Calling Out Biden’s Betrayal

-

Bravo to Sen. Lindsey Graham for proving that Israel still has loyal friends in Washington, despite the Biden betrayals. Graham just introduced a resolution, cosponsore­d by 47 other GOP senators, to prevent President Biden from using weapons as leverage. A vote will force Democrats to decide: Do you stand by Israel or not?

As Graham said Wednesday to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Charles Brown: “Israel’s enemies want to kill all the Jews, and you are withholdin­g weapons from them?”

A host of Republican­s including Sens. Ted Cruz, Tim Scott, Tom Cotton and Joni Ernst on Thursday ripped Biden’s his cowardly betrayal, with Graham accusing the prez of trying to wrench control of the war from Israel: “I got one message for Israel: Don’t let them do it.”

Kudos to the 25 House Democrats who also slammed Biden’s betrayal last week — but shame on all New York Dems (aside from Reps. Ritchie Torres and Tom Suozzi) who are hiding out or even praising the prez.

Ex-prez Donald Trump is on the case, too, telling the 100,000 gathered at his Saturday rally “I support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. Is that OK? I don’t know if that’s good or bad politicall­y. I don’t care. Gotta do what’s right.” That slam was spot-on: Spooked by the nationwide anti-Israel protests, Biden is doing what he does best: placating progressiv­es in the (false) belief that it serves his political needs.

The urgent question now: Will Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer quash Graham’s resolution, or start living up to his endless brags of being Israel’s leading “guardian” in Congress?
