WSJ: Denying weapons to Israel in the middle of a war is betrayal
2024-04-10
[Jpost] The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) denounced former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats in an editorial on Tuesday for their signing of a letter urging President Joe Biden to stop the transfer of weapons to Israel.

"Denying weapons to an ally in the middle of a war is the definition of betrayal," the newspaper's editorial board wrote, labeling Pelosi a "sunshine ally."

"Democrats claim to be looking out for Israel's best interests," the editorial board wrote, "but that's for Israelis to decide. The threats to withhold weapons from an ally must overjoy Hamas, whose strategy of hiding behind civilian deaths is the real source of Gaza's humanitarian tragedy."

AMERICAN HYPOCRISY?
In its editorial, the Journal argued that the US was holding Israel to a standard that it, itself, had failed to meet, writing "You'd think the U.S. never made a mistake that killed civilians in wartime.”
