Angry that Israel’s free and fair election resulted in a victory for Benjamin Netanyahu rather than the Biden administration’s preferred candidate, Yair Lapid, the administration has adopted a policy towards Israel characterized by petulance, insults and slights. While this policy undermines both the U.S.-Israel relationship and America’s national security interests, it serves to advance President Joe Biden’s ambitions as he prepares to run for reelection in 2024 and stave off a primary challenge from the progressive left.

The toxicity of this approach is demonstrated by three notable examples: The recently announced FBI investigation into the death of Palestinian-American Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh; the keynote address delivered by Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the left-wing lobby J Street’s annual conference; and the Biden administration’s craven attempt to revive the disastrous 2015 Iran nuclear deal.</blockquote></ref> by failing in it, big time, Biden, politicized the [[FBI]] (using its resources for politics) to "investigate," the pro Jihad reporter.<ref>Caroline Glick, [https://www.jns.org/opinion/the-biden-administration-weaponizes-the-fbi-against-israel/ The Biden administration weaponizes the FBI against Israel], ''JNS''

As in the Dreyfus affair, there are no Jewish criminals here, and everyone knows it. The Biden administration has ordered the FBI probe into Shireen Abu Akleh’s death because it wants a crisis with Israel.

And so, justice is sacrificed in order to avoid angering the PA. That’s why the FBI will investigate the accidental death of an Arab-American in Israel who placed herself in a dangerous situation, but not the deliberate murder and attempted murder of Jewish Americans in Israel. That’s why terrorists will be extradited and transferred to the US from around the world – but not if they are Palestinian Arab killers of Americans. And this outrageous double standard will continue until American Jewish leaders make it clear to the Biden administration that they will no longer stand for it.

Indeed, since the [[State Department]] as well as [[Israel]] have already ruled death an accident, a probe from the America First Legal Foundation, a conservative watchdog group, wants to know why Biden’s DOJ is investigating the accidental death.<ref>Adam Kredo,  [https://freebeacon.com/?p=1665114 Biden’s DOJ Is Investigating an Accidental Death in Israel.
