I don't find the President's decision to limit sending offensive weapons to the IDF as a mistake. We're providing the defensive weapons to keep Israel's Iron Dome intact, but our country, as an ally, has every right to say to another ally that we disagree with their tactics and strategy and we're not going to support it. If your friends can't tell you the truth, who can? President Biden is doing precisely what former Presidents Reagan and GHW Bush did in similar situations.

The President made it clear that we support Israel and always will. That doesn't mean we have to back to their every play.

It isn't about abandonment with regard to the arms shipments. It is about accountability. It is a distinction with a difference. particularly when some try to make it foremost a political consideration.
