The Republicans have given Democrats some real political fodder in this report of recent events focused on support for Israel. From Trump's praising of Hezbollah and its intelligence, to a conference given by heretical Texas pastor John Hagee, where he gave Mike Pence a "Defender of Israel" award, the Istael-Hamas war has provided a number of moments when the conclusion must be drawn that "you just can't fix stupid."

Hagee's group, Christians United for Israel, is purely political. Hagee has disqualified himself as an end-times prophet under the Deutoronomy 18:20-22 principle, but he uses his unqualified support for Israel as a way to bash democrats. So along comes one of his inamoratas, Trump, who clearly has no knowledge or insight on what's going on between Israel and Hamas, and praises the intelligence of Hezbollah, while at the same time getting his digs in at Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he despises. Hagee's group is left either having to defend that, which, of course, they can't, or ignoring it and hoping the hypocrisy and inconsistency will resolve itself.

And right in their faces, President Biden hops on Air Force One and flies into the war zone that Israel has become, in a show of support that they can't match and only wish they could. Not only does Biden demonstrate unqualified support for Israel, and pledge financial help that the Republicans can't deliver at the moment, he also correctly and diplomatically separates Hamas, and its hatred, from the Palestinian people who, for the most part, are pawns being used by Hamas as human shields. Biden became the first American President to visit Israel during a war, adding that to his accomplishment of being the first American President since Roosevelt visiting a war zone not under the control of the United States military. Not a bad day for an octogenerian, I'd say.
