Pundits and reporters in the mainstream media have a double standard when it comes to Israel and all but lie about apartheid, Jewish nationalism, and the role of the Israel lobby.
We’ve reached the point where Everything that Joe Biden and his associates are saying about the Gaza war is a lie. Because they must deny a truth that is causing worldwide outrage against Israel.
Biden will meet Netanyahu at the
U.N. and do nothing to pressure his racist rightwing government because he needs megadonor Haim Saban for 2024 and Saban says, “I’m a one issue guy and my issue is Israel.”
In a recent interview billionaire and Democratic megadonor Haim Saban said that Bernie Sanders was a “self-hating Jew” and an “Israel-hater,” and defended his support for the lobbying group AIPAC.
Longtime Israel lobbyist Martin Indyk says Joe Biden’s rebuke of Benjamin Netanyahu last month will have dramatic consequences on the Israeli leader’s ability to influence US politics.
It’s O.K. in the Democratic Party to critique white supremacy in the U.S. but dare to bring up Jewish supremacy in Israel and cite apartheid reports and you will get railroaded as a supposed antisemite. Aided by megadonor Haim Saban, the Israel lobby group AIPAC has raised nearly $16 million in three months to take on Democratic candidates who might “undermine” the relationship with Israel.
Why does Biden exasperate the left by defending Israel’s strikes on apartment houses in Gaza? Because he is dependent on the Israel lobby for Democratic Party campaign support. As Pew’s latest survey shows, Jews care a lot about Israel, Jews are overwhelmingly Democrats, and Jews make more money than other Americans on average.
It’s clear that the Biden administration isn’t going to roll back a lot of Trump era policies in Israel/Palestine.
Bob Menendez is risking a war with Iran by opposing Biden on Iran deal. He owes as much to the right-wing Israel lobby, which saved his hide in 2015 when he opposed the deal, the Obama Justice Department indicted him for corruption, and Haim Saban and Seth Klarman supported his successful defense.
Angry that foreign policy isn’t in the last debate, Donald Trump believes his record, including Israel normalization deals and breaking the Iran deal, are a political asset. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris appear to agree, avoiding the topic entirely.
