Former Mayor of Shiloh David Rubin explains how Biden’s actions are the opposite of what he should be doing.
A devastating attack has taken place on northeast Jordan, with drones killing three U.S. service members and injuring 25 others. After being briefed on the matter, President Joe Biden had the following to say in a statement:
“Today, America’s heart is heavy. Last night, three U.S. service members were killed – and many wounded – during an unmanned aerial drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan near the Syria border. While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.”
That said, many feel that Biden’s response looked somewhat weak, especially considering the death of Americans. Among them is Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who believes the goal should be to “Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.”
Following Biden’s comments, Graham didn’t hold back. “When the Biden Administration says ‘don’t’, the Iranians ‘do’. The Biden Administration’s rhetoric is falling on deaf ears in Iran. Their policy of deterrence against Iran has failed miserably. There have been over 100 attacks against U.S. forces in the region. Iran is undeterred,” Graham noted, while also sending “condolences to the families of our fallen heroes in Jordan.”
So why isn’t Biden doing more? Here to discuss the matter further is David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and Founder of the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund. Welcome, Mayor Rubin.

3. Do you believe Graham has a point when he notes that the U.S. should “hit Iran now”? Or is it as simple as that?
4. Are many feeling that Biden simply doesn’t want to attack Iran at this point in time, despite over 100 attacks against U.S. forces in the region? 5. How do you think this makes the country look as a whole?
In your opinion, what should the U.S.’ role be in the Israel-Hamas war? What more can they be doing to lend support?
