Just days after Joe Biden launched yet another attack against Benjamin Netanyahu, blaming the Israeli prime minister for a lack of a ceasefire deal in Gaza, Hamas made the president and his vice president look like fools again. 

According to the most recent reporting, the latest of several possible agreements has fallen through. Is it because Israel refused to make vast concessions to a terrorist group? Once more, the answer is no. Instead, Yahya Sinwar, the political and military head of Hamas, has scuttled the deal with another last-second bait-and-switch. 

So Hamas said no again, adding new “conditions.” Sinwar sized up the “blame @Netanyahu” reaction to Hamas execution of 6 and liked what he saw. So he’s done it again. From ⁦@yabutaleb7⁩ in ⁦@washingtonpost⁩: pic.twitter.com/eJg3SGCzTQ

For nine months, Biden and Harris have claimed a ceasefire deal was just around the corner. Every single time, though, Sinwar does the same thing. Israel agrees to pretty horrific terms to get its hostages back, and Hamas drops in with a new demand, usually to release even more murderous terrorists. All the while, Democrats continue to blame Netanyahu for not somehow doing enough to get the psychopaths he's negotiating with to follow through.

What we are seeing is a perfect illustration of the Biden-Harris foreign policy. There's no undergirding principle. There's no ability to wield soft or hard power to ensure the world's worst actors stay in line. It's just a free-for-all of lightweights pursuing "diplomacy," a word that has lost all legitimate meaning under the current administration. 

Diplomacy is not a strategy, it is a tactic. It goes hand in hand with leverage garnered through force or the threat of force. When America's enemies do not respect it, then diplomacy is not only ineffective, but it exacerbates dangerous situations. Biden and Harris are weak, and dictators and terrorists know it. They believe they demand outcomes by sheer hubris. That's not how the real world works, something that has become painfully clear over the last four years of continual abject failure on the global stage. 

Further, Biden and Harris have shown themselves to be morally bankrupt. They have thrown their lot in with literal terrorist supporters to try to hold together their fragile political coalition. Meanwhile, real consequences have followed. How much longer are Americans going to put up with this? Putting Kamala Harris in the White House, thereby rewarding her impotence as a leader, would be a disaster.
