(JNS) – Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) denounced U.S. President Joe Biden’s threat to withhold military aid to Israel if it goes into Gaza as “back-pedaling” and “a complete reversal” of his promise to the Jewish state after Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack.

“Biden swore Israel would not be alone in this fight.
Now, he’s making a politically-oriented decision to turn his back on our greatest ally in the Middle East,” the senior Republican senator said on Thursday.
Grassley, 90, added that since October, the Israel Defense Forces has taken “taken necessary actions to respond to the violence instigated by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists, while working to minimize the collateral deaths of civilians.”
“Make no mistake: If Hamas had not invaded Israel on Oct. 7, there would be no deaths today,” Grassley said.
Biden should learn from the past, according to the Iowa Republican, who has served in the U.S. Senate since his first election in 1980. (He was previously a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and of the Iowa state legislature.)
“The United States was the first country to recognize Israel, and our relationship has for decades played an important role in U.S. national security,” Grassley said. “Israel is a strong democracy and a homeland for the Jewish people. We must always stand with them.”
Thanks and you should be blessed!
Biden has sold his soul to the devil for votes. Pity. Fortunately there is still time for tshuva.
When PM Begin was fighting a war of survival Biden threatened to cut off all aid to Isreal even then. So this is nothing new
But it’s Jewish money that got him in the WH and yrs Jewish money that’s paying his campaign. Trumps right when will we weak up
