Why Biden Is Threatening to Veto Aid to Israel

Joe Biden promised to veto any standalone aid bill for Israel, and Hakeem Jeffries and most House Democrats voted against one. The administration maintains that Israel’s security is so “sacred,” it must be tied to a doomed legislative package containing entirely unrelated issues that deal with border security and Ukrainian aid.

Which, of course, makes absolutely zero sense.

Does anyone believe that the president would veto a standalone bill for Ukrainian aid? Or what about a standalone bill for “humanitarian” aid to Palestinians? Color me skeptical. Now, a standalone border security bill? That he’d definitely veto. Priorities, you see.

As it turns out, of course, Biden is in no danger of having to veto anything, thanks to the fumbling by the House GOP yesterday. Harsanyi's point still stands about the hypocrisy, as well as the double hypocrisy of hailing Ukraine as a beacon of the West while trying to force Israel into yet another frozen-conflict "permanent ceasefire" with an Iranian proxy that repeatedly promises an utter genocide of Jews in the region.
