On Thursday American Greatness<\/a> posted an article about a recent statement by President Biden about Israel’s Six-Day War.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Either Joe Biden\u2019s faulty memory or his lifelong habit of padding his resume was on display Wednesday during a menorah lighting at the White House in celebration of Hanukkah.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During his remarks before the lighting, Biden bragged about \u201cthe many times\u201d he\u2019d been to Israel, and then decided to alter history and insert himself as an important player in the Six-Day War.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have known every \u2014 every prime minister well since Golda Meir, including Golda Meir,\u201d Biden said to applause. \u201cAnd during the Six-Day War, I had an opportunity to \u2014 she invited me to come over because I was going to be the liaison between she and the Egyptians about the Suez, and so on and so forth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This would be an impressive story, except Meir wasn\u2019t Israel\u2019s prime minister during the Six Day War of 1967 (she was PM from March 17, 1969 to June 3, 1974), and Biden was still in law school at the time, (where he ranked a dismal 76th in his class of 85).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Golda Meir became Prime Minister in 1969. Levi Eshkol<\/a> was Prime Minister from 1963 to 1969.<\/p>\n

The article at American Greatness quotes a National Review<\/a> article from December 2 of this year.<\/p>\n

The National Review article reports:<\/p>\n

Biden did indeed meet Golda Meir in 1973 \u2014 six years after the Six Day War \u2014 but that is . . . not<\/em> how the Israelis remember that meeting, at least according to a contemporaneous classified Israeli memo from that time<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden warned that Israel\u2019s actions in the territories it had captured during the Six Day War, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, were leading to \u201ccreeping annexation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since he believed Israel was militarily dominant in the region, he suggested the Jewish state might initiate a first step for peace through unilateral withdrawals from areas with no strategic importance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The official said Biden criticized the Nixon administration for being \u201cdragged by Israel,\u201d complaining that it was impossible to have a real debate in the Senate about the Middle East as senators were fearful of saying things unpopular with Jewish voters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meir rejected Biden\u2019s call for unilateral steps, launching into a speech about the region and its problems (possibly the spiel Biden alluded to in his own comments years later).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The official added his own personal impressions regarding the young senator at the bottom of the document, saying Biden was full of respect toward the Israeli leader and repeatedly said he had come to learn, \u201cand yet while speaking displayed a fervor and made comments that signaled his lack of diplomatic experience.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In August 2021, The Washington Times<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

You have to give President Biden credit for consistency. Unfortunately, he has been consistently wrong. As Robert Gates, former defense secretary in the Obama administration, once put it, Biden has \u201cbeen wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately President Biden is the person currently leading our country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
