Joe's Made It Official: It's Once Again Milk The Hebrews Season

Joe"˜s Made It Official: It's Now Once Again Milk The Hebrews/No Pounding Tables Season...

by Gerald A. Honigman

Former Senator and Obama Vice President Joseph Biden made it official on April 25, 2019...he'll run for the presidency against President Donald Trump in 2020.

On the face of it, compared to the new crop of hijab-wearing overt anti-Semites, hands-in-your-pockets Socialists, Latino and native American wannabes, and others making the news, to some nostalgic observers enamored with the alleged good old days of politics, Joe may seem like a reasonable choice for Democrats. On the other hand, many–especially Millennials and younger–will likely suggest he's passé and yesterday's news. Not to mention Joe's also known for a bit too many gaffs and faux pas and now also faces Me Too allegations.

As a Florida NPA registered Independent, who's been around a bit and with no particular allegiance to any political party, I can–perhaps more objectively than many others–appreciate his better attributes as well. Let's consider foreign policy, for example.

Regarding our much used and abused friends and allies, the Kurds, who've done most of the fighting and dying for us against assorted jihadis in the Middle East, unlike most others in the region, these folks actually tend to like America.

As someone who's done substantial work for almost five decades now involving these 38-40 million truly stateless people, I can say that Biden stands out as a source of relative reason and knowledge among his colleagues on this subject. He's to be commended for at least professed, prior verbal concern for these people who, too often, have been betrayed by Washington (and others) big time over and over again.

Still, regardless of Biden's alleged interest and that of some others over the decades, I remain at a loss trying to explain how tens of millions of Kurds still have no "roadmap" of their own towards independence, with virtually no media or other support in academia to speak of, while Joe and his recent boss, President Obama, repeatedly pressured Israel to cave in to virtually all that Arabs demand for the creation of their own 22nd state. That would be the latter's second, not first, by the way within the borders of the original Mandate of Palestine that Great Britain received on April 25, 1920...ninety-nine years to the day of Biden's latest presidential announcement.

What would later be renamed "Jordan" has sat on almost 80% of that original 1920 total area since 1922 as a gift to Arab nationalism, in one of its many hues, by Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill. This occurred around the same time London was shafting Kurds in the Mandate of Mesopotamia"”today's Iraq, where they predate Turk and Arab conquerors by millennia"”as well.

Scores of millions of Kurds remain stateless to date as a result.

Unfortunately, in reality, for all his alleged oral concern, I can't recall any true force or effort exerted by Biden on Kurdistan's behalf during his decades in the Senate or as Vice President for eight years. Indeed, in 2016, he was very vocal in demanding that Kurds not separate from Arabs who've slaughtered, gassed, and displaced them while periodically outlawing their language and culture in both Syria and Iraq as well. For some thirty million Kurds in Turkey and Iran, the experience has been as bad or worse.

Let's next contrast the above travesty with Biden's approach to demands he's made upon Israel...

Except during periods of campaign fundraising–when the time arrives for many to milk Hebrews for all the gelt they can deliver–as Vice President, Biden served, along with Secretary of State John Kerry, as one of President Obama's major attack dogs against Jews who refused to grossly endanger themselves and Israel for the sake of creating a 22nd Arab state. A forced return to the "˜49 "Auschwitz"/armistice lines imposed upon Israel by the UN after it fought off a half dozen Arab states which attacked it immediately upon its rebirth in 1948 would do just that.

From 1949 until the June '67 Six Day War–started with an Arab blockade of Israel (a recognized casus belli), the amassing of 100,000 Egyptian troops right up to the armistice line, expulsion of the UN peacekeeping force in Sinai, and other hostile actions–Israel was made a 9-15 mile wide sardine can, ghetto of a state, where most of its population, international airport, parliament (Knesset), infrastructure, and so forth were squeezed into.

At the end of that war, the final draft of UNSC Resolution 242 promised that Israel would not have to return to those suicidal Auschwitz lines and would receive a territorial compromise in the disputed lands instead...So, guess where the "settlements" (i.e., Jewish towns"”often built on land where Jews have much history) are located and why... https://ekurd.net/john-kerry-israel-obama-2018-01-28

Here's Britain's Lord Caradon, one of the key architects of the final draft of 242, on this subject:

" We didn't say that there should be withdrawal to the '67 lines; we did not put the word "˜the' in; we did not say "˜all of the territories' deliberately (when discussing eventual withdrawal, in the context of true treaties of peace, not ceasefires) ... We all knew that the boundaries ('49 armistice lines) of '67 were not drawn as permanent frontiers, that they were merely ceasefire lines of a couple of decades earlier...We did not say that those (pre-) '67 boundaries must be forever."

