President Biden claimed in an interview published on Monday that he has done more for the “Palestinian community” than anyone else, comments that come after over nine months of his administration supporting Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza.
“I’m the guy that did more for the Palestinian community than anybody,” he said on the YouTube show 360 With Speedy.
As an example of what he’s done for the “Palestinian community,” Biden said, ” I’m the guy that opened up all the assets, I’m the guy that made sure that I got the Egyptians to open the border to let goods and medicine and food through.”
However, Biden also backed the Israeli operation to capture the Rafah border crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border, and it’s been closed ever since.
Biden also appeared to suggest in the interview that he has only provided “defensive weapons” to Israel even though his administration has shipped tens of thousands of bombs and other types of munitions.
“I sent defensive weapons,” Biden claimed. “I denied them offensive weapons that they were using 2,000lb bombs and the rest because I made it real clear they cannot use weapons that we provide them to, in fact, use in civilian areas.”
The president appeared to be referring to his administration pausing a shipment of 500-pound and 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. However, the 500-pound bombs have been approved to be delivered despite Israel continuing to drop heavy munitions on civilians.
While the administration did pause a single shipment of 2,000-pound bombs, it shipped 14,000 of them to Israel before that. Israel is still using heavy munitions on civilians, as Israeli officials told Axios that the military dropped five 2,000-pound bombs on the al-Mawasi camp over the weekend in a strike that killed at least 90 Palestinians, including many women and children. Israel said the strike targeted Mohammed Deif, Hamas’s senior military commander, but Hamas denied the claim, saying it was an excuse to massacre civilians.
In the interview, Biden expressed strong support for Israel and the idea of Zionism. “Do you know what a Zionist is? If there weren’t an Israel, every Jew in the world would be at risk. There’s a need for it to be strong and a need for Israel to be able to have, after World War II, the ability for Jews to have a place that was their own. You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist,” he said.
Lily Greenberg Call, a Jewish-American who resigned from the Interior Department over Biden’s support for the slaughter in Gaza, criticized Biden for frequently claiming that without Israel, Jews wouldn’t be safe. “Jewish safety cannot — and will not — come at the expense of Palestinian freedom. Making Jews the face of the American war machine makes us less safe,” Call said in her resignation letter.
The eternal question: is (insert name) really that stupid or does he play that for ratings and votes?
I think his brain is turning into mush.
Good Chroist do I miss Bob Dole.
"Bob Dole is a man you can count on. Bob Dole wants to be your President. Bob Dole. BOB DOLE ! Bob Dole. bob dole…bob…zzzzzz."
No, he knows we're stupid.
Agreed. He knows that that big middle section of the bell-curve will believe him, because they have no time or energy to learn otherwise, no critical capacity, otherwise it were disturbing to their perfect suburban lives, ….
Agreed. Critical thinking is outlawed. It’s “cancelled.” …Wait!? …What is critical thinking? …Stupid me, I forgot.
Agreed. It used to merely dismissed as “conspiracy theory”.
He plays what his Zionist masters tell him to say & do which is death for the palistians….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both.
One side of my "motivation of political agent divination flipping quarter" says "Insane" while the other side says "Liar." It's 100% accurate 100% of the time going on 20 years now.
I hope things are good for you Pal. We miss you on alternativeuniversenet.
About the same, I guess. I hope you are doing well, Dread. I miss you folks, too. Here’s the last two paragraphs from today’s journal entry in response to Patrick Lawrence and Bibi’s insanity offense before Congress…
I’ve been asking as noted above whether labels of insanity are inappropriate because it really boils down to differences of opinion working backwards to justify themselves by distorting reality as humans seem more cognitively preoccupied with doing than nearly anything else from infancy to deathbed. We seem unable to tolerate being a fucking asshole in our own mind, seeing ourselves as constructing delusions to feel better at the expense of everyone we meet because we’re too fabulously insecure to tolerate the isolation and failure to measure up to what we believe we have to be to be loved and accepted. So we lie perpetually and it’s like a black hole at the center of our being that bends even light back into itself so that no one can trust us because no one can see us, black hole that we are. We’re discerned through examination and mapping of stars that aren’t there whenever we’re around; we’re defined by what’s most potently missing from what would otherwise present as health and vibrancy of mind, spirit and body. This is also similar to the medical model that cannot define health but in negative terms of not disease, not disorder, not pain, not malfunction.
