Biden calls himself a zionist, defends the Iraq war and shills for Israel. Surprised? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAZmO80dLfE
take the money, run take the money, run! Hey Obama fix the banks! fucK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh boo hoo I can't buy cloned meat at the super market any more better go fishing, or better start gardening oh wait too late i'm starving off my own FAT (yay 08 yay 08)
Yeah Biden supported the war, but it's hard to find but a handful in Washington that didn't. Over the years I've watched Biden, and liked his actions many times. One that comes to mind was his questioning of Clarence Thomas during the hearings. He didn't pussyfoot around while many others just threw out easy questions. It's hard to find anyone that is blameless around Washington.
For those who say zionists aren't trying to take over Washington, let them consider this daywalker. Self confessed zionist. Full public disclosure of the fact. Possible future vice president. Years ago, this would have never flown in the US. The only reason it squeaks by now is because so few people understand zionism to be a threat. I'm speaking of radical, political zionism here. This is a Jewish supremacist movement, and it's only too happy to to have good Christian soldiers like Biden in a position of power. In case Obama has an accident or something, Biden skates his way into the most powerful seat in the world. x
Can someone please quote the full context of what he says? I'm at work, and I can't watch the youtube video. Any transcript lying around somewhere of the actually context of the quote? I mean, I am the walrus.

Biden Jr. (D-DE) emphatically stated his commitment to the State of Israel, calling the country "the single greatest strength America has in the Middle East." Senator Biden further stressed that without Israel, one could only imagine how many battleships and troops America would have to station in the Middle East. Meeting with Shalom TV President Rabbi Mark S. Golub in Washington, DC, the candidate for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination said that it's insulting for any American to suggest that Israel is somehow the cause of the war in Iraq. "If, tomorrow, peace broke out between Israelis and Palestinians, does anybody think there wouldn't be a full-blown war in Iraq? And, conversely, if Iraq were transported to Mars, does anyone think there would not be terrorism visited upon the Israelis every day? "So let's get it straight. Israel is not the cause of Iraq. Iraq being settled or not settled has nothing to do with Israel's conduct." The Senator also expressed a sensitivity and empathy for Israelis who have had to live with terrorism. "[From 9/11], Americans can taste what it must feel like for every Israeli mother and father when they send their kid out to school with their lunch to put them on a bus, on a bicycle or to walk; and they pray to God that cell phone doesn't ring." "I am a Zionist," stated Senator Biden. "You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist." Asked about Jonathan Pollard, sentenced to life-imprisonment for giving classified information to the State of Israel, Senator Biden opened the door to leniency, but not a pardon. "There's a rationale, in my view, why Pollard should be given leniency. But there is not a rationale to say, 'What happened did not happen and should be pardoned.'" [A transcript of Shalom TV's interview with Senator Biden is located below.] Shalom TV, an American cable television network devoted to Jewish public affairs and Jewish culture, is carried on Comcast and Blue Ridge cable systems as a subscription Video On Demand service. Additional information on the network is available at www.shalomtv.com. ### SHALOM TV: Many Americans believe there's a link between America's war in Iraq and the State of Israel and that if America didn't have such a commitment to the state of Israel, there wouldn't be these problems in Iraq. What would you say to anyone who's expressed that thought to you? Page 2 SENATOR BIDEN: It's bizarre. When the Baker Commission filed its report saying peace in Israel is related to Iraq, I was the first and only person in Congress to point out [that] if, tomorrow, peace broke out between Israelis and Palestinians, does anybody think there wouldn't be a full-blown war in Iraq? And, conversely, if Iraq were transported to Mars, does anyone think there would not be terrorism visited upon the Israelis every day? The difference between now and before 9/11: many Americans can taste what it must feel like for every Israeli mother and father when they send their kid out to school with their lunch to put them on a bus, on a bicycle or to walk; and they pray to God that cell phone doesn't ring. Every day, every day. So let's get it straight. Israel is not the cause of Iraq. Iraq being settled or not settled has nothing to do with Israel's conduct. The second part is: people should understand by now that Israel is the single greatest strength America has in the Middle East. Imagine our circumstance in the world were there no Israel. How many battleships would there be? How many troops would be stationed? So I find it not only incorrect, but mildly insulting. SHALOM TV: In the American Jewish community, there's sensitivity to the plight of Jonathan Pollard. What should be done now with Jonathan Pollard? SENATOR BIDEN: If we don't want to play into the argument that Americans who support Israel have dual loyalties, then you can't deal with Pollard. He has to serve his sentence. There's a