Let's look at what some important American leaders had to say about this crucial, still timely issue as well...

President Lyndon Johnson June 19, 1967:

" A return to the situation on June 4 (the day before the outbreak of hostilities) was not a prescription for peace, but for renewed hostilities."

President Ronald Reagan, September 1, 1982:

" In the pre-'67 borders (sic), Israel was barely 10-miles wide...the bulk of Israel's population within artillery range of hostile armies. I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again."

Secretary of State George Shultz, 1988:

" Israel will never negotiate from nor return to the '67 borders."

Many others likewise understood all the above"”the need for a reasonable territorial compromise–including President George W. Bush. He spelled this out in an important letter given to Israel's Ariel Sharon in 2004 just prior to its unilateral withdrawal from Gaza...yet another test that Arabs would flunk with flying colors.

Judeans–Jews–lived and owned land in Judea (the West Bank) clear up to the 1920s and 1930s–when Arabs massacred them.

After newly independent Arab Transjordan (again, itself created out of most of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine) seized the west bank of the Jordan River when it joined other Arab states in attacking Israel in 1948, it formally made Judea "Judenrein." Holding both banks, it renamed itself "Jordan."

This issue is not just one of history. How it is dealt with is important for the future of any proposed peace between Arabs and Jews as well. And it appears that America, with President Trump, now once again, after eight years of the Obama-Biden nightmare, has a leader who not only understands this but is willing to follow through with meaningful actions.

Unfortunately, if the past is any indication of what can be expected from the man who would oppose President Trump in 2920, Biden"”when it's not milk the Hebrew time, will not be much better than the Jihadis' new American Democrat Congressional Representatives, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and their various other Left of Lenin dhimmi pals (millionaire Socialist Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, "Beto," "Pocahontas," etc.) on such matters.

Not convinced yet? I hate bullies...don't you?

In well-documented reports, in addition to being one of Obama's attack dogs and such, Biden used similar strongarm tactics with Israel's late Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, back in 1982–banging on the table with his fists to try to intimidate the Holocaust surviving, Jewish freedom fighter into relinquishing his resurrected nation's barest security needs to American State Department, oil-tainted "no friends, just interests" policies...the same ones still shafting Kurds to this very day.

Again, I know that Joe has called himself "pro-Israel," especially during milking season.

But I never expected, as an American senator or vice president, that Biden would be "pro-Israel." America should be as objective as possible and strive for good relations with all nations.

I just don't want the various Joes to unfairly place the sole, minuscule, State of the Jews in a vise because it refuses to accept all that they want to shove down its throat on behalf of Arabs and others who would have it dead in a heartbeat if they could. And a forced return by Israel to the suicidal '49 armistice lines–what the partial annexation and settlement issues are largely all about–that Biden has demanded would be a step in that direction.

Do Neville Chamberlain, the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia, "peace for our time," the Sudetenland, and Munich 1938 ring any bells here?

Nations fight wars and obtain territories that they have no former ties to thousands of miles away from home. Does the conflict over the Falkland Islands, over 8,000 miles away from Great Britain, ring any more bells? And hundreds of others like it

Has Biden ever banged a table or threatened Arabs over their far worse murderous, rejectionist attitudes and intransigence?

To this day, even his "moderate," latter day Arafatian buddies of Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah insist that they will never recognize Israel as a state of the Jews, regardless of its size. And they talk still of Trojan Horse ceasefires...not real treaties of peace with "their" "kilab yahud," Jew dogs.

So...hey Joe, here's not what you know, but what I know...

Peace–real peace, not that of the grave, the one too many Arabs still have in mind for Israel–will never come by forcing Israel to forsake its concrete, minimal security needs in return for promises by Arabs which can (and will) be broken tomorrow.

When peace is made between enemies, for it to last (the lesson of what happened regarding Germany after World War I), a reasonable compromise addressing the needs of both parties must be reached. No one side gets all that it wants at the expense of the other. That kind of stuff only gives rise to problems down the road. Supposedly, President Trump's long-awaited plan will resemble this approach. Time will tell, but things look promising so far.

In the past, taking the lead from Biden's chief, President Obama, himself, Arabs simply stated–repeatedly"”that their obligation in "negotiations" (i.e., Hebrew arm-twisting) would be to simply receive what Jews would be forced to give.

To such folks–whether the bad cops of Hamas or (until President Trump) the alleged Washington-whitewashed good cops of Abbas, Israel owes nothing.

During this new campaign year, when Joe Biden tries to make himself appear to be Israel's good buddy (especially compared to other Democrat hopefuls), it's best to keep all of this in mind and the checkbooks closed.
