Why does Joe Biden hate Israelis?

If I've heard it once, I've heard it 100 times. Joe Biden has been strong in supporting Israel, we're told. To that, I'll use one of Col. Potter's favorite lines: Buffalo bagels! Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel the same way a fox is excellent at guarding hen houses. Let's get serious about what's considered strong support.

What we've seen from Joe Biden isn't strong support for Israel. What we've seen is skillful posturing by Biden. The latest major development in the Qataris intervention on Hamas's behalf is a proposal to end the IDF's war to eliminate Hamas. The WSJ is reporting "The chief brokers of the Israel-Hamas hostage-prisoner exchange are pushing the two sides to prolong the truce in Gaza beyond the current two-day extension and start talks that would end the war, Egyptian and Qatari officials said."

The Biden administration is already pushing the Israelis towards significant concessions:

The Biden administration is urging the Israelis to conduct airstrikes with precision munitions when the fighting resumes, while ensuring civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and electrical and sewage networks aren’t targeted, according to U.S. officials.
It's impossible to not damage "civilian infrastructure" because Hamas specializes in hiding in hospitals, schools and other places where women and children frequent. That's why they're called human shields. This is the Biden's way of pushing a permanent cease-fire onto the Israelis without using the term cease-fire. Then there's this diplo-double-speak:
Qatari and Egyptian officials said that the current temporary truce was building the sort of trust needed to move ahead. "We are working to strengthen the Qatari mediation role in reaching a truce and then a permanent cease-fire," Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said Tuesday.

In a sign of the seriousness of the talks, Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns arrived in Qatar on Tuesday, said a U.S. official and a person familiar with the matter. He is set to attend talks that are expected to include David Barnea, chief of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, and senior officials from Qatar, which has close ties to Hamas’s political leadership.

A permanent cease-fire is a victory for Hamas. Israel's War Council should reject this proposal within seconds of its publication. This is a serious document -- if you're a Hamas terrorist. What's disturbing to Israel is the subtle change in the Biden administration's language:

It's subtle but even Al Jazeera noticed the subtle change. Notice, too, that the tweet came from Biden's campaigning ID: In his campaign ID tweet, he insists that we can't return to all-out war. In the real world, though, he sends his CIA director to help nail down the final parts to a permanent cease-fire. That's a victory for Hamas because they were on the verge of getting annihilated militarily. If the Biden administration is tight with Israel, why is it that they're pushing for an Israeli defeat after the Oct. 7 Massacre? If that's what friends do, who needs enemies?
