When you see a world figure stumble and collapse verbally (in debate with Donal Trump) or stumble and collapse physically (in going up plane steps), it’s hard not to cringe and share their pain and embarrassment. Besides, Joe Biden has an Irish background of which he is very proud. So aren’t you sorry to see that he’s gone or at least going?
Well,no. If he stayed, Trump was clearly going to make mincemeat of him in future debates. Time gets to us all in the end, so maybe best jump before you get pushed.
But those cringing moments I mentioned above are nothing -NOTHING – compared to Joe Biden’s stand on Gaza. The Palestinian families buried under the rubble, the Palestinian wounded suffering in make-shift tents, being operated on often without anaesthetic, the shattered building, the keening women and the wailing children, stumbling and running for the umpteenth time as the Israeli military warn them to hit the road “for their own safety”, the doctors, the UNICEF staff, the journalists killed by Israel’s IDF – all of this was made possible thanks to decisions taken and maintained by Joe Biden. And his occasional mild bleat that the Israeli’s should be more circumspect in their actions adds hypocrisy to malice. If I were to supply you with an AK-47 and tell you not to kill any more bank staff than necessary, wouldn’t you say I was up to my armpits in the blood and death that followed? Thanks, Joe. Don’t let the door hit your arse as you leave.
There is only one small cloud on the horizon: Kamala Harris. She has acted with Simon-Harris-like speed to grab the candidacy post vacated by Biden, Do you think she’ll be any less granite-hearted as Biden, every bit as ruthless when it comes to feeding funding and weaponry to Israel? Of course not. Candidates and presidents may change but the Palestinian people who have always been treated as sub-human will continue to be treated as sub-human..
Kamala Harris, Simon Harris, Drew Harris – three people at the top of my list not ever to have a beer with.
Oh, nearly forgot – them and Trump.Remember when he was in office, he facilitated the movement of the Israeli parliament from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
This cannot go on.
If Trump gets back into the White House he will allow Israel to do anything it wants with regards to Gaza. Biden like all US Presidents supported Israel’s right to exist. Trump hates Muslims ( well the poor ones anyway, he has a lot of time for the Emirs and Sultans.) If Hamas starts another war and Trump’s fat ass is in the Oval Office, there will be total carnage. He won’t even ask the Israelis to take precautions, he will give them a free hand.
