On Israel's Restraint

Israel has held back on a ground invasion of Gaza. This is not a tactical or strategic decision by the IDF. Israel has not done what needs to be done to remove the threat of Hamas because the Biden regime is holding it back. While paying lip service to Israel's right to protect itself,  implicit pressure is being brought to bear on Netanyahu that the US will not block anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations that America has provided for the Jewish State except at the end of Obama's last term. This may be unstated but is no less real. It is only the US veto at the UN that keeps Israel within the community of nations and from being sanctioned out of existence or even attacked by the blue helmets themselves. In an evil world, a virtuous state finds itself isolated, even as it is under the guns of Hamas. Also, the Biden regime that was backing and even helping pay for and orchestrate the anti-judicial reform protests (that are really aimed at removing the Prime Minister) holds the card over Netanyahu that even with Israel under the gun, they may crank up the domestic opposition again even in the face of the existential threat that now confronts Israel. The Jewish State is not holding back but being restrained by what is Israel's supposed greatest friend. The cabal that installed Biden has tied Israel's hands.
