I thought that Jimmy Carter would hold the all-time record for in-your-face anti-Semitism, but then along came Barack Obama, with his undisguised animus toward Israel and his appointment to influential positions of a huge number of career Jew-haters and loathers of Israel. Right by Obama’s side for his entire eight years in office was VP Joe Biden, consistently endorsing, approving of and applauding his boss’s policies, including the Iran deal, which pretended to delay the world’s most malign terrorist state from acquiring nuclear weapons that the mullahs said then––and say today––are intended to eliminate the State of Israel.
The Postemail by Joan Swirsky But really no surprise. Ole Joe’s antipathy toward Israel goes way back. According to writer David Israel, in the summer of 1973, only months after he defeated a Republican incumbent to become the junior U.S. senator from Delaware, Biden visited the highest-ranking Egyptian officials and then––with treachery aforethought––delivered their disinformation to Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.
“Biden told Meir that all the Egyptian VIPS affirmed Israel’s military superiority and assured him that it would be impossible for Egypt to go to war against Israel. We all know how that turned out,” writer Israel reminds us, of the Yom Kippur War, with a decisive failure of U.S. Intelligence agencies (surprise, surprise!) and grave losses for our most reliable ally in the Middle East.
Ten years later, in June 1982, Senator Joe Biden banged the desk in front of him with his fist at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting and threatened then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin with cutting off aid to Israel.
Begin forcefully responded: “Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”
In 2015, on the occasion of Israel’s 67th birthday, then-VP Joe Biden said the following: “…I’ve had the great privilege of knowing every Israeli Prime Minister since Golda Meir and more than just casually. And I’ve worked with many of you in this room for up to 40 years. You know me. You raised me. You educated me. And I know you.”
As journalist David Israel wrote: “And we know you, too, President Joe Biden. And as you put it in 1973, we have no delusions.”
And just the other day, on April 8th, Holocaust Remembrance Day––the day that commemorates the six-million Jews who perished in the Holocaust––the Biden regime released its push for gun confiscation, red-flag laws, and the end of the 2nd Amendment.
“So that very day,” writer Steven Neill points out, “we remembered the deaths of six-million Jews at the hands of a tyrannical government and at the same time [Biden’s] government is going full Nazi!”
And in keeping with their vicious antagonism toward Jews and Israel, Joe Biden’s Democrat-run House Foreign Affairs Committee released a Yom HaShoah statement that omitted reference to the six-million Jews killed in the Holocaust and spelled Holocaust with a lowercase H.
Yet again, this is who Democrats voted for. This is who Jewish Democrats voted for.
Less than two weeks after his inauguration on January 20th, 2021, ole Joe immediately made key appointments of longtime Jew- and Israel-loathers. Here is a synopsis of those early appointments from my recent article, “Joe’s Jews.”
SARAH MARGON for Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Nominee…Margon was active on social media “urging companies to pull out of the Israeli Settlements”, but her hatred for the Jewish State goes beyond an economic war of BDS in all its forms. After HRW, Margon joined one of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations as its director of foreign policy advocacy. The OSF is a big funder of BDS groups.
MAHER BITAR for Senior Director for Intelligence of the National Security Council (NSC)…according to Daniel Greenfield, an aggressive anti-Israel activist and Boycott/Divest/Sanction (BDS) supporter who has called for the destruction of Israel.
ANTHONY BLINKEN for Secretary of State…he has praised radical anti-Israel J Street as a “constructive force,” and opposed designating the terrorist Iranian IRGC as a foreign terror organization.
KRISTEN CLARKE as head of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. Paul Miller, executive director of the Haym Salomon Center, documents that Clarke “has a troubling history of advocating for anti-Semites and representing anti-Semitic lies as ‘fact.’”
REEMA DODIN for Deputy Director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs. According to the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), Dodin’s background as a Palestinian propagandist and supporter of suicide bombings is so egregious that she should be fired on the spot. Dodin also organized anti-Israel rallies at UC Berkeley, and has spread Medieval-style blood libels…
AVRIL HAINES for Director of National Intelligence. Described as being rabidly anti-Israel…last May she signed a vicious J Street letter with 30 notoriously Israel-loathing former foreign-policy officials calling on the Democrat Party to oppose Israel’s lawful rights in Judea and Samaria.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE for White House Press Secretary. The former head of MoveOn.org, a far-left anti-Israel group, she has praised lawmakers for boycotting pro-Israel groups and has accused Israel of “war crimes.”
JOHN KERRY as Envoy for Climate. Adam Berkowitz has written that “even the Israeli leftist newspaper Haaretz is appalled by John Kerry’s…utter capitulation to Hamas.” And Joseph Klein has written of Kerry’s farewell stab at Israel when he was Secretary of State under Obama.
ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, is a board member of HIAS, which partners with terrorism-financier Islamic Relief. He has undermined Israeli repatriation policies…and signed a letter defending and praising Jew-basher Linda Sarsour.
DENIS McDONOUGH for Secretary of the Veterans Administration. He has spoken at the anti-Israel J Street convention and falsely condemned Israel’s “occupation.”
SUSAN RICE for Domestic Policy Advisor (aka Biden’s Valerie Jarrett). The serial liar and inveterate Israel-basher was Obama’s senior foreign-policy advisor and also John Kerry’s chief foreign-policy adviser when he ran for President.
WENDY SHERMAN for Deputy Secretary of State. Sherman negotiated the disastrous Iran deal. Again, ZOA spokesmen spell out Sherman’s threat to Israel of consequences from the United Nations (aka the virulently anti-Israel cesspool in NY City) if Israel did not accept a Palestinian (terror) state.
