Senator Joe “Zionist” Biden Says Get Over It Israel

Haaretz.com quotes Biden on Israel and Iran.

Basically Biden told Israel they will have “to get over” it, Iran is going to have a nuclear potential if Obama is the president. Biden believes that economic sanctions won’t work…..either!

Here’s more from Haaretz.com:

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden was quoted Monday as telling senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran.

In the unsourced report, Army Radio also quoted Biden as saying that he opposed “opening a additional military and diplomatic front.”

Biden, chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has long been considered strongly pro-Israel. His nomination as Barack Obama’s running mate had been expected to shore up the Democrats’ strength with U.S. Jewish voters.

Army Radio said Israeli officials expressed “amazement” over the remarks attributed to him.

Biden was supposed to give Obama the boost with the American Jewish community, Mr. “Foreign Relations” Biden really stepped in the poop this time. This is not what Israel wanted to hear I am certain.

“Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,” Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the unnamed officials.

“It’s doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front.”

Hot Air was very helpful. They have given us a history on Haaretz, (Note: It isn’t a conservative news reporting agency, they have nothing to lose!)

For those unfamiliar with Ha’aretz, it doesn’t exactly have a knee-jerk conservative spin. In fact, it’s at best a center-left editorial board. They’re not terribly sympathetic to the Bush administration or most of its policies. They wouldn’t have much reason to simply make this up.

Hot Air does an excellent job analyzing an America and its foreign relations policy under an Obama presidency……

If anyone doubted that an Obama presidency would surrender to radicalism and hostile forces abroad, this should clinch it. Biden has pretty much told the Israelis that they’re on their own, and America won’t bother to support them against the nutcases in the region. If Obama and Biden don’t have the courage to face Iran’s nuclear ambitions, then exactly when will they defend American interests?

And what of our Western allies? Europe wants Iranian nukes stopped just as much as we do, especially since they’re more directly threatened by them. Obama and Biden talk about bolstering our alliances, but it looks like they’re more interested in leaving them holding the bag.

And Hugh Hewitt sees this as further evidence that Obama is nothing more than the second coming of Jimmy Carter:

American supporters of Israel have to understand that Obama-Biden is a disaster for Israel’s security. It would be Carter II, but without the keen insight that Carter brought to Iran policy.

According to the The Jerusalem Post says this conversation took place three years ago while Haaertz gave us no time frame.

The Jerusalem Post had more to say about their real worries,

Army Radio said that Jerusalem officials expressed amazement at the comments and were wondering which position to take seriously, that of Biden or Obama, who declared last Monday that the world must press Iran through sanctions and diplomacy to stop its nuclear program, so that Israel does not feel its “back is against the wall” and that it therefore has no choice but to attack.

It isn’t important that Haaertz didn’t give us a time frame, but it should make people ask questions about an Obama/ Biden presidency and where they really stand on Israel.

Still, either way, the message is the same: Biden won’t stand up to Iran, and since Barack Obama chose him for his foreign-policy chops, one has to figure that Obama agrees. After all, Biden is the man who once proposed sending $200 million to Tehran to pacify the mullahs.

And this from comments in the Hot Air comment section. It is correct and for my money very true.

Speechless at such ignorance and stupidity. But have expected nothing less from the left for many years. Always astounded that these people are our ELECTED “leaders”. God help us and God Save America.
