US Senile-in-Chief Biden: “Israel is the best $3 billion [annual] investment we make. If Israel didn't exist, the US would have to invent an Israel to protect its interests in the region.”
Now you understand why the US is blindly backing its apartheid Jewish colony in Palestine.
In late 2023 and into 2024, as the Israel-Hamas conflict continued, a number of social media posts highlighted U.S. President Joe Biden’s longtime support of Israel. Many such posts sought to criticize him for that support as the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israeli bombardment approached more than 27,000.
The posts included an old video clip of then-U.S. Sen. Biden from 1986 in which he allegedly said, “[Supporting Israel] is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”
DON'T YOU THINK THAT THIS WAS EXACTLY THE IMPETUS BEHIND CREATING THE FREAK COUNTRY OF ISRAEL IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY?
TO SERVE AS A BRITISH - AND NOW AN AMERICAN - COLONIAL INVESTMENT IN THE NEAR EAST WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO PROTECT ANGLO-SAXON "INTERESTS" IN THE REGION? AND REGARDLESS OF THE HARM DONE TO THE ENTIRE INDIGENOUS NATION OF PALESTINE.
THE WEST - AND PARTICULARLY GERMANY, ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES - IS THE CRIMINAL MASTERMIND IN THIS WHOLE PALESTINIAN HEARTACHE.
AREN'T THOSE ARAB COUNTRIES WHO SOLD THEIR SOULS TO THE ANGLO-SAXON DEVIL TRAITORS FOR MAKING PEACE WITH THE FOREIGN COLONIAL INVESTMENT IN PALESTINE? SOME OF THEM ARE THEMSELVES WESTERN "INVESTMENTS" LIKE THE GULF STATES, EGYPT, JORDAN....HOUSING AMERICAN AND BRITISH MILITARY BASES TO PROTECT THEM AND THEIR REGIMES AGAINST HYPOTHETICAL ENEMIES (IT USED TO BE AGAINST THE COMMUNISTS AND THE SOVIETS, THEN AGAINST TERRORISM, NOW IT IS AGAINST IRAN...) THESE ARAB COUNTRIES MUST FEEL LIKE BRAINLESS SHEEP LED BY THE ANGLO-SAXON SHEPHERD TO THEIR EVENTUAL DEMISE.
Biden indeed said the above words, in the context of opposing an arms sale to Saudi Arabia. He argued that sending weapons to that country would compromise Israel's security.
Biden supported prohibiting arms sales to Saudi Arabia because it would put Saudi Arabia in the position of having to support its “Arab brethren” against Israel. The quote in question emerged at the end of Biden’s statement, transcribed below.
Around three hours' worth of the Senate debate, including Biden’s full statement, is available for viewing on C-SPAN. We transcribed sections of Biden’s speech below:
We do not have a Middle East foreign policy at this moment and to suggest that we are going to substitute an arms sales package for a policy in the name of trying to suggest that this is a litmus test once again. I've been here 14 years. I'm tired of being subjected to a litmus test by the Saudis. Litmus test by anyone else. We should operate and move in what is the naked self-interest of the United States of America. And if we wish to help the Saudis, what we should be doing for Saudi Arabia is helping them with their infrastructure as it relates to their domestic security requirements. [...] We should be dealing with their ability to protect their own internal security from within. [...] if we look at the Middle East, I think it's about time we stopped those of us who support—as most of us do—Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support for Israel. There's no apology to be made. None. It [Israel] is the best $3 billion [annual] investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.
This was not the only time Biden used such language to describe his blind support for Israel. In 2020, Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed a 1986 document detailing Biden's meeting with Israel's ambassador in Washington, D.C. In the meeting, Biden was thanked for supporting aid to Israel, to which Biden reportedly said, “That’s our best investment, where we get the biggest bang for our buck."
Last October 21, when Joe Biden met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet during his visit to Israel, the U.S. president assured them: "I don't believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist." In half a century of public life, Joe Biden has expressed unwavering, almost blind, support for Israel.
