The Biden administration really hates Israel.
One would think this would be a problem. But it’s also routine in the Biden administration which, in recent weeks, elevated Hady Amr, a terrorism supporter, to a top-tier emissary to the PLO and sent the FBI after Israel. This is just one in a series of ugly hate messages, the latest being to dispatch Secretary of State Blinken to address an anti-Israel group set up by George Soros and some Hong Kong money laundering.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will be the keynote speaker at leftwing J Street’s annual conference in Washington, D.C., the organization announced on Wednesday.
Blinken on Wednesday announced that he will serve as the headline speaker at the annual conference for J Street, which as recently as last month trashed Netanyahu, accusing the incoming prime minister of “building and bulldozing [his] way to permanent, undemocratic control of the West Bank.” The group also advocates conditioning U.S. aid to Israel, routinely attacks the Jewish state for defending itself against Palestinian terrorism…
The conference kicks off this weekend, with Blinken set to address the confab on Sunday, alongside former Bernie Sanders adviser and longtime Israel critic Matt Duss, Daily Beast writer Wajahat Ali, a cadre of pro-Palestinian activists, and several Democratic members of Congress, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.) and senator-elect Peter Welch (D., Vt.).
Duss, a Sanders ally, has gone well beyond being a critic.
Duss, whose writings have been described by a watchdog group, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, as “infected with Jew-hatred,” has been a leading voice in the anti-Israel movement for the better part of the last decade. His criticisms of Israel were too much even for the Obama White House, which said it was “troubled” by blog posts penned by Duss and his colleagues at the now-defunct ThinkProgress.
The Sanders ally gained notoriety in 2011 when he and several other writers at the Center for American Progress’s now-defunct ThinkProgress leveled charges of dual loyalty against Israel’s American supporters, calling them “Israel firsters,” a term that was widely condemned at the time as anti-Semitic.
In one 2010 posting on Israel’s deadly confrontation with a violent mob seeking to break its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, Duss claimed the country’s policies are like “segregation in the American South” and a “moral abomination.” Duss is also a defender of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and said in 2019 that congressional efforts to counter the anti-Israel crowd are a “con and Democrats need to stop playing along.”
Also there is Daniel Seidemann who had tweeted, “Israel’s policies have become so aggressive and unapologetic – defiant even – that even our staunchest supporters, if they have any intellectual and moral integrity – are compelled to acknowledge the systematic manifestations of apartheid in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.”
The anti-Israel program also includes panels such as, “Resisting Occupation: Non-Violent Activism on the Ground”, and “Demolitions, Evictions, and Displacement in East Jerusalem and the West Bank”.
A helpful reminder that the Biden administration is and always will be an anti-Israel operation.

https://www.thinc.info/ is worth checking out as scrupulously fair and balanced advocates of the legitimacy of Israel as a nation. And, to my mind, Mr Soros is a traitor to his people – I don’t have the least problem with the fact that he is of Jewish descent, but anti-Semitic Jewish is something else.

The self-hating Jews (and there are lots of them) are the very worst sort you can’t deal with them.
Who watched the Channel 4 programme by David Badiel (Jewish born) now an “atheist” an hour-long piece of mind-boggling anti-semitic tripe broadcast by a (usually) decent UK channel?
I don’t blame ch.4 I blame the self-hating Jews he endlessly ‘interviewed’ pure garbage ch.4. you must have known what was coming.
Wellington says
Demonstrating again that the bogus Biden Administration is an enemy of freedom, justice, decency, fairness, common sense and all that makes mankind a better species rather than a worse one.
I defy anyone to give me an example of how the bogus Biden Administration has made things better for America and mankind as a whole. To my mind, it is an enemy of both and aligned with iniquity as well as with stupidity. Yes, this awful. Biden and his ilk are all revolting creatures.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
If the bogus Biden regime were actually trying to destroy America – while aiding and abetting its enemies – they wouldn’t be doing anything differently from what they are now doing.
It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say that they actually have evil intent…
Wellington says
Agreed, James. Everything the feeble Biden and his handlers have engaged in since January of 2021 has only hurt America. The only half-right thing this bogus Administration has done is aiding Ukraine but even this comes with two provisos—Putin would not have invaded Ukraine in the first place were Trump still President and thus dispositive of how Biden and his handlers ooze weakness and, aside from this, not demanding a strict accounting of the money America has sent Ukraine is fertile ground for corruption on steroids—like the entire FTX scandal and with kickbacks to the Democratic Party.
The entire system is corrupt and unjust and we are losing America as a fallacious presidential administration continues to do stupid things all the while creeps and the dysfunctional aplenty continue trying to mainstream their aberrancies, even to the extent of characterizing normal behavior as somehow deficient and hate-filled—which confirms what former Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan observed and that is that now only in our era has deviancy been defined downwards but, even more menacing, upwards as well.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Strongly agree, thanks for your reply.

Good exchange, Wellington and James.

This is a reflection of how terribly anti-Jewish and anti-Israel Joe Biden and his administration really are. Therefore, Biden and his staff/ handlers are in essence, un-American.
It also should be remembers that the former US President, William Howard Taft, wisely, declared in a speech that “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out it has no place in America.”
Alkflaeda says
The Puritans (and hence the Pilgrim Fathers) set a right value on Christianity’s Jewish heritage, and some even redressed the imbalance of the disproportionately Greek emphasis in the Renaissance by learning Hebrew. They would have been the last people to have despised the guardians of that heritage – you only have to look at the names they chose for their children to see that.

Secretary of State Blinken to Address Anti-Israel Group Along With ‘Infected With Jew-Hatred’ Activist
…………………………………..
Just appalling–but no surprise. The Biden administration is woefully antisemitic, and especially antagonistic to our ally, civilized Israel.
