I really believe that. I wrote an article in The Irish Times in which I said "Biden has the lives of tens of thousands of people in his hands and he must take the responsibility if he transfers them into the cupped hands of Netanyahu." America must stand up to its responsibilities. It must. Otherwise, this catastrophe will grow and grow and the damage it will do to everybody will grow and grow. If Christmas is being cancelled in Bethlehem, how sad a time we have arrived at.
