Israel and the Reshaping of the Middle East

The Biden administration is reportedly considering preemptive pardons for political allies including Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, and Mark Milley. Biden justifies the pardons on the grounds that some officials might be targeted by Donald Trump. 

The president’s pardon power is absolute, but just because he can doesn’t mean he should. 

It’s not surprising that Joe Biden is worried about lawfare. Perhaps he’s measuring Donald Trump with the crooked yardstick that should be applied to his own administration. 

Never before in American history has any president’s Justice Department prosecuted his political opponent. Biden’s did so with relish. Never before had any president cheered on the indictment of a rival based on novel legal theories. Biden did.

Having already broken one of the norms that separates America from banana republics, Joe Biden now seems willing to break another. But America’s had enough.

Just say no, Joe.

 AM Radio in Every Vehicle Act  |  Hugh Hewitt & Congressman Steve Scalise

After October 7 last year—and the beginning of the war started by Hamas’s atrocities, Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to fight until victory rather than a return to the status quo. The Israeli prime minister declared that he would transform the region through the defeat of all enemies. And that applies to Syria most of all.
 
Syria served as the connector for Iran’s proxy war against Israel. By demolishing Hezbollah, Netanyahu created the collapse that drove Bashar al-Assad out of Damascus and into Moscow, ending Iran’s ability to supply its proxies and control the region. 
 
The depth of Israel’s resolve to end five decades of existential threats has been seen since Assad’s collapse. The wholesale destruction of Syrian military assets—especially its long-range and chemical weapons stores—emphasizes how committed Israel is to reshaping the region. The usual tongue-cluckers have objected to this, but Netanyahu will not make Joe Biden’s mistake of allowing terrorists to seize modern weaponry and wait to see where they aim it. 
 
Israel has shown how to fight terrorism and proxy wars. The rest of the world should object less and pay attention more.
