President Joe Biden’s election-pandering to American Muslims was always irresponsible in that it helped fuel antisemitism and indirectly aided terrorists. Now, we know it got an American soldier killed as well.

Back when Biden was still running for president, he and his team were panicking over possibly losing support from activist Muslim voters who wanted Biden to be more anti-Israel. Biden did his best to pressure Israel into surrendering for months after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks but had to resort to pandering to those voters by funneling aid to Gaza. That led to a grand plan to build a temporary aid pier using the U.S. military to make it seem like Biden was treating this seriously.