The terror of statistically defined and widely accepted “normal” has destroyed much of the American spirit and quality of adventure and creative joy. We’re so preoccupied with being normal we cannot accept our own difference. It’s like a cognitive version of toxic shock syndrome wherein misinterpretation of new discovery within oneself leads to all out assault on oneself to extirpate the threat, to remove the impurity. Violence seems justified in these matters of existential purity. Projection is unavoidable. That’s one thing no one seems to ever get about anyone else or themselves. It’s not any sort of choice and stands, much like a protective vehicle intrusion barrier does in its audacity and obviousness when observed by anyone else, exactly as it’s supposed to, as if it were painted a day-glow lime green, orange and pink, like a tropical fish that’s poisonous, to keep other human beings away at all costs. Projective Identification couldn’t be more automatic and critically important to observe and to recognize as what it is. This is not an opinion or belief. It is not rational in any respect. It is our version of a starfish extruding its guts to digest another one of differing species. Projective Identification is dangerous and fucking deadly as hell. We should all understand how it works and why but we don’t. It’s the main reason we call each other “insane” for not agreeing with us.
""even though he's (Biden) shipped tens of thousands of heavy bombs""
what a freakin guy. just like all the other freakin guys.
The Palestinians need Biden as a "friend" like they need genocide. The jokes just write themselves, folks.
“I sent defensive weapons.” Both my math skills and philosophical views are basic. But since there was no thunder or lightening activities at that moment, I can prove for sure that there is no God.
"Whoa, somebody set this 2,000 lb bomb to 'Offense'. There's yer problem right there."
🤣😂
“I’m the guy that did more for the Palestinian community than anybody.” He was telling the truth, except Netanyahu probably did more. …LOL. wut …You thought he was talking about doing more "good?" …When did he ever do good?
That's a great article to use as an example for how Politicians can be so evil. I know. It's not for everybody, but it should be a required reading for all aspiring genocidal politicians. It's a master class.
I used to think the DC only offers Lie School… Now, It appears it also offers Evil School for those who want to be one… He is the graduate of both schools…!

Screenwriter and field expert Robert McKee, in his legendary nonfiction treatise "Story", spoke of creating compelling antagonists.
At the lowest level are villains who do evil but don't have reason to. Better yet are villains who have well-reasoned purpose behind their evil deeds.
The best, most compelling, and most insidious villains ? The ones who do evil things but GENUINELY BELIEVE they are doing it for legitimately Good reasons.
I think most politicians causing harm, are of that last group.
No, I think they know it is evil, but do it anyway for the money/votes. Anything for power.
That could be worse than being psychopaths.
On behalf of "The Palestinian Community," please do less for them. Have mercy.
“Do you know what a Zionist is?" …Let me think. I am thinking… Wait!? …Is it Joe Biden? …Yes!? Wow! I surprised myself because this is the guy who "has done more for the 'Palestinian community' than anyone else."
Biden is LYING, just like the majority of our Politicians who preach they want "Freedom" for all people. Biden provided the weapons to slaughter Palestinians, Biden pretended to build a pier to deliver aide, Biden refuses to act like an American, respect the Rule of Law and abide by our Constitution. But it is NOT just Biden, it is Trump and Congress. Humans are dying, children having their heads blown off, food deprivation, water deprivation, horror every day for defenseless people and you are helping them? Stay out of the ME, STOP sending weapons to the Terrorist State of Israel. Do NOT vote for Reps/Dems condoning, supporting the Genocide of Palestinians.
