Oct. 7, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: America’s impact on international events has been the Biden-Harris administration saying a totally ineffectual “Don’t.” Don’t attack Israel and Humas launched the barbaric October raid on Israel. Israel responded with force and Biden said, “Cease fire,” even though Americans were also taken as hostage.
Trump put crippling sanctions on Iran and they had no money to spare. Biden ended those sanctions and authorized the return of billions of held Iranian funds. They used the money to fund terrorist proxies like Humas and others to conduct terrorism against the western nations including the US. The American response under Biden-Harris was “Don’t!” After too many attacks on American forces, the response was a pin prick attack and another firm “Don’t!”
Now Israel is fighting terrorists from Humas in Gaza, fighting against other terrorists in Lebanon from Hezbollah, and crazies from Yemen. Israel killed top terrorist leaders wanted by American military and law enforcement official for years — this administration condemns Israel as military leaders secretly cheer!
What needs to be noted, the international world situation has gotten far worse under the Biden-Harris administration than under Trump. We can’t afford four more years of weak international failed leadership. Having a daughter serving in the Army, yes, this is personal. JAN LOWRY Lexington
