Joe Biden continues to demonstrate his knack for diplomatic gymnastics, but this time, he’s leaping straight into a web of contradictions regarding Iran and Israel. Recently, Biden made headlines for essentially throwing Israel under the bus while attempting to address Iran’s aggressive posture. His insistence that any response by Israel to Iranian threats must be “proportionate” is akin to advising someone being attacked to negotiate with their attacker. Through this lens, it’s clear that Biden remains steadfast in his ill-advised approach to Middle Eastern policy, leaving Israel to fend for itself amidst a sea of threats.
Biden’s fixation on defining “proportionate” responses raises eyebrows, especially given Iran’s recent ballistic missile attack on Israel. One has to wonder if he even grasps the gravity of the situation. It seems Biden is more concerned with appeasing adversaries than truly supporting allies. His ongoing reluctance to provide unfettered backing to Israel only serves to embolden Iran. Instead of recognizing the real threats that Israel faces, Biden appears more focused on constraining its actions under the guise of diplomacy.

It’s difficult to overlook the glaring hypocrisy in Biden’s foreign policy. Under his watch, sanctions meant to curb Iran’s ambitions have been lifted, thereby facilitating the regime’s destructive agenda. Now, as the fallout of his decisions becomes all too apparent, he pivots to a plan to reinstate sanctions, essentially admitting that President Trump had the right idea all along. By flip-flopping on this critical issue, Biden exposes the flaws of his administration’s approach to national security—one that has historically undermined U.S. interests while attempting to placate regime operatives.
Biden’s track record on foreign policy, marked by repeated blunders over nearly fifty years, continues to haunt him. His latest strategy is a feeble attempt to rectify the damage he has done, but it comes too late and lacks the necessary rigor. If history is any guide, the half-hearted measures he proposes will likely lack the “teeth” needed to deter Iran, all while simultaneously undermining Israel’s security in a precarious geopolitical landscape.
As if that wasn’t enough, Biden’s priorities seem misaligned closer to home as well. Questions about his hurricane recovery efforts reveal a pattern of delayed responses. While first responders and local officials were grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Biden was enjoying the beach life in Delaware, leaving the heavy lifting to others—notably his vice president, who was busy fundraising in California. Even as he attempts to catch up by visiting affected areas, the process remains muddled and underfunded. Allocating more resources to victims at home—rather than foreign aid or facilitating migration services—seems a blatant necessity. The administration’s focus on humanitarian services for non-citizens, while American citizens struggle, has become an all-too-common narrative under Biden’s leadership. It’s clear that a serious reevaluation of priorities is long overdue to address what truly matters to the American people.