I agree with you 100 % I will be voting 3rd party ever since I voted Obama for his first term But his policies had killed to many kids for me to vote for him a second time & term. His appoint of Serial Killer Hillary as secretary of state brought Victoria Nuland to power as the instigator of the Ukraine war that is inflating our money and risking nuclear war with RUSSIA & CHINA and a possible end to good life as we've known it!!!!!
Dave, this is possibly one of your best articles. …I know Biden made it easy, but please accept my compliment.
What a lying sack of $hit. What the scumbag did was to send the GENOCIDE ENTITY 14,000 TWO THOUSAND POUND BOMBS TO RAIN DOWN ON THE MOSTLY WOMEN& CHILDREN OF GAZA , KILLING AT LEAST 37,000 and the Lancet says up to 186,000 before the JEWISH STATE IS FINISHED. If the JEWISH STATE WANTS TO END ANTISEMITISM, perhaps they should STOP THEIR GENOCIDE OF MOSTLY WOMEN & KIDS IN GAZA……??????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course he is lying, and why not? Whatever nasty thing he may do, he always may rely upon understanding and support of a good part of Americans, including "antiwar" commentators. Their argument is: Putin is not better, he is doing the same and even worse. They have zero evidences that Putin is doing the same but they need no evidences. So we are observing an escalation of idiotism which is dominating in U.S. society.
Don't be so sure that Americans support this Genocide!
Many, or maybe most, of those who support Zionism do agree with this genocide too. Not only Americans. There are a lot of such people in Europe, in India, and also in Russia. In Russia they are obvious minority but they exist, and they are quite an influential force. In Israel itself they are majority.
Some do… Too many.
Thats the Trump card!
Never ever ever overplayed
He meant to say, "He’s Done More for the ‘Zionist Community’ Than Anyone Else"…!
“I sent defensive weapons,” Biden claimed.
He said the same shit about what he was sending to Saudi Arabia. There is no such thing as defensive weapons. They blow the limbs off of children the same way as "offensive" weapons. All weapons are OFFENSIVE. Biden's words are really OFFENSIVE.
Two thousand pound bombs are only defensive when they kill military invaders. Not the native population
Biden the man is very offensive, an inveterate liar & con. But I think "Finish The Job" Trump would be just as bad or worse !!!!!!!! Our leaders have sold their souls to Zionists along with our country!!! There is a reconing needed & hopefully coming. We have lost our goodness & our reputation in the world by so many bad acts that we will never recover fully until we abandon the neocon lust for "Full Spectrum Dominance". Also known as hegemony, Wanting to control every country on this planet by force of arms and financial intimidation & manipulation. Not a way to have friendly relations among nations but a way to make scads of enemies & adversaries. Who of the fair minded of our world, will want to do business with the nation that sends 2000 pound bombs to kill the women& children of Gaza in an intentional genocide like the Nazis did to the Jews in the 30s & early 40s…?????!!!!
This from Caitlin Johnstone sums it up: https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2024/07/16/two-americans-walking-down-the-street-and-talking-about-politics/
”Actions always speak louder than words…”
He has killed a lot more of them than anyone else has, ever. So complicity in the genocide of them is "doing more for them?" I suppose it "helps them to Heaven, for God to sort out."
It is true, but shipping bombs to Israel and band-aids to Palestine just doesn't cut it.
Palestinians don't even get Band-aids from Biden
What a piece of trash. Words fail.
If Biden's mental state wasn't already in question, his statements here kinda confirm everything.
The Israelis are bombing civilian targets only, there are no other targets. They have used cluster bombs and white phosphor and the IDF are mainly fighting and killing unarmed civilians. But Biden is demented enough to not know what he says regardless of what he must know, at least when he has lucid moments he knows.
Why does anyone care what this demented old scumbag has to say? He's about as relevant as Zelensky now – which is to say, not at all. The neocons and the people behind them are running this country and always have. The President is just a front man and a collaborator.
Dementia is a sad thing. It makes patients say demented things. But I don't know of anything any more demented as actually being a genocidal warcriminal. That's what Biden is. One of the most repugnant individuals alive today. And not for lack of some seriously stiff competition from within his own administration. What a monstrosity of an adminstration that was.
