Joe Biden has bent over backwards to tell the Jewish community he can work with Netanyahu and won’t sanction Israel if it annexes West Bank lands. He cannot afford to alienate the largest source of Democratic campaign funding, from pro-Israel Jews, a source Trump is making a play for.

Sarah Lazare and Branko Marcetic discuss Joe Biden’s track record on Israel and Palestine, his insufficient response to Trump’s Iran sanctions, and what his potential administration’s foreign policy might look like.

Britain’s colonial entanglement in Palestine did not begin with the entry of General Allenby into Jerusalem, nor with the Balfour Declaration. Its roots go back to the era of high imperialism in the mid-nineteenth century.

In order to legitimise the Jews’ right to Palestine, Zionism sought to delegitimise the Palestinian existence in the land.

The latest Israeli military order allows forces to seize funds in Palestinian banks. The political motivation behind this “legal” hogwash is the Israeli desire to punish the Palestinian leadership for refusing to stop making welfare payments to those Palestinians who were, or continue to be, detained in Israeli prisons—political prisoners,—in addition to welfare payments made to families of martyrs. It is important to note that nearly one million Palestinians have gone through the Israeli prison system since the start of Israeli military occupation in 1967.
