Joe Biden has drawn a direct, provocative link between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’s attack on Israel as he urged Americans not to walk away from their role as “a beacon to the world”. In only the second Oval Office address of his presidency, Biden said he would ask Congress to provide aid for both Israel and Ukraine and denounced the scourge of antisemitism and Islamophobia at home.
The president’s 15-minute address sought to weave the Ukraine and Middle East conflicts together to convince war-weary voters and hardline Republicans of America’s obligations. It is a conflation that will make some uneasy, especially as Israel, with vastly superior military power, prepares for a ground invasion of Gaza.
“Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: they both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,”
said Biden, sitting at the Resolute desk with flags, family photos, gold curtains and a darkened window behind him.
Comment
The duel crises of war in Ukraine and Israel are providing a daunting diplomatic test for America. Biden flew to Israel on whirlwind trip to show his support for Israel. On his return he made his second only address to the nation on prime time TV. His message was that the USA had to stand with Israel and Ukraine. He also said that both wars were linked. Putin and Hamas both wanted to destroy a neighbouring democracy.
With Bible in hand we know they are connected and will become ever more so. Putin is currently attacking a Jewish leadership in Ukraine and calling them Nazi’s. Ukraine is the only country in the world (apart from Israel) with a Jewish president and prime minister. Putin will one day invade Israel itself and take a spoil. The wars are connected.
Bible Quote
A long time from now you will be called into action. In the distant future you will swoop down on the land of Israel, which will be enjoying peace after recovering from war and after its people have returned from many lands to the mountains of Israel. (Ezekiel 38:8 NLT)
Notice Gog/Putin invades Israel when Israel is recovering from war (the inner ring war). Israel is then living in peace.
