A shock new poll shows MAJORITY of America now opposes Gaza war... duplicitous ... trends now
This time, President Biden has truly betrayed Israel.
How can you tell?
His administration is spinning like mad to deny it.
Let me explain. The feckless 15-member United Nations Security Council – stacked with 'great' human rights defenders, like gang-ravaged Ecuador and authoritarian Algeria – approved a resolution on Monday demanding an immediate Israeli ceasefire in Gaza.
But the non-binding measure – incomprehensibly – did not make the pause in fighting contingent on Hamas's release of their 130 hostages (96 living and 34 presumed dead).
It goes without saying that Israel will not comply. One doesn't need to be a veteran diplomat to realize that if the Jewish State halted military operations with no pre-conditions, then Hamas would have no incentive to release its captives.
More maddening still, this ignominious ultimatum comes just weeks after a U.N. report found that Hamas savages raped women on October 7 and continue to sexually abuse women and children that they're still holding hostage today.
As a permanent member of the Security Council, the U.S. could have used its veto power to unilaterally 'kill' this resolution. But, to America's great disgrace, we sat on our hands and abstained from the vote allowing the resolution to pass 14-0.
Echoes of Barack Obama?

On his way out the Oval Office door in December 2016, Barry pulled a similarly cowardly move.
He ordered his U.N. ambassador to abstain from a vote on a resolution calling for an end to Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
If Obama sincerely supported the measure, the U.S. should have voted in favor. Instead, the world's best hope called out sick that day.
It's no wonder Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was outraged by Biden's latest move and briefly canceled an Israeli delegation's planned visit to the U.S. next week.
That meeting is now back on, but, days ago, the Biden administration claimed to be gobsmacked by the reaction.
Grab the Dramamine; we're about to start spinning.
Doing his best Captain Renault, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby pronounced himself 'perplexed' on Monday.
'Our vote does not — and I repeat that, does not — represent a shift in our policy,' he said, feigning shock.
Who is he kidding?
New Gallup poll released Wednesday shows 55 percent of U.S. adults now oppose Israel’s military action in Gaza, while just 36 percent approve. Back in November, 50 percent backed Israel’s war. Support has fallen among both parties, as well as independents.
The U.S. had no problem vetoing three prior U.N. ceasefire resolutions since October 7.
Why allow this one to pass by abstaining?
Well, progressive Democratic Congressman
