funds buy food, however, Iran need not spend $6 B on food so that $6 B can arm Hamas. (2) Funds in Qatar can be held as collateral for undisclosed Qatar loans to Iran. In addition, surveillance of Gaza showed that billions of dollars from UN, UNRWA, and Europe were not being used for infrastructure. The US also knew that the UN schools were teaching Gazan children to hate Jews to prepare the civilians for a war against Israel – same with West Bank schools.
These actions signaled to Iran that the Biden Administration was not opposed to Iran’s build up in its war to exterminate of the Jews from the River to the Sea. Going back to 1990's and Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, after Saddam’s capture years later, he complained, “If you did not want me to invade Kuwait, why didn’t you tell me?” The Ayatollahs can lament, “If you did not want us to exterminate the Jews, why were you financing our war effort?”
Kamala Harris Supports Biden’s Lie about 2000 lb Bombs
During her September 17, 2024 interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), Kamala Harris said that she supported Biden’s refusal to send 2,000 lbs to Israel. Her non-sequitur reasoning was "Palestinians deserve dignity and a right to self-determination." See Newsweek Is Harris cagey or muddlebrained?
Back in May 2024, Biden said he withheld the 2000 lbs bombs to protect civilians -- another big lie! At that phase of the war, the IDF had to rely on bombs to degrade Hamas’ tunnels and this was complicated by two factors: (1) Tunnel entrances were often in civilian apartments, mostly in children’s bedrooms, (2) Some tunnels are deep underground so that normal bombs do not penetrate far enough to destroy tunnels without repeated IDF attempts.
The IDF strategy was to move the Gazan civilians, whom Hamas used as human shields, away from the targeted apartments. Thousands of fliers were dropped, text messages sent, and phone calls made to warn the Gazans exactly where and when the next bombing would occur. If any civilians were left at the bomb site, it was because they refused to leave, or Hamas prevented them from leaving. With civilians moved several blocks away, 2000lb bombs then had a good chance of destroying the tunnels with entrances in the apartment houses, making Hamas’ access to its deep tunnels harder. When the US withheld 2000 lb bombs, however, the IDF had to use smaller bombs so that the destruction was confined to the surface. Each time the IDF had to re-target a site, the risk to Gazan civilians increased. The reason Biden withheld the 2000 lb bombs could only have been to protect Hamas in order to slow down the IDF war effort and to increase civilian casualties. Hamas entire war strategy rests on maiming and murdering enough Gazans so that the world turns against Israel. Biden is not so old and so slow not to know that his withholding 2000lb bombs meant more civilians deaths and more photo-ops for the anti-Jewish Woke US media.
Skip Ahead to The Exploding Pagers
When Israel keeps civilian casualties to an absolute minimum, the US claims that Israel’s attacking Hezbollah operatives escalates tensions, increasing the prospects of a wider war.
Pager: Beep, Beep
Hez: Hello
Pager: Israel calling - KA-BOOM!\
“The Biden administration continues to play a double game. Ever since the October 7 pogrom, it has pressured Israel not to take the steps needed to defeat Hamas, stop Hezbollah and neutralize Iran.” See Melanie Phillip
If Joe Biden had been merely misguided in this prior Blood Libels that Israel failed to show restraint to protect civilians, he would have praised Israel’s targeting only Hezbollah senior operatives. Rather, Melanie Phillips is correct, all along Hamas Joe Biden has been duplicitous. But for Joe Biden’s following the Woke Obama Doctrine, Hamas would not have attacked Israel and there would have been no Palestinian casualties, but rather the Abraham Accords would have included Saudi Arabia so that Iran would be isolated and unable to pursue its extermination of the Jews.
