Biden and His ‘Ironclad’ Support of Israel
American Thinker ^ | Clarice Feldman

While Israel fights for its life, the Biden adminstration plays bureaucratic games.

I always thought “ironclad” meant binding, but to President Biden it apparently means a pledge that’s good until it becomes politically inconvenient to stick to it. On at least two occasions he asserted his (and our) commitment to Israel’s defense was “ironclad”:

“On July 18, 2023, seated beside Mr. Herzog. “And as I affirmed to Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu yesterday, America’s commitment to Israel is firm. And it is ironclad.”

He reiterated this pledge last month:

"As I told Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad - let me say it again, ironclad," Mr. Biden said.

His comments come one day after an interview, recorded a week ago, was aired in which Mr. Biden urged Mr. Netanyahu to "just call for a ceasefire" in Gaza and in which he said he disagreed with the prime minister's war strategy.

"I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his approach," he said in the interview with US network Univision”.

With rockets pouring into Israel from Lebanon and Gaza, after the most murderous barbaric attack of October 7, “The Biden administration told Congress it would waive sanctions on military sales to several Middle Eastern nations the day before President Biden himself publicly declared that the U.S. would not give Israel offensive aid if it invaded Rafah. (Israel had already begun to invade Rafah.)

As stronk as the iron on the titanic.
Anyone who thinks that US politicians will stand firm with anyone or any country is a fool.
Vietnam is a good example, but since then hanging “allies “ out to dry has become the norm.

When the political winds change direction there is no such thing as “ironclad “

My sense is that Biden is losing more than he gains by stabbing Israel in the back. But that’s the way Obama wants it.
