Biden’s handlers: always on the side of the “Palestinian” jihad against Israel, while steadfastly ignoring both its motivating ideology and its genocidal intent.
“Biden Admin Takes Major Step To Roll Back Trump’s Jerusalem Embassy Move,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, June 10, 2022:
The Biden administration elevated diplomatic relations with the Palestinian government, in what diplomats warn is the first step to walking back the United States’ historic recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The State Department confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon that a new Office of Palestinian Affairs will be established in Jerusalem and act independently of the U.S. ambassador to Israel’s office there. The formation of a separate diplomatic office bolsters U.S. relations with the Palestinian government and could violate the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, which mandated that a single U.S. embassy be established in the holy city.
The State Department also confirmed that it is working to go even further—opening an official Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem wholly independent of the U.S. embassy in Israel. Attempts to establish this diplomatic facility have been stymied by Israel’s opposition to the move, and the recent formation of the Palestinian Affairs office is viewed as a temporary workaround. That would set the stage for Jerusalem to once again be viewed by the United States as divided between Israeli and Palestinian territories.
Former U.S. diplomats who spoke to the Free Beacon about the move said the Biden administration is trying to undermine former president Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, which eliminated a formal distinction between West and East Jerusalem. By establishing an office dedicated to the Palestinian government in the city, the administration is reopening the possibility of allowing that government to assume control of portions of the city….
A State Department spokesman, speaking only on background, confirmed the creation of the new Palestinian office and said U.S. diplomats in the region are pressing the Israeli government to allow the full reopening of the Palestinian consulate. The Israeli government opposes this move.
The Palestinian affairs office “operates under the auspices of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and reports on substantive matters directly to the Near Eastern Affairs Bureau in the State Department,” the spokesman said, confirming reports that the ambassador to Israel will no longer be consulted on issues handled by this office.
The Biden administration remains “committed to re-opening our consulate in Jerusalem,” the spokesman confirmed. “We continue to believe it is an important way for our country to engage with and provide support to the Palestinian people.”…

Ass-backwards Biden and his ass-backwards handlers (Rice, Klain, Garland, Dr. Jill, and, yes, the “master” himself, Obama, et al.) do everything wrong. This time it is in regard to Israel, the only free and democratic polity in the entire Middle East.
And may I once again thank all the fools who ACTUALLY voted for Biden in 2020 (bogus votes by the hundreds of thousands in the six key swing states not counting). Shame on all of you. Deep shame. For a long time. Preferably forever considering that the puppet Biden and those orchestrating his many stupid policies are in the process of doing their best to destroy America.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, long live Israel and, Israel, respecting Biden and his cronies, as they would say in West Virginia, pay them never no mind.
Eva says
Unfortunately, they can’t just ignore this and do nothing.
The breathtaking arrogance and evil of this ‘administration’ means that they will just open the consulate anyway, and assume that Israel won’t do anything about it.
And let’s be honest, there’s plenty in the past that Israel hasn’t done anything about, so that belief is fully justified.
A good start would be to expel the ambassador, all his staff and shut the American embassy down until such times as they can learn some respect for a sovereign nation, and their only true ally in the entire region.
commonsense says
Excellent comment.
Wellington says
Eva: I understand your point, but I still aver that Israel, while the highly destructive bogus Biden Administration is in power, should do its best to simply ignore it. In brief, optimal to once again follow the “Allenby Rule,” i.e., when in doubt do nothing.
Thus, I don’t think shutting down the American embassy in Israel is a real option. This would be unnecessary overkill. Just let it remain but largely ignore it and Biden’s pathetic Ambassador. After all, apathy is often more effective than invective.
Again, the “Allenby Rule,” which asserts that when confronted by a myriad of difficult decisions, do nothing because it is usually the best thing. Consult the great film, “Lawrence of Arabia” (!962), for a magnificent confirmation of this rule, as played by the great Jack Hawkins taking on the role of General Allenby. I rest my case—for now.

Eva, the US–not Biden, obviously, the the US in general–is Israel’s greatest ally. Targeting American diplomatic staff would not be particularly useful.

One evil hand washes…with slime….the evil hand of another. with these, no evil deed goes undone.
Eva says
The biden ‘administration’ should damn well keep its nose OUT of Israel’s business, or risk having it cut off.
Since when do they have any right to interfere in the running of ANY sovereign nation, and would they dare to try it in any other country but Israel? Would any other country put up with the total and blatant support for an enemy whose intentions are to commit the genocide of their people?
The answer is a resounding NO, and neither should Israel.
The Israeli government should expel the American ambassador, and every single one of his staff, and anybody who has a hand in this latest atrocity of Jew-haters.
somehistory says
good argument.
Eva says
Thankyou.
Eva says
Thankyou

Agreed!

Excellent comment.

