The former Democratic leader, Barack Obama, said that while 70 percent of American Jews gave him their vote, there were some concerns among members of the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) lobby, which feared that he did not feel his outward support for the Jewish state in his “guts”.
It was showing more than in his guts. They were just being nice. It was in many of his programs concerning Israel. AIPAC stands for Americans and Israelis Public Affairs Committee, and members are active members of their Jewish community.
****Obama asserted Israel's move back to the 67 lines of importance to him. It was impossible for Israel to do. Netanyahu and Obama never did see eye to eye.
****By abstaining — instead of vetoing the resolution, as the United States has reliably done to similar measures for decades — the Obama administration allowed the highly symbolic measure to make it through the chamber. President Barack Obama had decided to go out with a bang: In a stunning diplomatic rebuke of Israel, the United States on Friday abstained on a controversial United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory, allowing it to pass easily.
Palestinians in Chicago-by Chicago Sun Times--Demonstrators gathered at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Ida B. Wells Drive on Wednesday afternoon chanting “Free Palestine.” May 12, 2021 Now we have the SQUAD.
Before his meteoric rise to the presidency, Obama had developed an intimacy with the Palestinian-American community, and an empathy with its narrative, that few politicians achieve. As an Illinois state senator with many Palestinian-American constituents, he often attended community events at which he “was forthright in his criticism of U.S. policy and his call for an evenhanded approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” according to Electronic Intifada ****founder Ali Abunimah’s firsthand account. (He had chosen the Palestinians to back before becoming President.)
****On becoming president, he went to Egypt and made his Cairo Speech on June 4, 2009. He insisted that the Muslim Brotherhood sit in the front row. They had been jailed, breaking Egyptian laws. Muslim Brotherhood was against Israel, of course.
AIPAC, The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, is a lobbying group found in 1963 that advocates pro-Israel policies to the legislative and executive branches of the United States. They are defenders of Israel. They have been in competition lately with the newer group, J Street, run by Jeremy Ben Ami, Jeremy Ben-Ami: one of Washington's upcoming 500.
Ben-Ami pressed for a quick resolution to the outburst of violence between Israel and Palestine last May, while reiterating support for a two-state solution.J Street
PresidentJeremy Ben Ami, head of J Street, helped by George Soros. -
Liberal Jewish lobby group J Street has received sizable donations from multi-billionaire George Soros, the Washington
Times reported Friday. The American financier has in the past criticized J Street's rival, AIPAC, for being too hawkish.
J Street, those whose stated aim is to promote American leadership to end the Arab–Israeli and Israeli–Palestinian conflicts peacefully and diplomatically. J Street was incorporated on November 29, 2007. They spend most of their time criticizing Israel, though their propaganda says otherwise.
Obama would go for this group. Ben-Ami was President Bill Clinton's Deputy Domestic Policy Adviser, and later Policy Director on Howard Dean's presidential campaign. They're hyper-critical of everything Israel does acting as if only they know better-directing while on their American couches.. Their expectations show me that they know nothing of Israel's or even our Jewish history, or even very little of our religion.
So Israel has many forces that are trying to tear them apart. Israelis are all brilliant, every man a king in his own home, and that's how we like it, but when it comes to politics, there are a lot of parties. Coming from so many locals, they are individuals in their thinking, not followers. That's one sphere of problems. Then there are the Palestinians who swore at the end of the 1967 Six Day War in Kartoum, Africa, at their big confab meeting, that they would never give into the Jews and accept them in their 3 famous No No Nos.
Youssef al-Qaradhawi, broadcasting hatred for Israel, based in Qatar but from Egypt. He has written about the dangers of Muslim extremism, but on the other hand, Al-Qaradawi himself has advocated extremism and anti-semitism, denouncing Jews for their "corruption" and describing Adolf Hitler as having put Jews "in their place", and advocates killing Jews, while others believe Al-Qaradawi is merely "not afraid to state firmly that 'Palestinian martyr operations are a weapon of the weak.'" Qaradhawi is the darling of Qatar's Emir. Qatar's Museum of Islamic ArtThey have been attacking Israelis in every way they can think of, using directly with rockets, mortars and missiles, but with forest fires and such, too, underground tunnels, etc. Then we have the realistic enemies who haven't given up, Iran, who has sworn all along to wipe out Israel, and they do it by putting their soldiers closer to Israel in Israel's neighbor states. Israel's surrounded by this Iranian=led warring band. Iran, meanwhile, is creating a rocket to use from Iran that will fly to Israel holding a nuclear warhead. You can count on Iran. They are hateful; telling Israel how much they are hated all the time through several Ayatolahs. Economically, there's been BDS trying to keep everyone from doing business with Israel, buying from Israel, etc.
The 46th President of the United States has Irish roots that stem from two different families: the Blewitts of Co Mayo and the Finnegans from Co Louth. He's a real Irishman.
Joe Biden, who just came down with a mild case of COVID 19 this morning at age 79, was born in Pennsylvania on November 20, 1942 then went into Democrat politics by 1969 , then in politics in Delaware as Senator from 1973 to 2009, and from 2009 to 2017 was Vice President under Obama, and was president by last year in 2021.
Biden’s Talks With Israeli Leader Highlight a Split Over Iran
It looks as if Biden and Israel are not seeing eye to eye on Iran's nuclear developments. After a meeting in Jerusalem, Israel’s caretaker prime minister, Yair Lapid, said nations must promise to act if the Iranians “continue to develop their nuclear program,” pushing for President Biden to go beyond his declared position.
- Iran Nuclear Deal: President Biden’s push for the 2015 deal’s revival during his visit to Israel underscored divisions among Israeli security officials over the issue as well as between the USA and Israel. Iranian twins in the 40s, the king Reza Shah and his sister
- New York Times feels that Israel's security wants a deal. The problem with any deal is that the last deal turned out to be a stall and a lie. Israel's security surely know that.
Israel cannot trust anything that Iran's Ayatollas say. They aren't like the old regime, the king Mohammad Reza Shah , who got along with Israel.
Journalist and TV anchor Wolf Blitzer has described Biden as loquacious. He often deviates from prepared remarks and sometimes "puts his foot in his mouth." The New York Times wrote that Biden's "weak filters make him capable of blurting out pretty much anything." In 2018, Biden called himself "a gaffe machine". Some of his gaffes have been characterized as racially insensitive.
Where we all thought he was going to be president for one
term, we see he now wants another.
Biden continues to call for a ‘lasting negotiated peace’ between Israel and the Palestinians.
Golda in 1969- Biden was greatly impressed by Golda Meir, and her answer of "We have nowhere to go has remained with him," but seems to remain unaffected towards Israel continued problems with them. Golda served as the fourth prime minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974. She was the first woman to become head of government in Israel. Biden had In 1968, earned a Juris Doctor degree from the university's College of Law, ranked him 76th in his class of 85 students. He was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969 and practiced as a lawyer before running for political office.
Through it all, Israel is unperturbed. They have continued to achieve their goals of mending the world, doing good deeds to their fellow man, turning their civilians into an army ready at the moment, defending their homes and country, and not forgetting their roots. They're on a mission and will accomplish it. They have re-made their home to fit today's world, a protected reservation for the Jewish people who have been under anti-Semitism since their inception-attacked by the Amaleks-Amalek (/ˈæməlɛk/; Hebrew: עֲמָלֵק, 'Ămālēq, Arabic: عماليق 'Amālīq) was a nation described in the Hebrew Bible as a staunch enemy of the Israelites. The name "Amalek" can refer to the nation's founder, a grandson of Esau; his descendants, the
