The circle of appeasers in the Biden White House have brought us nothing but a lethal combination of softly spoken words and an ever-present, always-controlling fear of escalation.
“Appeasement” was a theory of the world we thought crushed by the events leading to World War II. But it lives on in the urgent entreaties of the United States in the wake of Iran’s attack on Israel, backed up by leaks to a compliant press, urging Israel to do nothing —nothing at all— after salvos of missiles and drones were launched at its people and of course to not close on the 5,000-10,000 armed terrorists and Hamas leadership hiding in Rafah.
Those terror leaders are protected by the Blinkens, Sullivans and Shermans of the United States propping up an infirm president who can muster only an absurd admonition “don’t” and can’t deliver a speech from the Oval Office apparently.
Scorn is the right response—and resolve to throw them all out in November.
