So…Is It Ignorance Or Animus? by Gerald A. Honigman
Democrats had their latest debate to see who will oppose President Trump in 2020 on December 19th. Questions regarding the Trump Administration’s new policies regarding the Middle East came up–the Settlement Issue in particular. Among others, Senator Bernie Sanders and ex-VP Joe Biden offered alleged words of wisdom. Here’s some excerpts:
“Former vice president Joe Biden said that President Trump is ‘no longer being an honest broker in Israel,’ and called promote the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. ‘There’s no solution for Israel other than the two-state solution…It’s not possible to have a Jewish state…without there being a two-state solution. ‘Bibi Netanyahu and I know one another well. He knows that I think what he’s doing is outrageous. What we do is we have to put pressure constantly on the Israelis to move to a two-state solution.” https://www.jpost.com/American-Politics/Sanders-We-must-be-pro-Palestinian-as-well-611549
At one time, to his credit, Senator Biden used to also talk about justice for another people—almost 40 million truly stateless Kurds, in particular. For a variety of reasons, he’s dropped that like a hot potato.
As he stated, Joe knows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu well–along with Bibi’s earlier Likud predecessor, the late prime minister, Israeli War of Independence freedom fighter for Zion Reborn…Menachem Begin. See how that relationship went in these next excerpts:
“Unfortunately, if the past is any indication of what can be expected from the man who would oppose President Trump in 2020, Biden–when it’s not milk the Hebrew time, will not be much better than the Jihadis’ new American Democrat Congressional Representatives, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and their various other Left of Lenin dhimmi pals…
Not convinced yet? I hate bullies…don’t you?
In well-documented reports, in addition to being one of Obama’s attack dogs, Biden used similar strongarm tactics with Israel’s late Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, back in 1982–banging on the table with his fists to try to intimidate the Holocaust surviving, Jewish freedom fighter into relinquishing his resurrected nation’s barest security needs to American State Department, oil-tainted ‘no friends, just interests’ policies…the same ones still shafting Kurds to this very day.
Again, I know Joe has called himself ‘pro-Israel,’ especially during Hebrew-milking season.
But I never expected, as an American senator or vice president, that Biden would be ‘pro-Israel.’ America should be as objective as possible and strive for good relations with all nations.
I just don’t want various Joes to unfairly place the sole, minuscule, State of the Jews in a vise because it refuses to accept all that they want to shove down its throat on behalf of Arabs and others who would have it dead in a heartbeat if they could. And a forced return by Israel to the suicidal ’49 armistice lines–what the partial annexation and settlement issues are largely all about–that Biden has demanded would be a step in that direction…
Has Biden ever banged a table or threatened Arabs over their far worse murderous, rejectionist attitudes and intransigence?” https://ekurd.net/biden-jihadi-cheer-leaders-2019-03-06
Unfortunately, these aren’t simply aberrations anymore. The era of true Liberal Democrats–like Henry “Scoop” Jackson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan–is long gone. It’s been hijacked by an intolerant, “Progressive” Left which diverts attention from its own self-centered agenda and duplicity by pointing fingers elsewhere.
Let’s turn the clock back to see some of what I mean.
Since the part of the debate being reviewed is about American policy in the Middle East, let’s stick with similar subject matter which Democrats were lecturing millions about on December19th…
Back on September 23, 2010, President Obama spoke before the United Nations and spent a good amount of time focusing upon the Arab-Israel situation:
“Peace must be made by Israelis and Palestinians…Those who are friends of Israel must understand that true security for the Jewish state requires an independent Palestine–one that allows the Palestinian people to live with dignity and opportunity. And those who are friends of the Palestinians must understand that the rights of the Palestinian people will be won only through peaceful means — including genuine reconciliation with a secure Israel.”
At first glance, sounds reasonable, right ? But look more closely…
“…true security for the Jewish state requires an independent Palestine — one that allows the Palestinian people to live with dignity and opportunity.”
While I also see nothing theoretically wrong with that either, did/do President Obama, the UN, Biden, Sanders, Buttigieg, Warren, and so forth lecture Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and other nations in North Africa–lands which Arabs refer to as theirs and theirs only –that “security” for Arabs there requires that Arabs also grant dignity and opportunity to some 35 million of North Africa’s truly stateless native people, the Amazigh and Kabyle–those whom outsiders often call “Berbers”…the people who resisted the Caliphal imperialist, Jihadi, colonizing Arab/Arabizing invasions for centuries?
Dignity ?
The Imazighen have not even been allowed to practice their own culture, nor speak their own language. Increasingly, they’ve been told they can’t even name their children with their own names, but must use Arab/Islamic ones instead. Those who protest these basic human rights—let alone political ones–are jailed, murdered, and so forth.
Who protests these issues? When will Democrats lecture Arabs and debate these matters–or the plight of scores of millions of other non-Arab folks…Copts; murdered, displaced, enslaved black African Sudanese; Kurds; Assyrians; native “kilab yahud” (those whom Arabs call “their” Jew dogs); and others as well?
From time to time, such subjects were somewhat discussed but were quickly shoved onto back burners. Only the Arabs’ cause remains persistent…and only in the Mandate of Palestine. Forget about the hypocritical Iranian mullahs’ own and really suppressed 8 million Arabs in the western, oil-rich Khuzestan/ “Arabistan” province–over which the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s was largely fought over. Has the plight of the Ahwazi Arabs ever been debated in the General Assembly or Security Council? https://ekurd.net/viva-arabistan-2018-01-03
Who warns Arabs that for them to have security, they must first also grant political, cultural, and basic human rights to those tens of millions of North Africa’s true Amazigh natives, almost 40 million native Kurds…and independence, too, if desired?
The creation of the proposed second, not first, Arab state that Democrats demand in the original 1920 post-World War I Mandate of Palestine (Jordan was created in 1922 on almost 80% of the land) will require yet another partition of that original Mandate.
Arabs, indeed, already had another proposed partition of the remaining 20% of the land in 1947. That would have awarded almost 90%of the original total to Arab nationalism–in another of its many subspecies.
