Medal of Honor recipient David Bellavia recently voiced his concerns regarding President Biden's foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly in response to anti-Israel and anti-American rhetoric. Bellavia, an Iraq veteran awarded for his heroism in the Battle of Falluja, highlighted the administration's stance on these issues and expressed his belief in significant flaws within the current foreign policy approach.
Bellavia emphasized the seriousness of threats such as calls for the 'complete annihilation' of Israel and 'Death to America,' labeling them as threats to democracy. He criticized the administration for potentially overlooking these threats and diverting attention to less critical matters, such as monitoring social media posts.
Referencing an incident involving an anti-Israel activist in Michigan, Bellavia highlighted the alarming nature of the 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' chants that were sparked during a rally. The activist, Tarek Bazzi, associated with the Hadi Institute, incited the crowd with inflammatory rhetoric, drawing widespread attention and criticism.
Bellavia connected the anti-Israel sentiments to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, responsible for the deaths of American soldiers and Marines. He criticized the inconsistency in foreign policy, pointing out the disturbing nature of the situation.
Further videos surfaced showing Bazzi using violent rhetoric towards Israel and Jewish people, advocating for the annihilation of the Zionist regime. His statements portrayed Israel as an 'absolute evil' and a 'cancer in the Middle East and in the world.'
Bellavia's remarks shed light on the complexities and challenges within the current foreign policy landscape, urging for a more robust and coherent approach to address threats and maintain stability in the region.
