Biden: End Your Co-Belligerent Backing of Israeli War Crimes

Emphyrio · May 22, 2021, 3:15pm

“The UN calls for dialogue” what a crock! There never has been any true dialogue or the intention of Israel ending the “conflict” or the “Greater Israel” of zionist plan, mythology and supremacist beliefs! until they take all Palestine by force and their apartheid entity! The UN should call for a peace-keeping force - then they would see who is the enemy and who the victims! An oppressed people under brutal occupation at the mercy of a violent racist aggressor does not enter into “dialogue” or ‘negotiate’ with that enemy until certain serious reforms and end to violence are met and all illegal activity ended - the disparity between Palestinian reality and Israeli extremist behavior and agenda is too extreme!!

The Israeli MO is and has been to intentionally incite Palestinian protests against the endless zionist Occupation , numerous killings/murders, including Americans - Rachel Corrie one of many -, illegal “settlements”, Al Aqsa incursions by IDF and/or right-wing extremists and “settlers”, home demolitions, water rights thefts - the list of Israeli atrocities and provocations is very long and they use the “last straw” response from Palestinians as pretense for further ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The israeli regime and its treasonous US allies and agents are war criminals without any conscience or humanity, only racist supremacist extremist beliefs - Biden supports that reality when he parrots the “right to defense” lie!.

Remember the Israeli IDF policy to “break their bones” ? (see link) Any Palestinian kid caught throwing rocks at tanks or fully armed IDF goons had their arms or legs put against a curb or whatever and stomped to break their arms! Now they shoot to kill or maim!

There is ZERO justice or independence from the sycophant Israeli asslicker US administrations - at this point in time uncle joe biden - none! Yeah, right, Joe! lap-up & spread the Israeli line of lies/propaganda and deceit - “Israel has a right to defend itself” - as depraved craven support for overt Israeli crimes as ever was! MoFo’s! Palestinians would have been a far-better honest allies than Israel ever was!

Hell, the Israeli extremist-terrorists attacked and tried to sink the USS Liberty in an attempted “false-flag” op, killing or wounding over 200 American sailors to blame another nation or blind our intell in the 1967 war and the US gov has never done anything about it! - just keep giving more billions annual tribute to wealthy Israel to coddle the US Jewish and evangelical vote and arms industry! Far beyond ordinary kissing corporate ass for campaign contribution bribery! The Israeli subversion of US sovereignty and foreign policy has been a fact for many decades getting more entrenched, extremes and treasonous as time goes bye

BDS! Zionism IS Racism! The Israelis are NOT America’s friend - they only use us for their own racist expansionist purposes to take Palestine by force and wage wars for Israeli wxtremism - odious truths that have cost America dear in wars, killings, lost political respect around the world, and our own integrity trashed! ENOUGH!

The Crusades are alive & well in Palestine & elsewhere in the Mideast in places like Yemen & Syria. We’ve witnessed the Neoliberals proposal of a two-state solution for Palestine fall apart thanks to illegal Israeli settlements along with evictions and what has become the world’s largest concentration camp in Gaza. All brought on by Zionism and the American military-industrial complex. Our politicians are bought off by AIPAC and parrot what they’re told to say, mostly ‘two-sidedness’ that tries to create a false equivalency between the carnage & deprivations suffered by the Palestinians with Israeli property damage from a handful of small rockets that penetrate their missile dome defense system. Only a poorly informed fool would believe this, but like Hitler’s Big Lie & Trump’s ‘I won the election’ it achieves traction thanks to an American public as well informed as a turnip patch.

As Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) declared this week: “These atrocities are being funded by billions of our own American tax dollars while communities like mine in St. Louis are hurting and are in need of life-affirming investment here at home.”

Well said, Cori Bush! To paraphrase another Bush: YOU ARE EITHER WITH THE TERRORISTS THAT FUND THESE EGREGIOUS, ISRAELI ATROCITIES OR YOU ARE WITH CORI !

