In the past, Amr, now the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for “Israel-Palestine,” said he was “inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” and accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and apartheid.
In 2002, after Israel killed a senior Hamas commander, Amr wrote that the Arabs “will never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children. And there will be thousands who will seek to avenge these brutal murders of innocents.”
Does this sound like someone who can broker peace between Palestinians firing thousands of rockets to murder Israelis and the targets of that onslaught?
But the Biden administration is a hall of many mirrors. On Wednesday, Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to affirm his “unwavering support” for Israel’s security, and Israel’s “legitimate right to defend itself and its people while protecting civilians.”
In addition, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said there was “a very clear, absolute distinction between the terrorist organization Hamas that is indiscriminately raining down rockets targeting civilians, and Israel’s response defending itself targeting the terrorists.”
The evidence suggests something far worse here than a naive attachment to the two-state solution. For the underlying logic—incredible as it may seem—is that it would suit the Biden administration for Israel to lose. And this is all to do with Barack Obama and Iran.
There is, however, every reason to be wary of such hand-on-heart professions of support from this administration. For its specialty is what’s been called the “values-feint”—making high-minded statements to disguise its morally bankrupt actions.
Much more significant was the sharp dressing-down that Israel’s national security adviser, Meir Ben-Shabbat, felt obliged to deliver last Sunday to his American counterpart, Jake Sullivan, and which became public.
Sullivan had called Ben-Shabbat to discuss Washington’s “serious concerns” about Israel’s behavior on Temple Mount and about the potential eviction of Palestinian families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah district of eastern Jerusalem.
This showed that the Biden administration had swallowed wholesale the falsehood that these two issues had sparked the violence.
In fact, Israeli police only went into Al-Aqsa mosque after the Arabs had turned it into a theater of war, stockpiling there rocks and petrol bombs that they were hurling at Jews and police. READ MORE
