The Forward has just published an article saying that Joe Biden’s long loyalty to a foreign country is a reason to vote for him. The article is entitled “38 billion reasons to vote for Joe Biden.” The title refers to the $38 billion aid package to Israel, which works out to $7,000 per minute from American taxpayers and is approximately $23,000 per each Israeli family of four…
See ads by the Republican Jewish Coalition & the Democratic Majority for Israel – both claim that their candidate will do the most to help Israel.
Both candidates will likely do Israel’s bidding… More and more Democrats support Palestinian rights, but rather than repudiate Trump’s record, Biden has sought to outcompete Trump for the title of most unwavering, uncritical supporter of Israel.

The event will feature Biden, along with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and costs $500,000 per person… Saban is an Israeli-American billionaire who has stated: “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.”
Saban is close to Jared Kushner and helped broker the deal between the UAE and Israel… (Meanwhile, Sheldon Adelson, another pro-Israel billionaire, is funding Donald Trump and Republicans)
Phil Weiss reports that pro-Israel advocates are overjoyed at the prospect of Joe Biden… they say there has never been a nominee from any party who is so pro-Israel, and that his choice of Kamala Harris as veep reflects his love of Israel…

Palestinian rights are becoming mainstream, and support for Israel is declining – especially among Democrats. But you’d never guess it from the Democratic Party platform. (If you’re not happy with this, there’s a place you can upload a short video telling the DNC what you want the platform to contain…)
During Israel’s 2014 onslaught against Gaza, Israel had said ‘jump,’ and Obama and Biden had jumped – to the tune of a quarter of a billion dollars of US taxpayers’ money.

See detailed information on what is driving politicians’ stances on Israel-Palestine since Truman through today…
