Presidentish Joe Biden has a message of peace and love on Monday in the aftermath of the most deadly attack on Jewish civilians since the Holocaust. It did, however, leave me with one question: did the White House’s Dr. Feelgood get your daily dosage wrong, Mr. President?
Before we get to Biden’s latest tone-deaf gaffe that had all the timing and grace of a child’s birthday party clown opening up his act with “The Aristocrats,” let me briefly set the stage for you.
Two weeks ago, the Gaza-based Hamas terror organization did something new in the sad annals of human atrocities. Following a barrage of 5,000 or more rockets, some 2,500 terrorists breached the wall surrounding the Gaza Strip, briefly occupying Israeli lands that stretched from Sderot to Ofakim to a string of small settlements all the way south to the Egyptian border. They murdered around 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians, in the most brutal ways imaginable. There were rapes of the living and the dead, alongside other acts so unspeakable that, well, I won’t speak of them.
It was the world’s first terror invasion, in some cases with the atrocities live-streamed on the victims’ own social media accounts.
It took two days — a 48-hour orgy of killing — before Israeli defense and police forces were able to rout Hamas back into Gaza.
That was October 7 and 8. On Thursday, October 19, Biden chose to address this nation and warn us against the evil of Islamophobia. PJ Media’s own Robert Spencer reminded us on Friday that Islamophobia “is so seldom defined because it is actually a trick, a sleight of hand, consisting of an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary.”

With 1,400 murdered Jews and antisemitic attacks and incidents on the rise seemingly everywhere, here’s what Biden has to say: “I know many of you in the Muslim American community or the Arab American community, the Palestinian American community, and so many others are outraged and hurting, saying to yourselves, ‘Here we go again.’”
Hamas is an organization that exists to murder Jews. That’s it. That’s the mission statement. Two weeks ago, it murdered Jews in such great numbers that the Muslim street rioted in protest of Jews defending themselves.
Having had the weekend to reconsider, today Biden’s social media team instead doubled down on stupid.
As Americans, we must come together and reject Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry and hatred.
I have said repeatedly that I will not be silent in the face of hate.
We must be unequivocal: There is no place in America for hate against anyone. pic.twitter.com/78GJ5mCExt

This is the same Joe Biden who last year tweeted, “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”
As several on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out, the alleged President of the United States is now a Norm McDonald gag.
What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims?

Funny, but I’m not laughing.