Thanks Ralph, you are spot on. Mumbling Joe will never do the right thing unless pushed into a corner. Even then, he will do something like form a committee, and then hope it all goes away. His political tone-deafness is already dragging him down in the polls, and it is only going to get worse for him if he keeps trying to prop up the status quo in foreign policy. In fact, his foreign policy is worse than Obama’s and as bad as Trump’s. He is shaping up to be the miserable failure of a president that many progressives feared during the campaign. He has time to turn it around, but remember, we are talking about Joe “Bomb Them All” Biden. Joe “Lock Them All Up” Biden. Joe “Regime Change” Biden.

Let’s hope something happens that makes mumbling Joe grow a spine and a heart, for once.

In the meantime, let the unions exercise their power.

Following the example of Italian dockers, South African workers refuse to handle Israeli cargo

bardamu · May 22, 2021, 8:47pm

While we are being optimistic, let’s append a few more instructions to Joe’s docket:

End the co-belligerent backing of Israeli war crimes
End the co-belligerent backing of Saudi war crimes in Yemen
End the belligerent occupation of Iraq
End the belligerent occupation of Afghanistan, including participation in the illegal poppy market
End the belligerence in Pakistan, including all drone activity
End the belligerent provocations of Iran
End the co-belligerent backing of violent disruption in Syria
End support for coup attempts in Venezuela
End support for coup attempts in Bolivia
End support for the coup in Honduras
End support for the coup in Ukraine
End moves to press NATO arms east against treaty agreements
End attempts to encircle, malign, and provoke Russia
End the belligerent “pivot to Asia” provocations in the Asian Pacific.
End “sanctions” altogether
End fiat murders by the US government
End universal surveillance

Can it be impractical to observe publicly at some point that pretty much all US foreign policy is against pretty nearly everyone’s best interests as well as against most opinion of American citizens. Let us not interpret government by consent to mean government by despair or by atrophy of reason.

It is fine that Mr. Nader articulates his request politely, but I do not think that the rest of us necessarily ought to follow suit. We need a bigger stick for this Biden guy. And by the time the population wields a bigger stick than the people to whom Biden owes even his nomination, this will become an event.

A large show of non-cooperation early may save us more radical conflict down the line.

Yes, it is time to end the USA’s backing of Israeli war crimes and crimes against its non Jewish population, another reason to end aid that none of the writers mention is that Israel is not a Third World nation so it is capable of handling its own economy and military without foreign aid. Israel’s supporters say Israel is such a successful nation. It does nothing on its own to succeed and all its businesses as well as its military are funded by the US and much of its allies. Without aid, Israel would have to succeed on its own or be as backward as Romania and Albania, two of the most backward nations in Europe.
If Israel is as successful as it says it is, it could provide aid to Developing Nations including its neighbors until they become self sufficient.

Zionists should have lost our support long ago: I suspect they’re laughing at us, being such easily controlled fools, against our own interests.

stardustIBID · May 22, 2021, 10:40pm

Hi Emphyrio:
Thank you for this writing. It’s wonderful and Joe Biden does not have the brains or the communication skills which both you and Ralph Nader have.

stardustIBID · May 22, 2021, 10:43pm

Hi PMP420:

Don’t forget the big lie of Britain and the Balfour Agreement—Palestine had no part in that agreement.

HelenB · May 23, 2021, 6:09am

And, Americans, we do not need so many in the military. Don’t sign up. Dont renew. Immigrants, don’t sign up

Foghorn · May 23, 2021, 2:15pm

I agree with nearly everything Ralph Nader has to say in this article, except for his endorsement of the “two-state solution.” That idea has been dead for a long time. Israel has never had the slightest intention to grant Palestinians a state of their own. Invocations of this policy is merely a convenient cover for US politicians to allow Israel’s ongoing ethnic cleansing to proceed unhindered.