The USA and Canada make it very easy for the sane to know their enemies.For a fact Liberals and Democrats are the masses enemies and one day that day will.come.
Infidel says
Israel should simply put its foot down and say, “NO!” Also, tell Biden that if he decides to try and move back the US embassy out of Jerusalem, he might as well shut it down altogether
Or Israel could open a new consulate to the US in Toronto or Tijuana: I’m sure that will go down well!
Wellington says
Respectfully disagree, Infidel. Best approach, and per my post to Eva above, just have Israel ignore the bogus Biden Administration. Indifference, after all, especially in geopolitics, is often times more powerful than actual opposition.
Israel needs to wait out the 2022 and 2024 elections in America, Best policy, I would argue, seen from an Israeli perspective. I mean why feed stupidity if doing so only attracts more opposition to your cause? Sometimes, you know, merely waiting for your enemy to strangle itself is the best option. As here, I would argue.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington.
Infidel says
I disagree! When incompetent foreign policy takes over, other countries should punish the US. Like Russia has. Yeah, I disagree and denounce the invasion of Ukraine, but Russia has shown us what having the wrong people in the State Department would do to international geopolitics and the world economy
Like Russia, Israel too needs to punish the US, so that voters would be forced to consider the international repercussions of voting Democrat just like they consider the domestic repercussions, be it the economy, social and cultural impacts, defense and so on
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden and Abbas standing their together to make a good sinister political match .
In that sense the both deserve each other, Abbas the more intellinet wicked man and Joe Biden being the less intelligent man , But just as dangerous.
As for Biden i, he is so terrible that he is a strong reminder of the two statements of wisdom by the ancient Greek philosopher , Plato , in which he had written “One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up be ruled by your inferiors.”
Likewise, Plato also wrote “The price good man pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
Walter Sieruk says
There should have been much more political effect during the year of 2020 to keep the horrible Joe Biden from having become official the “President” ofthe united States of January 20, 2021.
For Biden is a complete horrendous disaster both on the national US level as well as one international level.
Less political activity on the part of the Conservatives might have played a part in thaving that awful treasonous idiot creepy old Biden enter the White House..
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato wisely had written “The penalty for refusing to take part in politics is to be ruled men inferior to yourself.”

Biden’s handlers to open ‘Palestinian’ consulate in Jerusalem, undermining recognition of city as Israel’s capital
……………
Utterly appalling–yes, this is purely intended to undermine Israel’s sovereignty, with the hope that once Biden is out of office that this will be regarded as an unfortunate fait accompli. Just despicable.
maria says
Biden and his gang are now new nazis as well as Trudeau. Israel must stop their opening of consulate neither in Jerusalem nor anywhere in Israel.
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and no muslim rats will be live there.
Hopefully, the real American will win both Senate and the House in midterm elections

The two sides of the people of the USA might as well be from different planets. The differences between us are so vast we are long past the point of reconciliation. This is not something I ever would have hoped for but here we are. Mostly non governmental citizens were attacked on 9-11 and one of the main reasons was the plotters hated our government. Most non democrats rallied to the governments cause, you are with us or against us, but it turns out that our government doesn’t even like us. The America loving people have been played and that has been happening for quite a while. So the question is, where do we go from here?
I don’t believe individuals or groups of individuals here and there can affect any positive change. It will take an alliance of like minded states to accomplish anything. I also know that the democrat left will do everything within their power to prevent us from living our lives our way. Like a wild and crazy stalker, they will pursue and harass us to the ends of the Earth.
gravenimage says
tgusa, what “like minded states” did you have in mind? And if you don’t believe that democracy can work, what, precisely, do you plan on substituting it with?
I think the main problem is just the opposite–that too many people are not speaking out, and have grown apathetic about politics.
tgusa says
I don’t know at this moment. Things are proceeding at a very fast pace. I don’t have the answers, we are in new territory now. Choosing how you want to live within the rules of the US Constitution is un-democratic? We live in a Republic of individual states. I’m not sure we can call what we have now a democracy. Its more like a giant cage match between two completely opposing sides. You may be right about your main problem hypothesis. Before covid hit I was considering moving somewhere else because I’m sick of it all. I still am, thinking about that and my family history on this continent goes back much further than the establishment of the United States of America.
We have lots of terrible things going on. School shootings, Larry Flint seems to be in or around every issue. The culture that these people have created worries me more than most anything.
gravenimage says
Of course you can leave if you like, tgusa. Personally, I still think the US is worth fighting for, the appalling current occupant of the White House notwithstanding.
And Larry Flint died last year–although you are right that the nasty Hustler ethos is still with us.
tgusa says
Thanks, if I decide to move, I will. Before I do that let me know when the fighting starts and I will be happy to join in. Its not just the current occupant of the white house gravenimage.It is much bigger than that. A girl that I am close to lives up near you. Shes moving to Ireland and that was a bit of a shock to me but I understand.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden and Abbas Mahmoud two insidious schemers together for evil.
Biden with his anti-Israel goals with his comrades in that abomination of that Red/ Green alliance, and Abbas with his anti-Israel PA and his violent and deadly jihadists brothers of Hamas and Hezbollah with their jihad agenda.
Therefore it’s no wonder Biden and Abbas are standing next to each other as good friends .
As the Bible puts forth the rhetorical question in Amos 3:3. which is “Can two walk together , except they be agreed ? ” [.K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden and his comrade Abbas in the top ,photograph above in this jihadwatch article ,in which they both are standing together in joined hands.
The Bible informs its reader in Proverbs 11:21 . “Though hand join in hand , the wicked shall not go unpunished.” [K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.
For the “measure” of Joe Biden is his favoring the PA and its murderous terror entitles Hamas and Hezbollah and his striving to give everything that vicious and hostile Islamic regime of Iran demands, which at the same time calls the United States “The Great Satan ” and the State of Israel “The little Satan.”
Likewise that Islamic regime of Iran which Biden supports keeps on broadcasting to the Iranian people “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”
So it’s very clear and obvious that the actural , real , measure” of Joe Biden is treachery and treason,
