Bumbling Joe Biden confuses Ukraine with Afghanistan in telling Israelis that Netanyahu is harming Israel while he has a messianic vision.

What goes around comes around. Ask the man criticizing Israel for how it distributes aid to an enemy sworn to its destruction, who then gives the order for a totally botched and inadequate airdrops of Meals Ready to Eat, along with a bottle of tabasco sauce and a a bag of Skittles. Biden’s latest great idea killed at least five hungry Gazans, at least two of them kids. Hamas claims 500 dead, 700 of them children.

The inadvertent revelation by President Joe Biden, caught on a hot mic suggesting he aims to have a “come to Jesus” meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, unveils a layer of diplomatic anticipation fraught with profound implications. This phrase, originating from evangelical traditions aimed at catalyzing profound realizations or changes, sets the stage for a critical dialogue between the United States and Israel.

Biden may claim that he knows better than the Israeli leader about what’s good for Israel and he’s prepared to come to the Knesset, led by Netanyahu’s party, and tell him why he’s wrong. And he’s ready to cut off all but the Iron Dome system defensive weapons to prevent the IDF from doing what both the political and military leadership in Israel says needs to be done: destroying the last bastion of Hamas’ terror empire in Gaza.

Israel’s operational prerogatives in Rafah underscore a security-first doctrine, highlighting the nation’s commitment to pursue threats at their source. This stance, often misconstrued or criticized internationally, reflects the acute security challenges Israel faces. For a productive dialogue, the U.S. must recognize the existential nature of these threats to Israel and the measures deemed necessary for its defense. Of course, Biden these days can’t tell the difference between Ukraine and Afghanistan (hint: the latter wear turbans) and apparently believes he is on a heaven-sent mission to impose a Palestinian State on an Israel not fond of committing suicide.

Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state is not a stance born of obstinacy but a reflection of current realities and security concerns, especially since October 7. Hamas and other enemies of Israel have made it clear that they will continue attacking, 10/7-style, till Israel is eventually destrayed. The high ground the Judea and Samaria, overlooking Tel Aviv and surrounding Jerusalem, would make a future invasion indefensible.

Furthermore, Israel’s continued presence in Gaza, projected to last over the next decade, is a testament to the real threats that Israel faces in pacifying the region. This presence is not a matter of colonial ambition but a security imperative, shaped by the harsh lessons of past withdrawals and the strategic necessity to prevent the territory from becoming a launchpad for aggression against Israeli civilians.

The metaphor of Israel as a modern-day Jesus, set to be judged and crucified by international opinion, echoes a deeper narrative of historical challenges and existential threats faced by the Jewish state. The prophetic imagery of nations gathering against Jerusalem speaks to a recurring theme of isolation and contention, underscoring the need for unwavering support and understanding from allies, notably the United States.

Thus, the real “come to Jesus” moment lies not with Netanyahu but with Biden and his advisors, who must confront and internalize these truths. The U.S. approach should pivot towards a recognition of Israel’s security imperatives, the complexities of statecraft in a turbulent region, and the inherent challenges of peace-making. This acknowledgement would not only pave the way for a more nuanced and supportive U.S. policy, not the bizarre mix of threatens and protestations of fair-weather support from the Israelis erstwhile ally.

This would reaffirm the unshakeable bond that existed between the two nations before the bumbling Biben let his flagging campaign cause him to stab Israel in the back, even while saying he would never leave Israeli defenseless, also a dubious claim given his executive order to apply sanctions to a critical supplier of a component in the essential Iron Dome anti-missile defense system.

The dialogue between Biden and Netanyahu, therefore, must transcend traditional diplomatic exchanges, venturing into a candid acknowledgment of the realities Israel contends with. Let the doddering denizen of the White House come, if not to Jesus, then at least to his senses. Israelis may have disagreements or disappointments in their Prime Minister, but they are not going to let a congnitively challenged and daily deteriorating dodderer tell them how to defend themselves. Time for Biden to come to Bibi.
