ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA     Biden’s Israelophobic Actions Show Sinister Intent, Not Election Concerns: ZOA’s Mort Klein’s Israel Hayom Op-Ed What explains President Joe Biden's anti-Israel actions since Oct. 7? Painfully, the facts require that we recognize that it's Biden's longstanding animus toward the Jewish State. By Morton A. Klein (May 21, 2024 / Israel Hayom) I'm often asked the following: "What explains President Joe Biden's anti-Israel actions since Oct. 7?"; "Why is Biden stopping arms and ammunition shipments to Israel in the midst of a war to protect Israel's existence, and withholding intelligence about Hamas leaders and tunnels' location?"; "Why is he enabling passage of anti-Israel UN Security Council resolutions?"; "Why is he falsely accusing Israel of "indiscriminate" bombing, sanctioning innocent Israeli citizens, and threatening to sanction moral Israeli soldiers?"; "Why is Biden having his aide Blinken proclaim Israel is becoming "indistinguishable from Hamas," and facilitating Iran receiving $26 Billion and enriching Iran with tens of billions of dollars of sanctions waivers, when Iran is funding and arming its proxies attacking Israel – and itself launched 350 deadly missiles at Israel?"; "Why is Biden pressuring Israel to reward pro-Hamas Palestinians with a terrorist dictatorship state?"; "Why did Biden's Secretary of State demand that Israel "Get out of Gaza!" And "don't retaliate" when Hamas committed a massacre and is still holding innocent American and Israeli hostages, and when destroying Hamas' terrorist regime is essential for Israel's survival?" Analysts always answer that Biden is worried about Arab voters in Michigan and other swing states. But that answer is wrong. Biden has been hostile to Israel since day one of his administration before Michigan was a twinkle in his eye. Moreover, Biden stands to lose more Jewish and pro-Israel votes than he gains from anti-Israel communities, as 80% of Americans support Israel over Hamas. I thus believe that the real reason for Biden's anti-Israel policies is Biden's longstanding and sinister hostility to Israel. In 1982, then-Senator Biden banged his fists on the table and infamously threatened then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to withhold US funds if Jews continued living in the lawful Jewish communities of Judea/Samaria. I met with then-Senator Biden and his staff many times during the past 30 years. They were always extraordinarily hostile toward Israel. Former hostile-to-Israel President Barack Obama, who listened to his beloved Reverend Wright spewing anti-Israel hatred for two decades and was close friends with Louis Farrakhan would never have chosen Biden as his running mate if Biden was pro-Israel. As Vice President, Biden excoriated Israel for approving building homes for Jews in Jerusalem; boycotted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 2015 speech to Congress – contravening the vice presidential role of sitting behind visiting heads of state speaking to Congress, and promoted the dangerous Iran deal. During Trump's presidency, Biden objected to Trump moving the US Embassy to Israel's 3,000-year-old capital Jerusalem without placing "conditions" on Israel and getting Israel to make "important concessions" towards a Palestinian (terror) state. All this occurred long before he was thinking of the 2024 election.   CONTINUE READING     Share This Email Share This Email   DONATE     Copyright © Zionist Organization of America 2024, All rights reserved.