rationale, in my view, why Pollard should be given leniency. But there is not a rationale to say, "What happened did not happen and should be pardoned." I was raised by a righteous Christian. My father was a gentle man. He was a white collar worker, high-school educated but a student of history and a devoted supporter of Israel. My father could not understand how people could [fail to understand] that without an Israel no Jew in the world was safe. He couldn't understand how support [for Israel] could be translated into being un-American. My worry is that, if I were president, to go and pardon Pollard would make a lie out of the notion that there are certain rules. Period. You cannot give classified information. Period. Even to a friend. If this were great Britain, it would be the same thing. So the standard has to be maintained, in my view. SHALOM TV: Have you ever been at a Seder SENATOR BIDEN: I have. SHALOM TV: Give us one Seder memory SENATOR BIDEN: My son married a young woman whose mother and whole family is a very prominent Jewish family in the state of Delaware, the Bergers. Probably my most poignant Seder memory is not with the Bergers, but what happened right after I came back from meeting Golda Meir [in 1973]. Page 3 I had predicted that something was going on in Egypt. And I remember people talking about what it meant to them if Israel were actually defeated. And there is this inextricable tie between culture, religion, [and] ethnicity that most people don't fully understand--that is unique and so strong with Jews worldwide. When I was a young Senator, I used to say, "If I were a Jew I'd be a Zionist." I am a Zionist. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.
expect more religious warfare for jehova in a century from now, whatever happens the religious right wing of israel can claim that they had nothing to do with the attack on iraq, iran, syria, jordan, egypt and the other places known as "greater israel". why? because they didn't actually do anything, another entity did these things. does this sound familiar? if you were a christian you would be aware of the story of "jesus" or whoever he really was. the religious jews of today can claim that technically the priesthood of judaism had nothing to do with the death of jesus .... the romans killed jesus fast forward a couple of thousand years and it looks as if the religious right wing is at it again. israel has come into being and has been succesfully fighting an "anti terrorism" campaign for what.... 60 years?! the originally inhabitants have been herded into what is widely understood as death camps in the name of jehova- then again a brief look through the king james bible will show that attacking the inhabitants of the country is not a new thing. the religious fanatic of yesteryear is very much like the fanatic of today, when the romans marched in it was a great shock to find that an entire civillization existed elsewhere and perhaps jehova wasn't strong after all. now the religious fanatic of israel is strong, he now holds control of an arsenal of nuclear weapons that he can hold out in like masada. when masada falls again - as history shows will happen, the fanatic can launch these missiles and destroy the whole planet in the name of jehova. god knows what would have happened if the taliban had somehow been given nuclear weapons. for all the sane people of this site i have one message wash your hands of the religious wars and give no more money to fanatics, they can only survive with your help , ignore them and give them no more money or financial incentive to exist and they will whither away. if this is true about obama's running mate then i would seriously reconsider voting for obama. its not too late to prevent further wars. obama is obviously a very good politician (take this anyway you feel) but will he really change america? i doubt it, he knows what to say BUT surely considering that he has already been in power for some time surely this great change would have already happened in his own electorate and all his great ideas would have already born fruit? voting for mccain will also fuel further religious war as well. you would do well to find someone who will cut off the money suppply to idiots and idiotic activities than vote for dubious but friendly personalities. its a shame gore or carter aren't in the running.
you can be sure the religious maniacs will complain i am being unfair sure.. fight your religious wars with someone elses money and troops good lord!! why not your own troops? oh yeah that didn't work out recently. maybe jehova didn't hear your cries oh help to kill more people. oh well jehova is fickle. if israel is so great why is it that its most ardent supporters in america won't go there? .........oh yeah. god is great allah is great jehova is great i have grown tired of all this homespun garbage peddled to me by the media about why i need to support genocide but you can be sure that the machine will grind on until one of its wheels falls off.
Why don't we all wait and see who McCain chooses. And see which ticket is more balanced in the interests of this country. I am shocked Biden made that statement, he lost credibility with me. But then neither party's candidates have much credibility with me currently. And Nader doesn't either I am sorry to say. Zionists to me are as or more dangerous than Radical Islamic Extremists...whoever or whatever they are supposed to be at the moment. A Zionist Extremist assassinated Rabin. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/nov/05/israel He's had conjugal visits.
