No change other than the language to mollify and placate some Democratic Party dissidents and the media.
Embassy remains in Jerusalem.
No conditions imposed on military supplies.
Self-defense case applies only to the one side which happens to be the overwhelmingly armed one.
The cost of Israel’s attack paid for by the US aid to it.
UN peace-keeping observers not deployed to either West Bank or Gaza, although they are placed on the Golan Heights and Lebanon borders.
“christ, Bibi! can you wipe 'em out more discreetly? jesus, dude…”
Official American Policy Re: Palestine
Political leaders everywhere on the planet are living in the 20th century.
The 20th century more readily resembles the 15th century than it does the 21st century.
We humans are the proverbial deer in the headlights and an 18 wheeler doing 80mph hauling Roundup is about to splatter us.
Biden could be a hologram and we’d never know it.
Exactly–well put.
Bravo!
He wasn’t very discreet when he tweeted: “The weak crumble, are slaughtered and erased from history, while the strong, for good or ill, survive.”
twas sarcasm…:)) I know, audience analysis and all that.
Say it ain’t so, Joe. New policy same as old policy. It’s so easy for Israel to twist America’s arm. They all bend over whenever Bibi tells them to. Who said the U.S. is the most powerful country in the world? None of them have the guts to say Palestine has the right to defend itself. They (the talking heads in the U.S.)are terrified of crossing little Israel. Boy, Bibi must have something big on all of them. Either that, or they are being well compensated to keep their mouths shut where criticism is concerned.
Apparently he does not mind caging Catholic kids.
I don’t mean to deny that Phyllis Bennis is well informed and reasonably oriented. But this is some very in-house criticism. It pulls punches that can easily be delivered and should.
Biden is not engaging in violence in Israel because he needs to heal the US. He’s not healing the US.
Biden inherited US policy towards Israel from Trump as Trump inherited it from Obama as Obama inherited it from Bush, and as somewhere back past Ezekiel the Allies begat these policies at Potsdam in '45 and put the baby on Harry Truman’s doorstep along with a lot of Nazi operatives to play caretaker. The policies are not all about Israel, but all about Israel within the context of maintaining an Anglo-Germanic Western empire, with the Anglo commanding.
Of course, Biden’s stance is losing popularity with Americans, too, and Bennis applies her history well to perceive that it will become still less popular. But we cannot really afford to pull these punches and talk between ourselves as though Joe were a well intentioned meathead and not a criminal warmonger with a rap sheet going back to the 1970s.
No, the muddle is the good part of all this. Biden is bell-clear that he is as fine with Palestinian deaths as with–gee, let’s pull out a map:
And the various deaths in Latin American countries that come from American manipulation of the drug market and penetration of the various governments thereby,
and the various deaths that are occasioned by the lack of social policies that Biden has favored over the decades.
These articles that favor a nod towards humane policy as a campaign strategy for the criminal class frustrate to the point of itching. We will hear the same sorts of excuses and apologia towards getting us to vote Blue no matter what in '24, and it 's easy enough to predict that the Republicans are not going to draft a Bernie Sanders any more than are the Democrats, so truth, peace, and social programs are effectively off the ballot.
It means that the government is past polite conversation, whet her the rest of us are or not.
Hi nephewsam:
sigh—since Biden is Catholic, I truly wondered if that would motivate him to save any lives of that religion. Possibly not. I truly wonder too if America will ever stop giving money away to Israel -because the citizens in Puerto Rico deserve it more than than a foreign nation which murders as many citizens as possible— Netanyahu seems to be heading for ZERO Palestinians in Palestine.
Hi bardamu:
Biden has already caged Catholic kids? When ? Where? Or was that in helping the UK in its wars?
Hi nephewsam:
Did the public ever now about the USS Liberty, or did the press fail to mention it? Did the government hide the story---- or was it the military? I was never clear on that
Hello!
I was referring to the imprisonment and disappearing of children by the immigration system, which has continued as in Trump’s and Obama’s administrations.
The for-profit prisons partly run his Vice President when she held office in California deserve mention as well.
The story got to part of the public years later.
Joebama to Bennie, “Pull down your pants while I get down on my knees.”
Hi nephewsam:
I wonder…hmmm. Apparently, when Israel’s attacked the USS Liberty, it was not mentioned much in the news. People in America didn’t know. I suppose that is an old pplan by many governments----hope that news isn’t heard and hopefully no one will know. YOU know, the awful things America did and tried at act as if it was all Vietnam’s fault. : (
Ireland has pulled their ambassador and stands with the people of Palestine-----this all started with those brits!
They need some small pox blankets-----but then the zionist state is the most vaccinated “state” in the world-----maybe the plan is in place.
In 1901 the supreme court ruled that the people of Puerto Rico are not Anglo/Saxon-----they are the other----not one of us. Obama lowered their min wage to $6. hour???
No racism here Tim Scott???huh
We live in the SUPER POWER OF THE WORLD and these issues were not discussed in the election.
WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE ELECTION???
Hey you stupid Haaaarvaaaaad grad MORON BOUGHT millionaire corporate “reporters” why don’t you ask REAL QUESTIONS TO THE OVERLORDS???
How can the USA bring peace to the mideast as the USA arm the region to the teeth???
Why do American’s pay the most for the crappiest healthcare in the world???
