Biden To Israel: You’ll Have To Accept A Nuclear Iran

September 1, 2008 · Filed Under Barack Obama, Israel

Here’s a story that should raise eyebrows among those who support Israel, and oddly enough also support Barack Obama. According to Haaretz, Joe Biden told Israeli officials behind closed doors they’re going to have to reconcile themselves with a nuclear Iran if Barack wins the election.

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden was quoted Monday as telling senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran.

In the unsourced report, Army Radio also quoted Biden as saying that he opposed “opening a additional military and diplomatic front.”

Army Radio said Israeli officials expressed “amazement” over the remarks attributed to him.

“Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,” Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the unnamed officials.

“It’s doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front.”

The paper goes on to to revisit Sen. Biden’s public comments last year regarding the Jewish State. He told Shalom TV that he was a Zionist even if he wasn’t a Jew, and that Israel was America’s single greatest ally in the Middle East, etc.

Apparently in an Obama/Biden administration Israel will be a ‘good friend’ — at least long enough to get the Jewish vote.

This will come as a complete shock to many people, but I’m not surprised in the least. Its always amazed me that Jewish Americans tend to vote for Democrats when the Democrats don’t give a rip about Israel. President Bush has been the most pro-Israel President in American history — and rightfully so.

The Democrats would love to cut off military aide to Israel and leave them to fend for themselves, but in order to get elected they pretend to be passionate about supporting Israel. The reality is actually quite different. Most Democrats really view Israel as being more trouble than it’s worth. Many believe that most of America’s problems around the world are a direct result of our friendship with Israel.

While it may be true that some don’t like our close ties with Israel, Republicans could care less about how other countries feel about it. The GOP passionately supports Israel and would do anything to ensure that the Jewish State lives on.

I think the main reason that a lot of Jews vote against there interests by voting for Democrats is because they’ve never been to Israel. American Jews especially the Hollywood types have no idea the horrors that many Israeli families experience at the hands of radical Muslims. They don’t fully grasp the kind of insane bombings and murder that takes place in otherwise quite Jewish neighborhoods by these Islamic thugs.

Conservatives get that about the Jewish people. They understand the threat of Islamic terrorism and radical Islam. They understand what kind of threat a nuclear Iran poses not only to the security of Israel, but to the entire world.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden just don’t get it. They will never be the terror warriors and defenders of Israel that a John McCain/Sarah Palin administration would be.
