OPINION:
When President Biden took office on Jan. 20, 2021, the world was at peace. In the years since, the United States made a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, causing the deaths of 13 service members. It was the worst military debacle since Custer’s Last Stand in 1876.
Russia has invaded Ukraine; that war continues. Hamas invaded Israel, killing 1,280 Israels and escaping with hundreds of hostages. Hamas still refuses to stop attacking Israel. Hezbollah is now attacking Israel and has launched 9,000 rockets into it. The terrorist organization continues to attack Israel with rockets and drones.
Iran has launched 300 ballistic missiles at Israel and threatens to launch even more.
The U.S. has sent an eight-plane squadron of B-2 bombers worth $16 billion to drop 30,000-pound bombs on the Houthis in Yemen. A classified Israeli plan to attack targets in Iran has been leaked. It is widely believed that Israel will soon launch a massive air assault against Iran, while Mr. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are still in office.
Israel has revealed that for the past 20 years it been preparing weapons, including bunker-busting bombs, with which to attack Iran.
Ms. Harris has said that we are “not going back” to the “chaos” of the Trump years, and that “there is not a thing that comes to mind” when she thinks of what she would have done differently from Mr. Biden.
Well, Mr. Biden has done his best to handcuff Israel in its need to defeat its enemies. No wonder the citizens of Israel are in fear of Ms. Harris as president.
I would ask those people in America who care about Israel to not vote for Ms. Harris.
