Fair-Weather Allies: Joe’s Israel ‘Support’
● The Biden administration’s abstention from the United Nations Security Council ceasefire vote is just another stab in the back for Israel (“Leave them there?” March 26).
Not only does this action embolden our enemies and Israel’s enemies, but it sends a message to all our allies that the United States is not dependable.
From the withdrawal from Afghanistan to tolerating terrorist attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and now effectively turning our back on a critical ally, this administration continually demonstrates its incompetence and callous disregard for our nation’s leadership role in the world. Peter W. Kelly

● Fortunately, outside of virtue signaling, the United Nations has little ability to enact its policies.
It seems that every resolution proposed there begins with the words “Israel” and “ceasefire.”
To me, everything begins and ends with the return of the hostages. Why is it up to Israel to make peace? Israel never asked for any of this.
If the globalists at the United Nations truly wanted humane answers to difficult questions, then their Midtown headquarters would be turned into a migrant shelter. John Memoli

● President Biden assured the American people that he was committed to bringing back Americans who remained in Afghanistan after our withdrawal. With all Biden’s bluster, the Taliban still holds Americans hostage.
Now with American hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, our president has once again turned his back — not only on those he took an oath to protect and defend — but also on one of our strongest allies, Israel. Joseph Paino

● What began as unconditional support for Israel and its efforts to eliminate Hamas has morphed into outright hostility.
For weeks the Biden administration’s support for Israel has been waning. Condemnation of settlements, rebuking a ground invasion of Rafah and the continued promotion of a two-state solution all signal an election campaign that panders to Muslim and leftist constituents in key states.
