President Joe Biden’s overdue address to the nation was marked not so much by what he said but by what he did not say.
The president hosted a barbeque Sunday and then called a lid early Monday despite the news that American citizens — the latest number rests at 14 — were killed along with Israelis in the horrific attacks by the terrorist group Hamas on Israel on Saturday, and dozens more may still be being held captive.
On Tuesday, Biden finally addressed the nation and, thankfully, reversed course from the White House’s now-deleted tweet, which urged “all sides” to “refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks.”
Biden’s speech on Tuesday condemned Hamas and voiced unequivocal support for Israel, promising to “stand with Israel” and to ensure that it “has what it needs to take care of its citizens.”