Theyre just dropping those "defensive weapons" on schools, refugee camps, and hospitals… areas the IDF deem "safe," until they change their mind and blow people up …limbs flying everywhere, grandparents buried alive under rubble, children crawling on the ground with their legs torn off…
No, Joseph, you've done more TO the Palestinian people.
Big difference. And not one to brag about.
To be fair, Biden has done a lot for the Palestinians- and lately those in Gaza specifically- and for that we should take note. However, he hasn't come close to helping the Palestinians nearly as much as Hitler helped the Jews of Europe in the 30's and 40's. Biden is off to a good start, though; he just needs to crack down on Netanyahu and his troops to do more good- and do more good harder- in Gaza and the West Bank. I'm sure the Israeli military is aware the world is watching how the 'most moral army in the world' operates; they just need to speed up the delivery of all the support that Biden provides for the Palestinians.
Exactly. With good like that, who needs evil?
So many delusional people in politics.
Biden has done more to the Palestinians than any other POTUS. Netanyahu has done more to the Palestinians than any other Israeli PM with help from Biden. Trump will do even more to the Palestinians once he gets back in the White House and Netanyahu will do even more with help from Trump.
Biden sends Israel 2,000 lb bombs and other weapons to continue its slaughter of Gaza.
Biden lies about Gaza as he lied about Libya, Syria, Iran and Iraq. He lies just like Netanyahu, George Warmonger Bush and Tony Blair Witch Project.
They have enough blood on their hands for vampires and werewolves to drink if they existed.
What drove his half baked brain to say such a thing? Oh, his half baked brain! Did he think any Palestinian would vote for him? And did you catch this "subtle" remark that frankly incriminates the entire West, especially the US. “… If there weren’t an Israel, every Jew in the world would be at risk. There’s a need for it to be strong and a need for Israel to be able to have, after World War II, the ability for Jews to have a place that was their own… ”
This is the racist western mentality; that Jews can't be safe amongst us in the West (even here in the US) unless they have their own state which they stole from the indigenous population so we can fund them with money and weapons for ever to destabilize the region.
There will never be peace as long as there are Israeli-Zionists. Even then it will be many decades and generations to heal the wounds of the Palestinian people.
I caught that too. So Biden thinks "go back where you came from" is progressive human society, that segregation actually DOES protect both sides the way the likes of the KKK used to (or maybe still do) espouse ?
This Israeli genocide of mostly Muslims further endangers every admitted Jew on the planet. Israel is comitting suicide by genocide just like the Nazis did!!!!!
Biden also did more to flood the US with millions of illegal aliens and push inflation through the roof than anyone.
So … with Israel as the base, the influence goes out across the world? Thanks for clarifying that.
200,000 dead Palestinians would disagree.
Someone needs to tell Biden that the Palestinians do not want to be killed by his American Bombs, but they want to live. So sending 2,000 pound bombs to Israel to kill them is no favor, but a capital crime. And if & when the Israelis start killing more Christians & Palestinian Lebanese while making common cause with Ukraine's Zionist president there & their Nazi "Useful Idiots" there will be a time Germany likely gets sucked into the frey & Russia will give them a "Do or die ultimatum" with a thermonuclear trigger! It may not be around the corner, but the way this hot GENOCIDE's Going does not bode well for German Russian comity, & is easy to see Sholtz blunder into turning on them & seeing their NATO provocations & indifference to the Nazi thread of Russophobia as an existential threat and intolerable provocation too dangerous allow to fester into some dangerous acts or action.
They're recycling material – Kirby threw that barf bag at the wall way back.
"[Israel] told Axios that the military dropped five 2,000-pound bombs on the al-Mawasi camp over the weekend in a strike that killed at least 90 Palestinians, including many women and children."
US Sec of State hits back at Axios report at press conference:
Kirby: I read that report – not one word of praise for Israel not hitting a single World Central Kitchen worker in a weekend of heavy strikes?
Maybe Axios should just title it's next report, 'Let's kill all the Jws.'
Next question.
