Letter: Biden causes instability

Joe Biden says a wider Mideast war “has to be avoided.” Well, that wider war is here.

Biden said a cease-fire in Gaza had to be agreed to, while he sent billions in offensive weapons to Israel and tens of thousands of Gazan men, women and children died. Biden said that a wider war with Hezbollah had to be avoided, while he sent billions in offensive weapons to Israel, which engaged in the terror bombings of individuals and neighborhoods, and assassinations in Lebanon. Biden said a regional conflict in the Middle East had to be avoided, while he sends billions in offensive weapons to Israel and warns Iran against responding to Israeli indirect and direct attacks.

Biden has finally gotten the regional war which, despite his hypocritical words, he fought so hard to get. “It has to be … it really has to be avoided,” said Biden as he made sure it would happen. Presidents like Biden have been decrying the instability in the Middle East for 76 years, while doing everything they could imagine to ensure that instability.
