** 15-May-2021 World View: Hostility to Israel and Biden
This morning there was a panel of journalists on the BBC discussing
the Israel-Palestine situation. The hostility to Israel is enormous,
and not surprising.
One person said, "I'm going to say something very controversial.
[long pause] If Donald Trump were president, this would not have
happened."
Instead of the usual screaming, this comment was met with silence,
which I interpreted as tacit agreement.
According to these journalists, Biden was hoping to avoid having to
deal with the Mideast, since he wanted to focus on getting a new
nuclear agreement with Iran, and ending the sanctions. This would now
be very controversial, since Iran is funding Hamas. But the
journalists are blaming Biden for the Mideast war, saying that he has
been ignoring the Palestinian problem in favor of the Iran policy.
So the narrative is growing that the Mideast war is Israel's fault,
and it's also Biden's fault because Biden is not holding back Israel,
and forcing Israel to agree to a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the war is continuing to escalate, and will continue to do
so no matter what Biden does.
