Once an obligatory offering from any new US administration, the Biden Administration’s vow of an “ironclad commitment” to Israel’s security is likely not such a pledge of loyalty as those in the past.
In moving beyond the simple promise of military support, the statement suggests potentially substantial changes to US policy from the administration that came before, in particular a promise to “work to promote regional integration and a two-state solution with the Palestinians.”
This too used to be de rigueur for US administrations, but over the past four years both Israel and the Trump administration repeatedly disavowed the two-state solution, and positioned the US as de facto committed to the occupation of Palestine and broad annexations thereof, as opposed to an equitable agreement.
Israel is likely watching the Biden commitments closely, as the Netanyahu government not only stepped away from the time-honored pretense of a two-state solution, but spent the past four years vilifying the Obama Administration as insufficiently committed to Israel.
Just in time for Israel to attack Iran and then run behind US lines
Bomb Tel; Aviv not Tehran. :Isra:HEL:L: Did 911, Epstein and :IS:IS :N;ot :Ira;n;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Israel did JFK too.
To be sure, they had help, other willing participants, but they have their greasy fingerprints all over it.
Did Israel cause your car keys to get lost under the couch cushion instead of being where you are absolutely sure you left them, too?
Of course not silly, they reserve their dark actions solely for their agenda of expansionism and global control.
“Global control”-get a rabies shot.
Oh come on!
I just got my Covid Vax, now I need a rabies shot too?
That I’m painfully aware of. Thats why I believe the JFK car has had a HUGE MANDELA EFFECT CHANGE going from 4 people in a four seater car to 6 in a SIX seater car now.
The only seat that mattered was the rear passenger seat.
Let me plug my ears and start screaming Russia Russia Russia Putins Puppet at the top of my lungs again!
This means Iran and the Palestinians are f*cked.
Indeed.
And so are we, unless we pull a Jesus and throw the bastards out.
Iran should get it you know where. Palestinians have amore nuanced case.
Biden was honest about one thing. Nothing would fundamentally change.
Because Israel, by way of the Mossad, have pedo-dirt on the candidates. They don’t get the opportunity to become elected unless Israel has the dirt, and allows their ascension.
So you really don’t believe them, that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide? And probably are still asking what has the FBI done with all the video tapes from Love Island, etc.?
Epstein committed suicide? That does not fit his personality profile. Suicided? Maybe.
And the incriminating video? Who knows, but you can be sure it goes to good use.
Cameras were turned off.
To save budget dollars on film? /s
‘Ironclad Commitment’ to Israel’s Defense
To insure Israel’s Ironclad contribution to my campaign
~ EveryJoe Pol
Israel has one of the most sophisticated military forces on earth, with a combination of their own high tech research, the theft of all US military secrets, and the billions in foreign aid from the chump US taxpayer.
And yet, they are not satisfied, they are never satisfied… They demand that America attacks Israel’s enemies for them, using our blood, our treasure.
Go to hell Israel.
The way to deal with neo-Nazi Israel and the BDS is to treat Israel with disdain and shun all those that support its crimes. Eventually this will force Israel to start obeying the law and return to its legally defined 1948 borders and stop killing Palestinians men women and children and thereby start acting less like a rogue criminal terrorist state that routinely commits war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and Apartheid in order to steal land and resources belonging to other countries.
What are the legally defined 1948 borders?
Here ya go.
And here ya go
And, there’s barely enough left to create a fifth panel for 2021
The Arabs rejected the UN partition plan, the Jews accepted it.-no do overs. As far as 1949 to 1967-Jerusalem should be shared if it would bring sincere peace. If Gaza and the West bank were under real Palestinian control-a somewhat fair idea-there would still be no peace, as both sides want it all.
You have to read the “agreements”. There are all kinds of poison pills that give Israel the opportunity to back out.
Noam Chomsky has written extensively about this.
Settlements are splitting the Palestinian areas from each other. Dividing. Slow starvation of land and water.
Look at the map on the left.
According to the map, almost all of Palestine was owned by Palestinians. Actually, about half the land was government land (first Ottoman & then Britain) & some land was owned by wealthy Arabs in surrounding countries & by Jews.
D’on’t get your point. My response to Huguenin was rather restrained.
You asked a question (“What are the legally defined 1948 borders?”). I provided the answer. What other “point” would there be to “get?”

ISRAEL & PALESTINE: THE MAPS TELL THE TRUE STORY The truth is that far from being the poor victim it likes to portray itself as, Israel is in fact the most aggressive and belligerent nation in the region, having invaded pretty much everyone it shares a border with.
The following maps show just who is wiping who off of the map!