The US should acknowledge that the two-state solution is dead and demand that full political rights be granted to all Palestinians. Until that becomes a reality the US should end all aid and diplomatic support for Israel and impose the same sanctions on Israel that were imposed on apartheid South Africa.

Some feel that:
Selective Empathy is Far Worse than No Empathy at All
~https://theglobepost.com/2019/10/28/selective-empathy/

Obviously it goes much deeper than Biden. To only address Biden about the backing of Israeli war crimes as the title suggests is misleading.

I hope journalists start naming those in and around Biden that play a major role in the ongoing support of Israeli war crimes. Never any mention of Biden’s chief of staff . . . . among others.

The timing of this . . . . did Israel know that this new team in the Whitehouse would not do anything to stop this most recent horrific slaughter?

And let’s keep this in mind when speaking of Biden:

~https://abcnews.go.com/US/obama-era-officials-return-white-house-worth-millions/story?id=76582015

All of those that surround Biden are soaked in pathological wealth and they continue to get wealthier. None of that comports with empathy and compassion.

stardustIBID · May 23, 2021, 4:55pm

Hi goldtree:

Biden like Trump seems to have forgotten those other US citizens in Puerto Rico.
Let’s see, hmmm ----Trump threw paper towels to them—what will you send President Biden?
Yes we could send the $ and what are we doing to help Yemen, and Syria, as there are actual peope there who need help. ---- but most of all, Palestinians have been attacked, murdered, and robbed of their land for 73 years-----maybe the UK shoud chip in, after all, they approve the Balfour Agreement that true became a "license to kill. " : (

Wellan · May 23, 2021, 5:49pm

Definitely worth reading again and/or chanting? from bardamu.
16 chants in 4-4 time. Add a 17th * End War.
My exodus missive (past post) is meant to reveal a truth,
Thou shalt not kill, even when the godly or the (pretentiously?)
god-fearing say that God says it’s ok.

illusion · May 23, 2021, 8:12pm

The two state solution is RACIST------- The zionists want a PURE state----where have we heard that before??? This is just like the USA using treaties to carry out GENOCIDE!—While everyone talks the invader STEALS! AND KILLS!

George Will on This Week-----this will never work—and I agree.

ONE STATE----ONE VOTE----AND STOP PAYING FOREIGNERS TO MOVE TO THE SOVEREIGN LAND OF PALESTINE!

Amina888 · May 24, 2021, 2:16pm

Thank you for an excellent description and analyses on who Joe Biden is. In fact, many people warned the world and Americans before and during election?! ( of course not elected democratically by people, but democratically by IPAC and Military industries) that Joe Biden is a warmongering Zionism lovers, like Trump and even worse.

Amina888 · May 24, 2021, 2:29pm

Thank you! Very well wishes and hey action to make USA a state of humanity and justice. Unfortunately these endings will never happen until people of USA take over the leadership and transform the great nation together on a basis of justice, peace and humanity. It is the society that the economy professor, Richard wolf recommends, “Socialism” a Socialist USA which co-operate with all nations across the world instead of the current policy (hostile to any nation who stands against USA warmongering and bullying policy).

Wellan · May 24, 2021, 5:45pm

My main issue is environmental. An ecologically sound natural environment will require the end of global trade as it is conducted today. It will mean the end of daily rush hour freeway commutes. It will mean extensive redevelopment of car-dependent neighborhoods to add retail and commercial services more along the lines of Mom and Pop stores rather than Target or Walmart, Costco or Amazon. We will not see “driverless” cars rolling around empty in the future. We will see fewer cars and trucks as the need for them dissipates.

CityguyUSA · May 28, 2021, 2:12am

We need to block all money for weapons to only our own government’s usage for defensive purposes only meaning there would never be a reason for an American weapon to be found in a country that couldn’t be explained. I’ve had my fill of war criminal executive branch politicians and it’s time that they along with a congress that refuses to do their job are charged with war crimes and complicity.
