President Joe Biden’s response to the destruction of a Gaza hospital has left conservatives shaking their heads in disbelief. In his statement, Biden claims to be “outraged” and promises to investigate. But let’s take a closer look at the facts.
US President Joe Biden says he was "deeply saddened and outraged" by the Gaza hospital explosion, and tells Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you."https://t.co/PAiZ4D1jU3

Hamas, the notorious terrorist organization, is quick to blame Israel for the blast. But what do we know? Israel has provided evidence showing that the rocket was actually fired from within Gaza by a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist. It’s clear where the blame should lie, yet Biden chooses to ignore these facts and jump to conclusions.
The President’s statement is nothing more than political posturing. He claims to stand for the protection of civilian life during conflict, but his actions speak louder than his hollow words. Pulling out of a meeting with President Biden, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is clearly not interested in finding a peaceful solution. And yet, Biden fails to condemn his actions and instead focuses on placing blame on Israel.
It’s time for President Biden to show true leadership and support the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel is facing an onslaught of attacks from Hamas, a group that openly champions violence and seeks the destruction of Israel. They have killed over 1,400 Israelis in a massive terror attack, and yet Biden seems more concerned with appeasing the Palestinians than standing up for our ally.
The evidence is clear. The rocket that destroyed the hospital was fired by a terrorist group that has no regard for human life. Israel, on the other hand, is seeking to defend its land and its people from these heinous attacks. As Biden meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he should be standing shoulder to shoulder with our ally and sending a strong message to terrorists worldwide.
But instead, Biden’s response is lackluster and ineffective. His failure to unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself is a disservice to the American people and the values we hold dear. It’s time for President Biden to put politics aside and stand up for what’s right. The people of Israel deserve nothing less.
