Israel:
 Vice-President Joe Biden speaks at the home of the Israeli President, Reuven Rivlin, earlier in this week in 2016. ILIA YEFIMOVICH / GETTY photograph"Democratic primary candidate says in video message that annexation plans and settlement activities ‘choking hopes for peace’; calls on Palestinians to end incitement, rocket fire. Joe Biden told the Israel lobby group AIPAC this week that it is “dangerous” for Israel to become “another issue that divides Democrats and Republicans.” But he warned that Israeli moves to build more settlements and annex occupied territories were threatening that divide by alienating young Americans."; Biden had moved on to the Palestinians. Yes, he acknowledged, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deserves criticism for proposing to annex parts of the West Bank. But he was “tired of everybody giving the Palestinian Authority a pass.”
Biden was a long-time member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. In 1997, he became the ranking minority member and chaired the committee in January 2001 and from June 2001 through 2003. When Democrats re-took control of the Senate following the 2006 elections, Biden again assumed the top spot on the committee in 2007. Biden was generally a liberal internationalist in foreign policy.
In October 2002, Biden voted in favor of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq, approving the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
In late 2019 he became embroiled in something in Ukraine with his son, Hunter. Trump was said to be needing to know what was happening. Biden's son was involved with Ukrainian business. It is suggested that Joe pushed for the removal of a Ukrainian prosecutor in order to help shield his son, who at the time was working for Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, from scrutiny.

Israel: Bernie is considering moving the embassy from Jeru-
salem back to Tel Aviv. He has not backed Israel in my opinion. He's against AIPAC. The front-runner is lending legitimacy to a movement that seeks to make AIPAC toxic within the Democratic Party.
On June 12, 2017, U.S. senators agreed to legislation imposing new sanctions on Russia and Iran. The bill was opposed only by Sanders and Republican Rand Paul. He supported the sanctions on Russia, but voted against the bill because he believed the sanctions could endanger the Iran nuclear deal. Therefore he was for the Iran nuclear deal. They now
have an abundance of uranium stockpiled.
In 2018, Sanders sponsored a bill and was joined by Senators Chris Murphy (D–CT) and Mike Lee (R–UT) to invoke the 1973 War Powers Resolution to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties[ and "millions more suffering from starvation and disease." After the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018 (which, according to multiple intelligence agencies, was ordered by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman), his bill attracted bipartisan co-sponsors and support, and the Senate passed it by a vote of 56–41. The bill passed the House in February 2019 by a 247-175 vote and President Trump vetoed it in March, saying, “This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future." Bernie's view of the Middle East is the
opposite of President Donald Trump.

Israel: Trump has supported the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on December 6, 2017, despite criticism and warnings from world leaders. He subsequently opened a new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem in May 2018. The United Nations General Assembly condemned the move, adopting a resolution that "calls upon all States to refrain from the establishment of diplomatic missions in the Holy City of Jerusalem". In March 2019, Trump reversed decades of U.S. policy by recognizing Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights, a move condemned by the European Union and the Arab League.
Summary: Sanders is the only one that is Jewish and is the most against Israel. Biden is not a friend for Israel. Trump, has proven in his first 4 years to be the best friend that Israel has had. We can thank his son in law, I believe, for that attitude.
