The Irony Of Biden's Support Of Israel!

The New York Post and Fox push outrage over Biden buying a book on Palestine.

The threats of Christian and Jewish supremacy in America. Extremism is on the rise with the return of President Donald J. Trump.

Y'all voted for this.

Zionism is a dangerous philosophy that equates Israel as the Holy Land. The religious right's most extreme view of the country sees it as the place of return for Jesus of the Nazareth. 

The New York Post, a far right tabloid that demonized Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Meghan the Duchess of Sussex and President Joe Biden is staunchly Zionist.

The Murdoch empire is a toxic dump. It spreads like a virus. They lost $787 million lying and it appears they have not learned their lesson.

So buying a book that criticizes Israel is antisemitic. So we can attack Muslims, Wiccan, Satanists, Buddhists, Hindu and other religions. Got it. 

If we criticize Christians, Catholics and Jews, we face criminal charges.

We can allow Christian prayer in schools, bibles in the classroom and mandatory laws based on religion. Got it.

On Friday, Biden was in Massachusetts. He was spotted with a book and it got the attention of Fox and the Post.

Biden picked up a copy of a book that described Israel as a colonial power in the face of Palestinian resistance despite his repeated support for the Jewish state. 

Biden was spotted by the press leaving Nantucket Bookworks holding a copy of "The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017" by Columbia University professor emeritus Rashid Khalidi, the New York Post reported. 

"I do not speak to the Post (or the Times for that matter), so this is not for publication, but my reaction is that this is four years too late," Khalidi told the Post of Biden holding his book. 
Rashid Khalidi.

The newspaper noted it did not agree to any terms conditioning Khalidi's response as off the record or on background.

The book argues that "the modern history of Palestine can best be understood in these terms: as a colonial war waged against the indigenous population, by a variety of parties, to force them to relinquish their homeland to another people against their will." 

It was not clear if Biden purchased the book or if it was given to him. 

Khalidi, who is of Palestinian and Lebanese descent, called the first Trump administration a "mouthpiece" for Israel and has criticized Israel over the humanitarian toll in Gaza after Hamas killed about 1,200 people inside Israel Oct. 7, 2023, in addition to kidnapping hostages, including Americans. 

"It’s perfectly unclear, reading the Israeli press, what their political objective is. I mean, ethnic cleansing. That’s not a political objective. They’re doing that. They’re driving the population of the Northern Gaza Strip into the Southern Gaza Strip. But what their political objective is, is, to me, entirely unclear, in the writings of, as far as one can tell, from the Israeli press," he said on the "Intercepted" podcast in November 2023.

Biden has repeatedly declared his support for Israel but has been criticized by Israeli supporters for putting conditions on U.S. aid to the Middle East ally and pausing shipments of heavy munitions to Israel earlier this year. 

Fox claims he did but in reality, Biden has not placed conditions on shipments.

Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian supporters, who nicknamed Biden "Genocide Joe," have increasingly criticized him and international criminal Benjamin Netanyahu over civilian casualties in Gaza. Biden has also reportedly criticized his Israeli counterpart behind closed doors, the Post reported. 

Biden and Trump are stuck on stupid.

The book, published in 2020 before Trump brokered relationships between Israel and five Muslim countries, criticized Trump for moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day war. 

Trump only stalled the Arab League from imposing an economic boycott on Israel with the Abraham Accords. The Arab League views Israel as an occupier of Western interests.

In the book, Khalidi wrote about Israel discriminatory policies against Palestinians.

"Settler-colonial confrontations with indigenous peoples have only ended in one of three ways: with the elimination of full subjugation of the native population, as in North America; with the defeat and expulsion of the colonizer, as in Algeria, which is extremely rare; or with the abandonment of colonial supremacy, in the context of compromise and reconciliation, as in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Ireland," he wrote.
