Biden Bashes Israel at Think Tank Funded by Hamas Donor

Qatar is certainly good at influence spending. Maybe Biden is hoping that some of those dirty oil billions can find their way to his presidential campaign.

Appearing at the Brookings Institution’s Saban Forum, Joe Biden accused Israel of collective punishment and came out against sanctions on Iran.

While the Saban Forum is linked to a top Jewish Dem donor, Brookings’ was revealed to have come under the influence of heavy funding from Qatar. Qatar is a state sponsor of such terrorist groups as Hamas and ISIS.

While Brookings said its personnel were “not influenced by the views of our funders,” in 2012, The Times noted, the Qatari foreign ministry said that – thanks to a new accord with the institute, “the center will assume its role in reflecting the bright image of Qatar in the international media, especially the American ones.”

Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal, who lives in the Qatari capital, Doha, said on Aug 21, that “Our relationship with Qatar is not new… We appreciate Qatar’s stand, the brave political stand of its government and people.”

Biden urged the attendees not to make too much of the ugly relationship between Obama and Israel, calling them “normal disagreements.” That’s also the official line held to by Hillary Clinton in her remarks.

While reciting the usual boilerplate about Israeli security and another empty promise to prevent Iran from going nuclear, even as it’s doing so, he warned that sanctions on Iran would “lose the leverage we have to reach a good agreement”.

That’s quite a turnaround from when the official narrative was that sanctions were leverage.

Biden dragged out his old “malarkey” line, but the only malarkey is believing that after the collapse of the talks, Iran’s gloating and the extension, that there is any serious commitment to stopping Iran from going nuclear.

Meanwhile Obama’s people have refused to deny reports of sanctions being planned against Israel.

Vice President Joe Biden called on Israel to stop the demolition of homes of terrorists’ families, which he described as “collective punishment.” Biden also criticized expansion of Jewish settlements “in the West Bank and East Jerusalem” and called on the government to do more to stop “vigilante justice” attacks against Palestinians.

Biden actually co-sponsored bills recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Now he adopted the racist rhetoric of referring to Jews living in one of the oldest cities in the world as living in settlements.

    Job opening at Al Jazeera when he leaves office. He can wear a towel around his head and look terrific on camera while spouting rubbish and keep being paid by Qatar (pronounced – guttercrap).

      That would be a waste of his new hairplugs

  • Gee

    The US bombing ISIS homes is collective punishment as well.

    • Chris Gait

      Wow, it’s not often you see an ISIS sympathizer. Of course it’s collective punishment, and we need a lot more of it. We need to be ruthless and END this. But the pajama boys of the left are in charge. So we’ll toss bombs over the fence and hope the enemy changes their mind.

    Bible prophecy shouting from the headlines….

    HAMAS comes out of a culture where the smallest unit is not the individual but the family.
    Therefore you don’t punish just the individual, but the family as well, because that’s the only way to get the message through.

    Proof that the words politician or senator are synonyms with the word PARASITE.

    1) The Vice Parasite in question, the Honorable Joe Biden has been on a Fed Gov payroll and a gold medical plan for him and his family since 1974.

    Many moons ago, but there are others: Orrin`s Hatch, JayRockefeller, Bernie Sanders and many others who are never late when submitting their monthly expense accounts re: travel, liquid lunches, etc

    2) America was built on the collective punishment of its native indigenous population. Especially Delaware.

    Delaware was a home of the Lenape people. were COLLECTIVELY EXTERMINATED after being DISPLACED by the generous Mr Penn.

    Say it ain`t so Joe.

    “normal disagreements” Yes, Joe, your boss was Moslem as a kid, thus he is still Moslem, even if he has renounced it. They don’t accept resignations in Islam any more than they do in the Mob. And yes, it is normal for Moslems to hate Jews. It is in their scriptures. The real mystery is why Jews in America vote for an anti-Semitic party and administration. I haven’t looked at the figures; was there a smaller Jewish vote for the Social Democrats last time round? (Let’s face it, they aren’t Democrats anymore, that party is gone, they are a European style socialist democratic party).

    Insanely biased article.
    Obviously the rhetoric was to procure more cooperation for future peace initiatives or to defuse the current crisis. You have to be insane to criticize the rhetoric as racist.
