Team Biden’s so-called “assertion of normalcy” on arming Israel is a prime example of the administration’s usual doublespeak. Michael Doran offered a solid takedown of this fantasy in Tablet, making it clear that this narrative is about as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane. According to Doran, the administration’s assertions don’t hold water and crumble under even the slightest scrutiny.
The Biden administration wants Americans to believe that it’s just business as usual when it comes to supporting our ally in the Middle East. But let’s be honest, the reality is far from it. Time and again, this administration has found creative ways to undermine American commitments and security partnerships. From draconian defense budget cuts to signaling weakness on the global stage, the list is endless.
So, what’s the real story behind Biden’s empty “normalcy” claim? Michael Doran points out that this administration has actively reduced the strategic advantage the U.S. once had in the region. Under a guise of normalcy, we see neglect and hesitation instead of decisive action. It’s as if they want to keep our allies at arm’s length while cozying up to regimes that don’t have America’s best interests at heart.

This isn’t about maintaining ordinary relations; it’s about normalizing inadequacy and passivity. Israel, a beacon of democracy in a volatile region, deserves more than lip service and half-hearted policy measures. America’s security and moral responsibility demand unwavering support, not the watered-down commitments that the Biden team is trying to pass off as “normal.”
In the grand scheme, calling the administration’s stance “normalcy” is a brilliant exercise in rebranding mediocrity as stability. But Americans aren’t buying it. Doran’s analysis simply confirms what many already know: the Biden administration’s so-called “normalcy” is nothing more than a mirage designed to distract from an otherwise lackluster foreign policy.