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/mapstellstory.html
Virginia used to be much bigger,
but then it was partitioned into Virginia & West Virginia. No one has accused West Virginia of being aggressive and belligerent. No one has accused West Virginia of stealing.
Is one occupying the other? Do the citizens of West Virginia have more rights than the citizens of Virginia? Or vice versa? Are either the Virginians or West Virginians treated like second class citizens by the other?
On the contrary, when West Virginia seceded from Virginia there were four years of subsequent wars over its territory, and the issue of which state owed how much of the war debt assigned to “Virginia” afterward was contested for half a century.
Maps also tell the truth as to what the settlements are doing.
There are no legally defined borders.
Official borders are set by treaty.
There is no treaty between Israel & Palestine setting borders, so there are no official borders.
Interesting. So you’re saying Israel doesn’t exist?
To the extent that Israel’s existence is “legal” under international law, its borders were set in the 1948 UN partition resolution. As you point out, at no point since have any other borders been negotiated.
And, give Israel another $38 billion, plus forgiveness of the money owed for weapons “sold” to Israel (been happening since the days of Alan Cranston).
Israel has always fought its own battles.
How many American soldiers did we send to help Israel in the 1948 war? ZERO!
How many American soldiers did we send to help Israel in the 1956 war? ZERO!
How many American soldiers did we send to help Israel in the 1967 war? ZERO!
How many American soldiers did we send to help Israel in the 1973 war? ZERO!
…
We did send something in 1973 otherwise this discussion probably wouldn’t be taking place.
Who’s “we?” The only American military personnel I ever sent anywhere were me and people I was in direct command of.
1967 – USS Liberty an unarmed US Navy surveillance ship in international waters, surprise attacked by Israeli fighter jets and torpedo boats. 171 Americans wounded, 71 Americans murdered. A false flag attack in an attempt to sink an American ship and blame it on Egypt, thereby encouraging America to attack their then current enemy, Egypt, for them
2001 onward – Afghanistan – Over 2,200 Americans killed, 22,000 total casualties. Cui bono? Israel!
2003 onward – Iraq war – Over 4,500 Americans killed, 32,200 total casualties. Cui bono? Israel!
There’s more, lots more. We have basically been Israel’s bitch.
Yes, we never directly suit up and go to war for Israel, the American public would be outraged. We instead fight proxy wars for Israel, based on cooked-up lies fed to the public about “weapons of mass destruction” and other such hogwash
Never forget the motto of the Mossad;
“By way of deception shall we do war“
Israel has gobbled up Palestine, so there’s no Palestine left, shown here
Since 1967 Israel has offered the Palestinians the choice of Statehood numerous tines, why should they choose statehood when the UN, Arab States and the US are breast feeding them and their leaders every year with millions of $. If they become a State the gravy train is over.
Statehood for the Palestinian Arabs (as opposed to the Palestinian Jews, aka “Israelis”) is not the Israeli regime’s to “offer.” The state of Palestine exists, is recognized by the majority of UN states, by the UN as an observer state, and as a member state by Interpol and the International Criminal Court.
“It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region” — Grand Ayatola Khamenei, Jan 2001. Thousands of Iranian chant “Death to Israel!” “Death to Israel!” is printed on Iranian missiles. Soleimani boasted of helping Hezbollah in the 2006 war against Israel. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei offered to help anyone willing to attack Israel. That’s war mongering!
Israel wants good relations with Iran. Israel wants to buy Iranian oil & Israel wants to sell Israeli goods to Iran.
Ah yes, the old stand by that needs updating. So if Israel were to buy Iranian oil, should we expect them to be sanctioned?
That particular cut and paste job has reached the level of being pure spam noise. Write your own stuff or be shown the door.
There’s a strong political component in the US affinity for a Jewish state smaller than New Jersey with fewer people, versus the preponderant Muslim population in that Middle East area. This means the US has little true political influence in this area (as opposed to financial).
The recent political change by the US in Iraq has resulted in that country becoming Shii’ite Muslim, the first such country in eight centuries.
Biden, claiming to be a staunch Catholic, probably noticed that his Pope Francis had a recent sit-down visit with Iraq’s Ayatollah Sistani, in the holy city of Najaf. It’s a big deal. . . .from alJazeerah: . . .”Upon his return to Italy, the Catholic preacher revised the rule of the Franciscan order, which he had established, to encourage his devotees to live among Muslims peacefully and avoid conflict. This move was truly revolutionary given the fact that the Catholic church fully encouraged and supported the crusades.”.here. There was no visit to beloved-by-Biden Israel, but to Iraq here.
lets call it like it is, Israel is on offense not defense. So that makes us committed to the destruction and the elimination of the Palestinian people From their own homelands.
