Shoshana Bryen discusses how Joe Biden's bunch has kept on lecturing Israel, and even their alleged support for Ukraine against Russia is decidedly unconvincing:

The Council on Foreign Relations reports that U.S. aid since January 2022 totals $75.4 billion: $46.3 billion (61%) in military assistance; $29.1 billion in humanitarian relief, including refugee support and budgetary aid. The administration is seeking another $64 billion.

In the same period, a combined estimated 500,000 Russian and Ukrainian troops have been killed or injured, according to The New York Times, and 6.2 million Ukrainians have become external refugees with 5.1 million internally displaced.

After the Hamas massacres of Oct. 7, the Israeli government also posited three war aims: uproot the Hamas military structure from Gaza; maintain Israeli security control over the territory; and prevent the Palestinian Authority (PA) from taking control of Gaza in a bid for a “two state solution” favored by Washington.

President Biden has been rhetorically very good on the first goal.

But rather than offering Israel the same unconditional and open-ended support Ukraine received, the U.S., with its European allies and international organizations including UNRWA, has been increasingly determined to force Israel to adopt American — rather than Israeli — aims on the other two points.

The president himself noted, “I also advised Israelis not to let their pain and anger mislead them into making mistakes we ourselves have made in the past.”

Since the U.S. has not found itself under attack in the homeland since 2001, and – happily – never had more than 1,200 of its citizens tortured, raped, burned alive and beheaded in their own homes one night, or had hundreds – including babies – kidnapped to hostile territory from those homes, it is unclear which American mistakes he believes Israel might make without U.S. “advice.”

While the IDF operation was just getting started, Secretary of State Blinken told a Senate hearing that, after Israel succeeded in ousting Hamas, “What would make the most sense would be for an effective and revitalized Palestinian Authority to have governance and ultimately security responsibility for Gaza.”

It is well-known that the PA uses tax revenues received through the Israeli government for salaries and payments to terrorists, including Hamas terrorists. Israel announced it would withhold the amount of the payments.

The PA replied it would receive all of the money — or accept none. Washington has demanded that Israel turn over the money.

And that's offensive in the extreme, particularly to the victims of Hamas and PLO. Biden and Blinken's continued support for the unworkable 2-state "solution" has done nothing but lead to some of these disasters, and will continue to do so for a long time.
