AIPAC: We like Biden

Thumbs up for Biden from an AIPAC spokesman:

Sen Biden is a strong supporter of the US-Israel relationship and he has longstanding ties to AIPAC and the pro-Israel community.

Throughout his career in the Senate, Joe Biden has been to Israel numerous times and has gotten to know many of Israel's most important leaders.

Now, to be clear, AIPAC also has had warm words for Barack Obama and John McCain. So don't confuse this with an endorsement. After all, these guys aren't stupid – they don't need to be making enemies with the future president and vice president, no matter who they are.

But, that said, Biden does have a long record of working with AIPAC and Israel. And even one of the founders of Freedom's Watch had nice things to say.

This is why many Florida Democrats are going Nader.

When your own grandmother, pastor, close friends, ideals and beliefs have been denied and betrayed, can a country that is some consider a great burden on your foreign policy be far behind?

Will the Democrat party strive to save Israel from an lethal existential attack by its enemies, if this whimsical, feckless, callow, Democrat boy wins (heaven forfend!) the Presidency?!

Another pol who wont stand up to AIPAC even when it’s in the national interest to do so.  When do we get a president who recognizes that Israel is a strategic burden on our country?

Nothing surprising here. With America now an occupied nation, being owned and controlled in toto by the zionist Israeli’s, no one stands a chance of getting elected unless they are willing to drop America’s pants and grab the vaseline when they see an Israeli coming. We are in desperate need of another revolution.

Like many Australians I am disgusted by US politicians’ rush to endorse the racist and colonialist policies of Israel.  Naked self interest and greed for power for all the world to see.

Oh give it a break. I’m so sick of the attempt to single out and demonize AIPAC or anything pro-Israel, I’m sick of the haters who promote it and just as sick of the people who buy into it. Its sad and pathetic. People need to pull their heads out of their you know where and stop being so damn ignorant.

Anti Semitism is a highly infectious disease.

It’s transmitted from a geschnitten Schwanz.

Erich: “Anti Semitism is a highly infectious disease.”
That is why Israel keeps batches of it in its MOSSAD labs because zionism would not survive without it or at least its ghost.

Ariadna, Israel and Zionism would not exist without millions and millions of Israeli’s, human beings just like you, getting up, putting on their pants (or dresses) one leg after another, and then going off to work and study to create a wealth and a national heritage.

Get a grip.
