Biden undermines Israel yet again

With the election of Joe Biden the US State Dept has resumed its anti-Israel policies.  As reported in Arutz Sheva, "The US government will stop funding and participating in research, development, and scientific cooperation projects in Judea and Samaria, three years after Trump approved the cooperation."  This is the explanation for denying a research grant to Ariel University.  The US also plans to rejoin UNESCO in July and pay back dues.  Why did the US originally stop paying dues?   In case you forgot, it's because UNESCO decided to unilaterally recognize Palestine as a member state.  John Bolton recently wrote in the WSJ (on 6/6), "The president couldn’t have more thoroughly alarmed and alienated the Gulf Arab states and Israel if he had planned it. The White House convinced regional allies that Mr. Biden was effectively abandoning them and empowering their enemies by ignoring concerns about the failed nuclear deal and the effect of ending sanctions."

I will never understand how can anyone in our community could have voted for Joe Biden or any Democrat knowing full well that a D administration is far more likely to implement harmful anti-Israel policies than a R one, as we see the case to be.  Could there be any issue that matters more than the support and safety of our own people?
