“In a world of complex threats, our security and leadership depends on all elements of our power – including strong and principled diplomacy.”
- Barack Hussein Obama
Under former president Obama, Obama, Vice President Biden, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s diplomacy…
- didn’t support Iran’s democratic Green Movement (2009),
- enabled the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood (25th January Revolution of 2011),
- supported the overthrow of Libya’s leader Quadafi (2011),
- refused to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (2012),
- ignored warnings of a terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi (Sept. 11, 2012),
- interfered in Israel’s 2015 presidential election (2014), negotiated a disastrous Nuclear Deal with Iran (2015),
- released billions of dollars to Iran (2016),
- condemned Israel for building settlements (2016), and
- paid $400M to Iran to release 5 American prisoners (2016),
- paid $400M to Iran to release 5 American prisoners (2016),
…among other actions.
And Obama’s successors, the Vice President Harris, President Biden, and Sec’y of State Blinken’s diplomacy…
- dropped UN sanctions on Iran imposed by President Trump (2021),
- released $6 Billion to Iran in exchange for 5 prisoners (Sept. 11, 2023),
- called on Israel not to enter Gaza to destroy Hamas,
- built then dismantled a (failed) $25M pier to send aid to Gaza (2024),
- withheld approved military aid to Israel for entering Rafah / Philadelphi Corridor (2024),
- sent a ships, fighter planes, and thousands of troops to the region (2024), and
- refused to attend Netanyahu’s speech to the US Congress (2024),
- sent a ships, fighter planes, and thousands of troops to the region (2024), and
…among other actions.
One might conclude the “strong and principled diplomacy” practiced by Obama and his proteges since 2008 appeases Muslim Caliphates while undermining and marginalizing Israel, America’s dependable Middle East ally since 1949. A diplomacy which may have emboldened Hamas to attack Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel to respond by finally destroying Hamas, and a conflict which finds Israel fighting both Iran’s proxies – Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis – and now Iran itself.
“The only real diplomacy ever performed by a diplomat is in deceiving their own people after their dumbness has got them into a war.
- Will Rogers
The situation in the Middle East remains delicate: Despite Iran’s claim their attack on Israel “is over”, there’s always the possibility of a direct military exchange between Israel and Iran, and even a remote chance of a nuclear event such as Israel targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities or both sides launching nuclear weapons.
So, while we wait to see what deceptions diplomats will use to excuse their “dumbness” there’s only one thing to do: SING!
Stuck In The Middle With Jews
(Sung to the tune “Stuck in the Middle with You”,
by Stealers Wheels, written by Gerald Rafferty & Joe Egan, 1972)
Well, I don’t know why I’m in such a fright I guess the feeling I got isn’t right I’m so scared after I went to that fair And saw Hamas killing Jews everywhere Hamas to the left of me, Hezbollah to the right Here I am, stuck in the land of the Jews |
|
Yes, I’m here in the land of the Jews And I’m wondering what the Muslims will do It’s so hard to keep a smile on my face When they want to kill the whole Jewish race Hamas to the left of me, Hezbollah to the right Here I am, trapped in the land of the Jews |
|
Chorus: Well, they started off with nothing And now Israel’s a prosperous land And then Palestine comes crawling Launching their attacks and say “Leave, leave“ |
|
Trying to make some sense of it all But I see Hamas wants no peace at all As they build their tunnels under my floor Or slay families after forcing their doors Hamas to the left of me, Hezbollah to the right Here I am, trapped in the land of the Jews |
|
Chorus: Well, they got Gaza for nothing And they kept it an impoverished land The terrorists keep attacking Sponsored by Iran and say “Peace, peace” |
|
Well, I don’t know why Muslims want to fight Perhaps the promise of Virgins is nice I’m so glad the IDF is prepared To stop those Muslim terrorists everywhere Hamas to the left of me, Hezbollah to the right IDF, defending innocent Jews |
