Fact check: Biden tells inaccurate story about his 1973 meeting with Israeli prime minister
By Daniel Dale, Oren Liebermann and Amir Tal, CNN
Updated 8:33 AM EST, Sun December 05, 2021

Washington(CNN) President Joe Biden has a favorite story about his long relationship with Israel. For decades, he has been publicly recounting his 1973 meeting with then-Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir -- which he described in 2015 as "one of the most consequential meetings I've ever had in my life."

But parts of the version of the story Biden told on Wednesday, at a White House menorah lighting for the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, were not accurate.

Most of the details of Biden's Wednesday account were the same or very similar to the details in his previous accounts. Biden said that Meir kept referring to a bunch of maps, that future Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was present, that Meir offered to take a photo with Biden, and that Meir painted a dark picture of Israel's security situation but then assured him that Israel had a "secret weapon" in its conflicts with its neighbors: "We have no place else to go."

But two elements of Biden's Wednesday version were different than usual, and both of these changes were incorrect. One of the falsehoods was obviously an accidental slip; the other was more substantial.

Biden began on Wednesday as follows: "And during the Six-Day War, I had an opportunity to -- she invited me to come over because I was going to be the liaison between she and the Egyptians about the Suez, and so on and so forth." Later in the story, he suggested that Meir had referred to him during the meeting as "Mr. Ambassador."

Facts First: Biden misspoke about when his meeting with Meir occurred. The meeting took place about five weeks before the Yom Kippur War in 1973, not during the Six-Day War in 1967. More significantly, Biden inflated his importance to Israel at the time. There is no evidence that Meir had any intention of using him as any sort of "liaison" between Israel and Egypt.

At the time of the Six-Day War in 1967, Biden was still a law student and Meir was not yet prime minister.

I knew this was a lie when he mentioned it...he has to insert himself into every story..

[mountaineer]

Okay, the speech was longer than I predicted (11 minutes vs. 3 minutes), but I was right about the "my son Beau" reference:

Biden compares himself losing son Beau to Israelis whose family members were slaughtered by Hamas: "A lot of us know how it feels. It leaves a black hole in your chest when you lose family, feeling like you're being sucked in. The anger...pain...sense of hopelessness...tragedy"

Hey, Grampy Dementia, all of us have had family members die. Why do you think your loss is so freakin' special?

[Wingnut]

I bet Joe just made up the story about Golda Meir

Damn, I knew he was lying.  The SOB is incapable of telling the truth.  Next thing you know he will be telling people He was a poor black sharecropper's son who never dreamed he was adopted. From rags to riches... to rags.
