Making a new deal with Iran is a very good thing, anything that hurts the chance is a very bad thing, including Israel. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an alternative view: the Times is still drinking the Kool-Aid that the original Iranian nuclear pact was a success and is worth saving. To committed dead enders, Iran\u2019s violations of the terms and spread of regional terrorism are irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>The cult surrounding the deal at the Gray Lady includes the paper\u2019s editorial board. Its Saturday screed, written before the weekend attack, began by saying \u201cThere exists now a brief window of time\u201d for President Biden to reach a new accord. The reason: Iranian moderates could be gone by summer. Ah, yes, Iranian moderates, the unicorns that only blinkered leftists can see. So let\u2019s hurry and make a deal, any deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Times, of course, spews a lot of nonsense that is safely ignored, but this time it\u2019s singing in harmony with Biden. The president is so eager to rejoin the pact Donald Trump wisely scuttled that he\u2019s willing to help pin the blame on Israel for the sabotage of the underground facility at Natanz. With initial speculation that the U.S. and Israel cooperated on the attack, as they had in a cyber attack in 2010, the White House quickly denied any role in the operation, which knocked out all power to the centrifuges. \u201cThe U.S. was not involved in any manner,\u201d press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday. <\/p>\n<p>So much for the usual diplomatic ambiguity that would protect an ally and give the U.S. more flexibility when it is questioned in the future about classified operations.<\/p>\n<p>But Biden clearly has no interest in protecting Israel\u2019s likely role. On the contrary, he\u2019s served notice in numerous ways that the full American embrace the Jewish state enjoyed in the Trump years is history.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the efforts to separate from Israel and woo Iran illustrate how Biden is determined to breathe new life into the foreign policies of the Obama-Biden administration, even the failures. Chief among them is casting Israel as more of an obstacle to peace than a unique friend and ally. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (left), then-President Donald Trump and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed (right) display their copies of signed Abraham Accords on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC on September 15, 2020. &#10;\" class=\"wp-image-17958516 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/DonaldTrumpAccords.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/DonaldTrumpAccords.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/DonaldTrumpAccords.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/DonaldTrumpAccords.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/DonaldTrumpAccords.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (left), then-President Donald Trump and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed (right) display their copies of signed Abraham Accords on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC on September 15, 2020.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Tom Brenner\/File<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A clear example is that Biden\u2019s already given the Palestinians two gifts \u2014 hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and the heckler\u2019s veto over America\u2019s policies on their dispute with Israel. Trump had stopped the payments in part because some of the money went to salaries for the families of terrorists. Besides, Palestinian leaders refused even to talk to the Trump team, so why should they get rewarded with American cash. They shouldn\u2019t but, incredibly, neither of those issues seems to bother Biden. Full speed backwards.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Abraham Accords, the historic alliance between Israel and four Muslim nations, a new State Department spokesman couldn\u2019t even bring himself to say the official name of the agreements. Had Trump been re-elected, it\u2019s probable the Saudis would have signed on and gone public with their secret Israeli ties, perhaps even agreeing to full diplomatic recognition. That would be an unprecedented seismic shift, yet Biden began his administration by insulting the Crown Prince by saying he would only talk to the King. <\/p>\n<p>He also cut our military support for the kingdom\u2019s war in Yemen against the Houthis, a terror group that has been attacking Saudi oil fields. <\/p>\n<p>The Houthis themselves offer a window into Biden\u2019s strange priorities. Although \u2014 or perhaps because \u2014 the Houthis are funded and armed mostly by Iran, he removed the terror designation that Trump imposed on the group in the waning days of his administration. Trump\u2019s action was a slap at Iran and a gift to Saudi Arabia, and Biden has reversed that. Again, why?<\/p>\n<p>Still, the timing of the Natanz explosion is important, coming just after Iranian and US negotiators had their first round of meetings. With much of the Israeli press assuming it was a Mossad operation, the Times and Biden seem to have concluded the goal was to thwart progress that could lead to a new nuclear pact. They could be right, but here\u2019s another, more likely possibility. Israel doesn\u2019t trust Biden to make a good deal or Iran to abide by any restrictions. Therefore, Israel acted to set back the mullahs\u2019 nuke program while it had an opening and before it was too late. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, \u201cI will never allow Iran to obtain the nuclear capability to carry out its genocidal goal of eliminating Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether the United States still shares that commitment is unclear. That doubt is a formula for trouble that already has emboldened Iran and led Israel to act without waiting for American <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval or help. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Endless_%E2%80%98Election_Day\"><\/span>Endless \u2018Election Day\u2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reader Ruth Cohen is baffled by the fights over early voting and other rules.

They can prepare by registering, making sure there is child care, someone to bring them to the polls if they are disabled. \u201cThey can set the alarm clock to waken early, and eat and get hydrated.

Then you remember City Hall needs yet another reminder that subway crime terrifies riders and keeps other people off the trains. Some 72 percent of current passengers say they are \u201cvery concerned\u201d about safety. Only 26 percent declared themselves \u201csatisfied\u201d about crime and harassment conditions, a 15 point drop from September. Some 36 percent of those who stopped riding cited crime as the reason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur riders have sent a clear message,\u201d interim transit president Sarah Feinberg told the Post. \u201cIf you make the system safer, [they] will come back.\u201d The survey of 25,205 people should be a wake-up call that more cops are needed. But Mayor de Blasio, his term winding down and the NYPD shrinking, is less interested than ever in doing anything. Remember the survey the next time officials complain about ridership being far below pre-pandemic levels. There\u2019s a good reason.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
