ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA   Biden Visit ‘Despicable, Disastrous’ Flag-Waving Failure By Yehuda Levi (JULY 28, 2022 / Daily Wire) President Joe Biden’s trip to Israel earlier this month featured saccharine platitudes and rote pledges of friendship and fealty, but given that Biden was spurned by the Saudis, used by the Palestinians, left Israel worse than he found it, and apparently got COVID for his trouble, maybe he should’ve stayed home. After landing at Ben Gurion International Airport July 13, Biden was warmly greeted by Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who called the American president “​​a great Zionist and one of the best friends Israel has ever known.” Israeli President Isaac Herzog was equally effusive, calling Biden “a visionary and a leader,” “like the biblical Joseph.” Biden’s very words and deeds while in the Jewish State belied their charitable words, and it wasn’t just the shocking gaffe in which he referred to the “honor of the Holocaust,” or his failure to visit the iconic Western Wall. Biden smiled to our faces, then insulted us behind our backs. His limousine sported Israeli and American flags during visits to Yad Vashem and the Maccabiah games, but the Israeli banner vanished when he headed east Jerusalem to visit the Augusta Victoria Hospital on the Mount of Olives. The Palestinian flag waved from the hood of the presidential limousine when Biden went on to Bethlehem to meet with the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas. Biden stood mute while Abbas accused Israel of “apartheid” and demanded an end to 74 years of “occupation,” an unmistakable call for the end of Israel. Biden reiterated his support for a two-state solution, calling it “the best way to achieve an equal measure of security, prosperity, freedom, and democracy for the Palestinians as well as the Israelis.” “The Palestinian people deserve a state of their own,” Biden said before calling for a divided Jerusalem to be the capital of that state, breaking from the Trump administration’s recognition that Jerusalem is the undivided eternal capital of the Jewish people.   Read More   Share This Email In Case You Missed It...
