About the Webinar
On May 20, US President Joe Biden promised that his administration would help replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, which “saved the lives of countless Israeli citizens, both Arab and Jew” during May’s Hamas-initiated war against the Jewish state.
Indeed, according to Israel Defense Forces data Iron Dome shot down roughly 90 percent of all projectiles launched at Israeli towns and cities.
Nevertheless, when the time came to fulfill President Biden’s vow, an earth-shattering event happened in Congress: A few extreme House Democrats forced the removal of $1 billion earmarked for Iron Dome from an emergency funding bill.
While the assistance was later reinserted in a different bill, the question begs: How could a supposedly “fringe” group of lawmakers wield so much power? And why would they oppose Israel’s defensive system that weakens terrorists and protects civilians?
Because for those politicians it’s not about saving lives, it’s about narrative.
