Cuomo: President Biden, You’re Treating the War Against Israel as if It Were Another Political Point of Compromise

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "I know that people in the White House monitor what I say. Good. And because President Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, won’t come on the show, I am forced to speak at you rather than to you. This is not my choice. I understand, I talk to people within your party, at very high levels, elected and unelected all the time. I know that the war in the Middle East is a major concern for you in the election, and I think that explains why you misplayed it the way you did today. Okay? You gave a mixed message. You talk tough, what sounded like a threat to your main ally in the region, and then you said you're giving them more weapons. You’re treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise. 'This is wrong, but this is wrong, and we need to do better here and there has to be change, blah-blah-blah, ceasefire.' A lot of words, a lot of conditional language, a lot of half-speak, a lot of appeasement in a situation that is not about balance, it is about realities. And I get the pressure from the left, I get it, and I get how tight the race is and I get how worried you are that you’re not gonna have the same base you had the last time, but that is not excuse an excuse to be weak. There’s a primary reality, okay, and we seem to have forgotten it. Hamas is a terror organization. You designated them as that. They stole people. They need to give the people they stole back to us, to Israel first. The hostages have become an afterthought, and that is wrong. And the reason it has happened is even more wrong. The reason it has happened is because other political exigencies and agendas have overtaken their relevance.”