Biden, who is of Irish Catholic descent, has used similar words in the past to profess his affinity for Israel. But he faces the challenge of balancing unwavering support for Israel with persuading Zionist war criminal Netanyahu to avoid genocide in Gaza as well as complicating further
Some experts said that Biden's current wartime embrace of Netanyahu could afford him the leverage to try to moderate Netanyahu's disastrous assault on Gaza. But as recent weeks have shown, Netanyahu is now literally giving the middle finger to Biden as Israel’s terror organization – the IDF – prepares what may be the final assault against Gaza Palestinians, namely against the town of Rafah on the Egyptian border. “Final” because beyond Rafah, there is the Egyptian Sinai desert where it is increasingly evident that Israel’s Netanyahu is preparing to drive 2.3 million indigenous Palestinians out of their ancestral land, a repeat of 1948 when Israel was founded in a wave of foreign, mostly European, Jewish terrorism against the native people of Palestine: Killings, massacres, rapes, razing entire villages to the ground, expulsions and terrorizing the Palestinians into leaving their towns and villages to make way for foreign Jewish settlers. Have you ever wondered why places where Israelis live are called “settlements” whereas places where Palestinians live are called villages?
Biden's alignment with the Israeli terrorist leader risks alienating progressives in his Democratic Party as he seeks re-election in 2024, with a growing international outcry against Israel's tactics also casting some blame on the U.S. Biden’s current appearance to put pressure on Israel is less because he cares for Palestinian lives and rights, but more to try and salvage the dwindling support he still have within the Democratic Party.
Biden has partly credited his pro-Israel world view to his father, who insisted following World War Two and the Nazi Holocaust there was no doubt of the justness of establishing Israel as a Jewish homeland in 1948.
Entering national politics in 1973, Biden spent the next five decades forging his policy positions - iron-clad support for Israel's security coupled with backing for steps toward Palestinian statehood - as he served as U.S. senator, Barack Obama's vice president and finally president.
During his 36 years in the Senate, Biden was the chamber's biggest recipient in history of donations from pro-Israeli groups, taking in $4.2 million, according to the Open Secrets database. As vice president, Biden often mediated the testy relationship between Obama and Netanyahu.
Dennis Ross, a Middle East adviser during Obama's first term, recalled Biden intervening to prevent retribution against Netanyahu for a diplomatic snub during a 2010 visit. Obama, Ross said, had wanted to come down hard over Israel's announcement of a major expansion of housing for Jews in East Jerusalem, the mostly Arab half of the city captured in the 1967 war.
"Whenever things were getting out of hand with Israel, Biden was the bridge," said Ross, now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "His commitment to Israel was that strong ... And it's the instinct we're seeing now." Biden and Netanyahu now find themselves in an uneasy alliance that could be tested by an Israeli ground offensive.
While Republicans have shown near-unanimity in endorsing whatever action Israel takes, Biden faces dissent from a faction of progressives pushing for Israeli restraint and a ceasefire. "President Biden, not all America is with you on this one, and you need to wake up and understand," Representative Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, told supporters. "We are literally watching people commit genocide."
The crisis has also stirred criticism of Biden for not devoting enough attention to the plight of Palestinians, whose hopes for statehood have grown ever dimmer under Israeli occupation. U.S. officials had said the time was not right to resume long-suspended Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, largely because of intransigence on both sides. "The administration's neglect of the issue is a key factor in where we are today," Khaled Elgindy, a former Palestinian negotiations adviser, said. Biden's "blank check" for Israel's assault on Gaza has "shattered, perhaps irreversibly, what little credibility the U.S. had left," said Elgindy, now at the Middle East Institute in Washington.
The US has in all likelihood lost the “honest broker” position it long held in the Middle East, especially if it is seen by the region’s countries to have enabled a second “Nakba” (catastrophe): If Israel’s fundamentalist ultra-religious terrorist government has its way, it will displace Gaza’s population into the Sinai, the West Bank population into Jordan, and the Galilee Palestinians into Lebanon and Jordan, and thus create the “pure” Jewish state it says it wants. It also wants to demolish non-Jewish monuments such as the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and replace it with a Jewish temple in fulfillment of hallucinating primitive biblical prophecies, just like ISIS and Taliban demolished non-Muslim temples and ancient sites in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. The first Nakba was the creation of the artificial country of Israel in 1948 in which hordes of pseudo-Jewish populations from every far-flung corner of the world illegally converged on Palestine and decimated it.
