Cute in the sense of performative. Not only too little, Biden’s widely trumpeted hold on some arms to Israel is also largely performative. Please don’t make yourself look as if you just fell off the old cabbage truck. Biden and his advisors are certainly more worried about Michigan and other purple states than is any Palestinian man, woman, or child. Remember, Biden personally saw the 40 beheaded babies that didn’t exist? And bear in mind every bomb that kills a child -- regardless of specifically what kind of bomb -- and every bullet that kills a grandmother, doctor, nurse, journalist, or other civilian is still subsidized by Uncle Sam’s taxpayers; every single one? The nearly one million illegal "settlers" aka invaders in the West Bank, Golan Heights (home of the Trump Heights settler colony), and soon Gaza are also funded by the ever-so-free (with their money) American taxpayers. Want to know why we’re pinched financially and absolutely MUST cut that awful Social Security ? But we have billions, even trillions, for war ? Want to know why public schools are struggling to survive at all ? Want to know why you’re being bled by a health care system for the benefit of the corporate insurance industry on the one hand and rising land, fuel, commodities, and food costs on the other ? Joe Biden hasn't changed a bit. Political junkies who — like the author — have followed him closely since he first emerged on the political scene in 1970 - 72 will know that he is an anti-busing-to-avoid-segregation advocate turned persecutor of Anita Hill and to a lock-em-all-up law and order authoritarian who brags about co-authoring the 1994 Crime Bill with the most notorious southern segregationist of my generation, Sen. Strom Thurmond. Thats what Pres. Biden means when he talks about “working across the aisle.” And yes, that’s the law that secured the U.S.A.’s bragging rights to the highest incarceration rate IN THE WORLD and a militarized police to enforce it. Did you notice that the most bi-partisan support this session shown for any policy in the Congress of the United States was war ? And not just Israel. The floor of the Congress was awash with equally performative Ukraine flags when the U.S. made a show of support for a war being lost at the very moment this entry is written. Listen; Biden is worried about Michigan, the purple states, and the elections. Every poll shows the Dems are losing their own youth-vote and a great share of other demographics. If they weren’t so terrified of a Trump presidency, that number would be even worse. This politicsl move is not driven by any deep concern for Palestinians. In reality, policy has shifted only minutely and the greatest likelihood by far is that U.S. policy and support for Israel’s occupation and ethnic-cleansing will cotinue. The vote to at long last grant U.N. membership to Palestine today underscores the point. Only Israel (duh), the U.S., and its most dependent or desperate client states voted against, Millet of Agentina is groveling to have the U.S. bail him out of the colossal mess he’s making out of an altready disastrouxly damaged Argentina. economy. This is the best the U.S. could cobble together. And of course, the Zionists and their Christian stooges are raising a well-funded and increasingly persistant a HOWL. There’s a battle outside and it’s raging.

I couldn't have written it better myself. We are being told that anybody would be better than having Trump as president again, but is his Israeli policy that different than Biden's?
Thanks for the post! Do you know of an article about Biden in his early political career confronting Netanyahu about something and Netanyahu making him back down and become an Israel first politician? I read the article about a year ago but can't find it. Thanks!
