Mr. Biden, Why Do You Hide Your True Self?

Mr. Biden, are you in favor of Hamas remaining a political and military force in Gaza?

You know that they have stated publicly that they will continue to plan and carry out attacks like Oct. 7 as long as it takes. You know that they do not believe in a two-state solution. You know that wherever they are victorious and wherever they are in control, no Jew is left alive unless he or she is a hostage.

Mr. Biden, are you in favor of rearming Hamas? Are you in favor of supplying their fighters and commanders with the food and material that enables them to fight another day? Are you in favor of their receiving what they need to rebuild their 250-mile system of military tunnels? Are you in favor of them deciding how the aid you give is distributed?

Mr. Biden, surely you know how deeply the UNRWA has aided Hamas in establishing a culture of hate for generations of Arab youth? How complicit it is in Hamas’ war? How it has shielded Hamas command centers with its buildings, how its schools not only indoctrinate in hate but shield weapons and ammunition stores and serve over decades as rocket launching sites for indiscriminate bombardment of Israeli towns and cities?

Mr. Biden, you know that Hamas is sponsored by Iran and bankrolled by Iran (as well as by the dupes or stooges of the EU and NGOs and your own State Department). You know that whether you recognize it or not, Iran is at war with the US and with Israel. You know that if you respond predictably with severe force to any warlike action, making them pay a penalty they cannot afford, they will stop. You know that temporizing and pretending has allowed Iran to come to the brink of employing nuclear weapons. You know that delaying establishing credible deterrence until they are fully nuclear armed will be make nuclear devastation more likely than at any time since the Cold War began.

Why then, Mr. Biden, do you dither?

Is it because you believe that crossing the violently antisemitic extreme-left wing of your party will hurt your chances for reelection? That would mean you put yourself before your country and before your obligations before God.

Is it because you are too proud of your role as a founder of the pro-Iran policy instituted stealthily by Obama? Then lie about that, as you lie about the border policy, and pretend you always have been sane about Iran’s criminal intentions. Why do you hesitate?

Is it because you can hide behind the successfully maintained front of likability in which you are so practiced? Surely in matters of life and death, appearances should not rule, only substance. You are capable, in the supreme crisis, to grasp the substance?

Or are you, God forbid, so mentally incompetent that you can no longer fulfill your duties to America? (May we please not be delivered into the hands of Ms. Harris!)

Your initial response to Oct. 7, Mr. President, was beyond anything I imagined. But you are fast beating a horrific change of course that can lead only to disaster. For all of our sakes, for God’s sake, Mr. President, act the man.

I sincerely doubt that you are a regular reader of The American Spectator (though I’d gladly sport you to a subscription, if you’d like). But the connection between leaders and their people, for the good and for the ill, is a fact. 

For those of you who do read this, your asking the questions yourself help to clarify the smog and the stench of those murderous noxious ideologies that Biden has for too long flirted with, not taken seriously, and, through weakness, encouraged and emboldened.

Help purify the air, dear readers. Your focus on the eternal truths that guide our course and on the emergent facts of the wars being fought against us help define who America is going to be. The front lines of the struggle run through our hearts and souls.
