Could Biden be responsible for Oct 7?

Could Biden be responsible for Oct 7?

I was wondering why the Middle East was relatively peaceful until Biden came into office. I think that it is likely that Joe Biden may have been responsible for Hamas’ attack on Israel and the resulting war in Gaza. I know that is a serious charge and frankly I am surprised that I have not heard anyone broach the idea. Consider that Biden’s lifting of the sanctions against Iran meant that $40 billion has flowed into Iran’s coffers for its oil sales. With that $40 billion, Iran was able to fund its surrogates on the Israeli border to up their harassment of Israel. Where did the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Gaza get all their missiles and armaments? How do those thousands pay for their uniforms and who pays their salaries? It is Iran and where did Iran get the money? From its oil sales thanks to Joe Biden.

Biden’s policy of appeasement resulted in all the Iranian surrogates becoming more active. The Houthis started attacking ships in the Red Sea. Hezbollah started lobbing missiles into northern Israel and Hamas attacked on Oct 7. Coincidence? Maybe but not likely. Israel went into Gaza to eradicate Hamas and Biden has tried to hamper their efforts. He has drawn several lines in the sand over the war in Gaza. He warned Israel that the Palestinian casualty figures were too high and he threatened to hold back armaments. The Israelis ignored him. He did not want them to go into Rafah. Thankfully, again the Israelis ignored him or else the murderous Yayha Sinwar and his like would still be alive. 

Biden and his inept secretary of state Blinken have been trying to get Israel to quit its campaign to get the release of the hostages. The Israelis have said that they will back down only if Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages. Any other solution would be unacceptable if Hamas continues to exist. Trump on the other hand has said that Israel should end the war by eliminating Hamas and that he will help them get that done. Biden seems to have forgotten that Hamas holds four Americans as hostage but not Trump who said “We want our hostages back, and they better be back before I assume office or you will be paying a very big price.” I bet Hamas believes Trump. They have been warned. Look for the hostages to be freed by January 20, 2025 

What about Iran which is now engaged in a tit for tat with Israel? Iran’s feeble attempts to retaliate against Israeli assassinations of Iranian sponsored terrorists caused Biden to warn Israel not to strike Iran’s oil and nuclear facilities. They didn’t. Trump, who probably is a bit upset that the Iranians have targeted him for assassination said that the Israelis should “Hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later”. Again I bet Iran believes Trump and will start to tone down its rhetoric and ratchet back the support of its surrogates. I seriously doubt if Iran will call Trump’s bluff. They have to realize that their influence in the region has been instantly diminished. Trump will cut off their oil sales and their ability to finance terrorism. Their influence in the Middle East will wane. Peace in the Middle East will be more likely as Iran becomes isolated, loses its main source of revenue and is forced to stop funding its terrorist buddies.

  1. Excellent article, Dr. Black. Yes, the policies and weaknesses of our currently lame-duck President Biden gave the Iranian-backed Hamas an open door to invade Israel on 10/7/2023.

    Going back in time, Biden was inaugurated on 1/20/2021. Seven months later, on 8/15/2021, the American flag was lowered at the embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Thirteen service members were killed on 8/26/2021, one from Gibbs. Six months after that, Russia invaded Ukraine on 2/24/2022. The dominoes were falling. The 10/7/2023 attack on Israel was hopefully the last domino.

  2. Biden gave Iran $6 Billion in September ‘23 for a prisoner swap. The money could only be used for ”humanitarian purposes” but Iran’s proxy, Hamas, launched a war instead.
