Resentments are complicating calls by the Biden administration to rally the 
world against efforts to “annihilate” democracies.

For 20 months, the Biden administration has attempted to stake out the moral 
high ground against Russia, condemning its brutal war on Ukraine for 
indiscriminately killing civilians.

The argument resonated in much of the West, but less so in other parts of the 
world, which viewed the war as more of a great-power conflict and declined to 
participate in sanctions or otherwise isolate Russia.

Now, as Israel bombards the Gaza Strip, killing more than 4,300 people since 
Oct. 7, the Biden administration’s unwavering support risks creating new 
headwinds in its efforts to win over global public opinion.

Speaking from the Oval Office on Thursday, President Biden tied American support 
for Ukraine and Israel together, describing both nations as democracies fighting 
enemies determined to “completely annihilate” them. Russia invaded and seeks to 
annex Ukraine, while Hamas, the group that controls Gaza and denies Israel’s 
right to exist, staged a terrorist attack that killed at least 1,400 people in 
southern Israel.

But Israel’s counterattack on Gaza, its threats to mount a ground invasion and 
America’s tight embrace of its most important Mideast ally, regardless, have 
prompted cries of hypocrisy.

Israel indiscriminately bombards Gaza in exactly the same manner that Russia 
does in Ukraine. Israel are not the good guys.
