A Missed Moment at the U.N.: Failed President Biden’s Speech Falls Short

Our failed President, President Biden’s last speech at the U.N.—it was supposed to be more. A stage, lit up, where the weight of global history could have rested on his shoulders for a moment, but instead, his voice seemed to drift… lost in the clamor. He stood there, fully knowing the weight Iran casts—a shadow stretching far, tethered to acts of terror, unrest, a constant push toward a nuclear edge. And yet, when it came time to call it out, his words fluttered like pages caught in the wind… soft, brief, almost too familiar. A sentence or two about how Iran wouldn’t be allowed to hold such power. But those in the room, those beyond, felt the truth linger between the lines. Iran—under the watchful eye of this administration—has crept closer to that threshold, unchecked, inch by inch.

“Good news is that Putin’s war has failed at his core aims. He set out to destroy 🇺🇦—but 🇺🇦 is still free. He set out to weaken NATO—but NATO is stronger. [However]…we [cannot] let up until 🇺🇦 wins a just & durable peace.”—Biden on Ukraine at the #UNGA pic.twitter.com/B7fBXg3zyp

Then… the shift, sudden, jarring—Gaza. The narrative changed like the turning of a page, one that is all too familiar in these halls. Gaza and the need to ease its suffering, a call that’s been repeated like an old, tired chorus. But how is Israel’s pain waved? The mothers clutching their children in bomb shelters, the contnuous rocketing of fatal crackers that paint the sky with fear? Not a word for the soldiers who hold the line, who ptotect their land in the face of relentless terror.

And Lebanon—spoken of only in terms of displacement. But no mention of Hezbollah, that silent puppet with strings pulled from Tehran, pushing people from their homes, firing rockets from neighborhoods where families once lived. The balance of words teetered, no mention of the difference between those who hide behind their people, and those who stand in front of them.

In a powerful address, President Biden vowed unwavering support for Ukraine until victory, declaring Putin’s attempt to crush the nation a total failure.

Yet, perhaps what cut deepest was not what he said, but what he did not,  Antisemitism— rising like a poisonous vine and moving around the world, even within these very chambers. It is spreading all around and fuelled by the same forces that keep Israel under siege. And yet, silence. Instead, the common and finished words of “hope” and “cooperation” filled the space, words that often ring hollow in the mouths of those who sow division.

This speech was not just a missed opportunity. It was a reflection of something more profound—a struggle, not just with global politics, but with the very moral compass….. an idea that should guide a nation standing before the world.

Major Points

• Biden’s remarks on Iran’s nuclear threat were brief and lacked strong condemnation.
• His call for easing Gaza’s suffering overlooked Israel’s ongoing security concerns.
• Hezbollah’s role in Lebanon’s displacement crisis was left unaddressed.
• Rising global antisemitism wasn’t mentioned, despite its growing presence.
• The speech emphasized cooperation and hope, but failed to tackle deeper moral issues.
