Should Israel follow the advice of Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken on Gaza? The right answer is simple but not easy. It has nothing to do with partisan politics. It has to do with results.

 A country should pick its advisors and its strategy the same way someone picks a professional to do a job: a plumber, electrician, dentist, piano teacher, or orthopedic surgeon. Normally, we check that professional’s record fixing pipes or teeth or mending wires or bones. Then we ask about satisfied customers.

With Joe Biden and Tony Blinken, as you look around the world, there are not many living satisfied customers.

The Biden-Blinken strategic portfolio includes the less-than-exemplary American withdrawal from Afghanistan and the not-exactly-wonderfully executed war in Ukraine.

Since the Biden Administration is really staffed by many from Barack Obama’s Administration, we need take a quick peek at the strategic record of Barack Obama and his team.

Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize scarcely weeks after taking office, and then sped the world to war and chaos. Obama rushed to remake the Middle East by sowing destruction and mayhem in Egypt, Libya, and Syria.

Obama’s satisfied customers included the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the Assad Regime in Syria, the ayatollahs in Iran, and a power-hungry dictator in Turkey.

Very satisfied customers included Vladimir Putin who got a military base in Syria thanks to the Obama-aided anarchy that ripped the country to shreds and sent waves of Muslim refugees to Europe. No red lines there. 

There were also a few happy gangs in Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other American officials.

However, the Obama-Biden-Clinton policies left many unsatisfied customers — hundreds of thousands who were killed or displaced thanks to the brilliant initiatives of Mr. Obama, the Peace Prize laureate.
