This is President Biden’s Statement regarding the attack on Israel (from Townhall<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Iran\u2014and its proxies operating out of Yemen, Syria and Iraq\u2014launched an unprecedented air attack against military facilities in Israel. I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At my direction, to support the defense of Israel, the U.S. military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week. \u00a0Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just spoken with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America\u2019s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel. \u00a0I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks \u2013 sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran\u2019s brazen attack. \u00a0My team will engage with their counterparts across the region. \u00a0And we will stay in close touch with Israel\u2019s leaders. \u00a0And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a few problems with the statement. First of all, the attack was not simply against military facilities–it was also against civilians.<\/p>\n

The article also notes that President Biden is demanding that Israel refrain from a military response to the attacks. What other nation in the world would be asked to do that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
