Joe Biden – Israeli loyalist
JVL Introduction
Noel Lanard examines President Biden’s long record of unconditional support for Israel in this fascinating account published in Mother Jones.
A supporter of moving the American embassy to Jerusalem long before Trump, Biden is on record as having said recently “We’re not going to do a damn thing other than protect Israel. Not a single thing.”
Privately he is said to be furious with Netanyahu, and America is losing standing throughout the world, but there is barely a hint of any rift in public.
It is costing Biden politically but his gut support for Israel still seems to be ruling his decision-making.

How Joe Biden became America’s top Israel hawk
The president once said “Israel could get into a fistfight with this country and we’d still defend” it. That is now clearer than ever.

This article has managed to do what I did not think possible – i.e. increase my already monumental anger,contempt and hatred towards the nation that loves to portray itself as the leader of the ‘free world’. Why do so many in the western world fail to see it for the evil empire that it is? I don’t wish to sound like some mad mullah but satanic it truly is. What a sad loss is the recent death of John Pilger who was one of the few journalists not afraid to reveal the multitude of crimes committedd across the globe by leaders like Biden and almost every other US president.
Very well said. A good example of the arrogance and hegemony of the United States can be found in the American Service-Members Protection Act, which prohibits co-operation with the International Criminal Court and authorises the President of the United States to “use all means necessary”, i.e. military force, to attack the ICC in the Hague to free US personnel and those of “allied persons”, read Israel, held for alleged war crimes.

Roshan Peddar – absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. The prime task we have at the moment is to tackle US Imperialism and FORCE the USA to change. The US political system is a joke just as ours is – Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Beyond that Biden is a thick authoritarian Liberal and Trump a thick neo-fascist. Our media is TOTALLY dominated by propaganda. I listen to what passes for news these days ONLY to find out how they’re spinning it – I read the press from around the world and we should seek solace in this. ‘The West’ is losing. And an increasing number of people in the USA and the UK want to see US hegemony destroyed.
There is no doubt that when all the Israeli leaders and their military regime are up for genocide and war crimes at the Hague and the ICC, Biden will be amongst them as the chief enabler of this genocide, which due to its ferocity and unbelievable total destruction of Gaza and thousands of its civilians and infrastructure, of an extreme cruelty that can only creditably described as a holocaust. The leaders of the western world who also supported this holocaiust will also be liable, the UK as well.
Biden IS a Christian Zionist and works with Jewish Zionists to fulfil prophesied conditions that will pave the way for the Second Coming!
Thanks for those comments. A back-up read is ‘Killing Hope’ by William Blum. It details US’s behind the scenes actions in other countries affairs from 1945 – ’95. 57 countries, but Nicaragua took US to the ICJ. US owe recompense & still do I think ! One wonders why Blum has not had the same treatment as Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange or Edward Snowden. Could it be that Blum is not a whistle-blower? He is an independent lawyer who has done some research. If the CIA took him to court ??? Also consider what organisations were set up in the period 1945 – 1949, ie UN & NATO !
