Garbage.

[gozalim]

I get your point of why you posted this, but I don't like to read self-righteous, racist scumbags thoughts on how to dominate the viewpoint.

it's nice to see someone being consistent for a change. They deserve credit where credit is due

This is what they are saying about the situation, and sounding so logical... The problem is that there is a lot of truth - hard truth - mixed in with the opinions being expressed as truth. Thoughts?

TY!
The reason I ask this is because this is the position of many of the "Hollywood class" that is supporting Israel now.

Shameful

Shameful

I wouldn't call being honest about your position, shameful.

Hasn't Biden always been pro-Israel?

Hasn't Biden always been pro-Israel?

No. Though since he started running, he has claimed such often.

On June 22 1982, Joe Biden was a Senator from Delaware and confronted then Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin during his Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony, threatening to cut off aid to Israel. Begin forcefully responded,

“Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

Senator Biden reportedly banged on the table with his fist, and Begin retorted,

“This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don’t threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the US lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us.”

No. Though since he started running, he has claimed such often.

Anything more recent than 40 years ago?

id rather a president with leadership and solid foreign policy then one that funds both sides of wars

[CountValentine]

id rather a president with leadership and solid foreign policy...

I think we all would. Unfortunately, it looks like we will not have that choice again.

The only thing that is repugnant is this manure of an article and it’s terrorist sympathizer writer.

We all know it is coming. How much will it cost to rebuild Gaza? How can you make certain the funds are not used to rebuild Hamas?
