Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on May 11, 2024

In rare public comments, US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew is filmed explaining to a prominent ultra-Orthodox rabbi in Bnei Brak the difficult position in which President Joe Biden finds himself as he tries to defend Israel in the war against Hamas.

Its not easy because its a very hard war and its not a very popular war in the United States very unpopular, Lew is heard telling Hillel Hirsch. Hes trying to make his positions clear while being able to continue to help Israel accomplish what it needs to accomplish and when he needs to, saying when he thinks Israel needs to do some things differently as friends must.

Since October 7, I think the world has seen that for most of his life, Joe Biden is a Zionist. He believes in Israel and believes in the need for a Jewish homeland. Since October 7, the world has seen how he responds to tragedy, Lew adds.
