Democrat President Joe Biden is continuing to face a mutiny from the radical Hamas-supporting wing of his administration.
Two more officials have just announced they are jumping ship from the Biden admin over the president’s handling of the war between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas.
The two officials protest-quit and cited alleged Israeli obstruction of humanitarian assistance to civilians who reside in the Gaza Strip.
One official, Alexander Smith, a contractor for USAID, said he was given the choice to resign or be dismissed after he prepared a presentation on maternal and child mortality in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Another official, Stacy Gilbert, a State Department official from the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, also submitted her resignation in protest.
Gilbert cited the State Department’s findings that Israel is not obstructing the flow of food or other aid to civilians.
The Biden admin may be the most leftist administration in American history.
However, it isn’t radical enough to outright side with terrorists against Israel.
This has caused several Hamas sympathizers on the Left to leave the Biden admin in recent months.
President Biden has been under immense pressure for months from radicals who want him to either halt support for the Jewish state or heavily handicap Israel’s offensive against Hamas.
Despite that pressure, Biden knows that it would be political suicide to abandon Israel.
Until something drastic changes regarding the conflict, Biden’s hands are politically tied and the radicals will not get their way.
The fundamental issue is that the far-left is trying to get the Biden administration to side with Hamas, a terrorist organization that began this war by launching a brutal terror attack on Israel.
The October 7 attack led to thousands of innocents being killed and hundreds of hostages being taken.
Israel is fully within its rights to exact retribution on Hamas by any means necessary.
Nevertheless, Israel has still exercised restraint and made attempts to minimize civilian casualties.
Gilbert’s resignation was sparked by a State Department report that found that Israel “did not fully cooperate” in the first months of the Gaza war but that it had “significantly increased humanitarian access,” as the war has gone on.
Humanitarian aid deliveries in late April and early May were running smoothly but they have fallen to near zero in the weeks since.
The collapse in aid delivery can largely be attributed to the actions of Hamas.
The terrorist group often confiscates aid to sustain fighters or sells it to the population for inflated prices.
Hamas doesn’t care for the civilians in Gaza, which the terrorists use as human shields.
Instead, Hamas is happily sacrificing civilians to slow Israel down and win the propaganda battle in Western countries.
Israel can only do so much when delivering aid to civilians will result in Israeli troops being attacked by Hamas terrorists who will likely steal any aid for themselves.
The only hope for real liberation for civilians in Gaza comes from Israel destroying Hamas.
But that population is so radicalized against Israel that any hope for peace in the near future is extremely unlikely.
