Mike Pence tore into President Biden as he accused him of weakness and betrayal.
In his new video message, the former vice president ripped into Biden while voicing his support for Israel in connection to the ongoing conflict between Palestine and the US ally.
As Pence, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, insisted, the president’s “weakness” aroused evil in the Middle East and allowed the tensions to escalate.
According to Pence, “four years of progress toward peace” were lost after “President Biden took office and … reignited violence.”
“Instead of seeking peace through strength, President Biden has offered weakness and ambivalence and, tragically, our friends in Israel are paying a terrible price,” the former VP said before suggesting one can’t compare the Hamas with Israel.
“One is a sovereign nation with a legitimate government, and a trusted ally. The other, an internationally recognized terrorist organization that has now fired more than 3,000 rockets at Jewish families and business in the past week alone. There is no moral equivalency between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas,” he insisted.
Suggesting that Biden’s actions led to the reignition of the decades-long conflict, Pence tore into the president for restoring funding to the Palestinian Authority.
The former VP went on to blast Democrat members of Congress who have voiced support for Palestine by suggesting they are emboldening the enemy of the United States while abandoning the country’s ally.
“Apparently, Biden learned nothing from the tragic foreign-policy blunders made during his time as vice president,” Pence added in a National Review op-ed that came out on the same day as his latest video message.
“President Obama’s thin ‘red line’ in Syria, his decision to ‘lead from behind’ in Libya, and his slipshod withdrawal from Iraq each created power vacuums that were quickly filled by America’s enemies.
“Now Biden is repeating those grave errors by creating a power vacuum of his own. He has replaced strength with weakness, moral clarity with confusion, and loyalty with betrayal. Biden’s void, too, is being filled by America’s enemies – and Israelis are paying the price in blood.”
As Pence insisted, the only right way to move forward is to “stand without apology for our most cherished ally, Israel, until the violence is quelled and Israel’s security is restored.”