Since then, Biden has expanded his anti-Israel appointments and policies significantly. Clearly, whoever is running the show behind the armed camp at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue believes that nothing is more important than undermining, sabotaging, and “getting” the Jews and Israel.
HADY AMR for Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, to be in charge, as Daniel Greenfield spells out, of setting the Biden administration’s policy on Israel––the perfect pick given his former praise for the “Palestinian” intifada and former role as a Fellow of the Brookings’ Doha Center for Qatar, a “tiny Islamic tyranny allied with Iran, Al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood…and a backer of Hamas.”
PETE BUTTIGIEG for Secretary of Transportation, the guy who now threatens to cut aid to Israel. As Greenfield explains, he is being advised by close associates of Obama and Soros, hence his wholehearted entrance into the anti-Israel echo chamber.
DEB HAALAND (D-NM) for Secretary of the Interior. In June 2020, she signed a vicious letter––along with anti-Semites Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY), and Democrat Betty McCollum (MN), et al––falsely accusing Israelis of violence against the people who call themselves Palestinians.
COLIN KAHL for Undersecretary of Defense. According to ZOA President Morton A. Klein and Chair Mark Levenson, Esq. Kahl has a dismal record of advocating pro-Iranian regime positions, opposing Iran sanctions, advancing an anti-Israel resolution at the U.N, holding anti-Israel positions, and promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
ROBERT MALLEY for U.S. Special Envoy on Iran. Malley has a long and alarming record of anti-Israel hostility and appeasement of Iran, Hamas, the PLO, Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and Syria.
BETTY McCOLLUM, Democrat Representative from Minnesota, for the Chair of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. The vocal anti-Israel lawmaker spews anti-Semitic tropes and aggressively supports cutting aid to Israel.
DENIS McDONOUGH for Secretary of Veterans Affairs. According to the ZOA, while serving as Obama’s chief-of-staff he gave a harsh, anti-Israel keynote speech at the anti-Israel group J Street’s convention and falsely and maliciously called Israel’s presence on historic Jewish lands guaranteed to the Jewish people under international law an “occupation of ‘Palestinian’ land.”
ERIN PELTON for Special Assistant to Biden and a Senior Adviser on Domestic Policy. She is a former lobbyist for Qatar, which has close ties to Iran, is a central hub for terrorism financing, and is also suspected of funding Hezbollah.
SAMANTHA POWER for head of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Obama’s U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has, according to the ZOA, an “abominable anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-Iran record”… [and a] history of anti-Israel statements and actions….Power indeed uses the mantra of ‘human rights’ to condemn and damage human rights-loving countries, especially the U.S. and Israel, and to instead support murderous hateful regimes.”
JEN PSAKI, White House Press Secretary., As a State Dept. spokesperson during the Obama-Biden regime, she questioned Israel’s commitment to peace, defended the U.S. working with the Hamas-Fatah-Palestinian Authority “unity” government while Hamas’s charter calls for Israel’s annihilation and murdering every Jew in existence, and was incapable of saying yes when asked if Israel was an important ally of the U.S.
SYMONE SANDERS for Senior Advisor and Chief Spokesperson to the Vice President, a woman who gave a free pass to avowed Jew-hater Linda Sarsour after Sarsour’s violence-inciting statements, such as the notorious tweet that throwing rocks at Israelis is “the definition of courage.”
UZRA ZEYA, who has a long record of denouncing the “Israel lobby,” according to journalist Hugh Fitzgerald, as well as her full supporting of the despotic and corrupt regimes of Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria, and promoting claims about Jewish media control and dual loyalty to Israel.
Once again, this is who Democrats voted for. This is who Jewish Democrats voted for.
BIDEN’S JEW-HATING POLICIES
-
In February, Politico exposed a U.S. State Department official in the Biden Administration, Fritz Berggren, for operating a website on which he refers to Jews as “the seed of the serpent” and a “brood of vipers.” To date, no word of sanctions or firing of Berggren.
-
While Iranian-backed Iraqi militias were likely behind a deadly rocket barrage on a U.S.-led coalition base in northern Iraq in February, that didn’t stop Biden from releasing $3 billion in Iranian funds that have been frozen in Iraq, Oman and South Korea due to Washington’s sanctions. According to Rabbi Yaacov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish values, this fundingviolates the Taylor Force Act––signed by President Trump in 2018––which stops U.S. aid to the PA until it stops paying stipends to martyred terrorists. “Every global terror organization is delighted to see President Biden in power,” Menken added.
-
Just as the Obama-Biden regime was infamous for leaking intelligence information that was horribly damaging to Israel, the Biden regime is already doing the same, leaking “to The New York Times that Israel attacked an Iranian ship in the Red Sea.”
-
Biden now intends to reinstate funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) — hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars a year for an agency that teaches “Palestinian” children to hate “the Enemy” Israel and believe “Jihad is the road of glory.”
-
The ZOA’s recent report on the U.S. State Department concluded, not surprisingly, that it “is strongly biased against the Jewish State of Israel, relies on falsehoods from anti-Israel and terror-connected Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and others, and resumed using the inaccurate term “occupied” to refer to the ‘West Bank,’ Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and eastern Jerusalem. The Trump administration had correctly and appropriately dropped the inaccurate term “occupied.”
Once again, this is who Democrats voted for. This is who Jewish Democrats voted for.
How could that be? What kind of psychopathology drives people to support a political candidate whose worldview and political philosophy wishes them dead? As Eileen Toplansky sagely asks: “American Jewry–– when will you wake up?”

NWO GLOBALIST, Anti-Freedom, Anti-Human Rights, Rabid American hater, Rabid Jew Hater, Multi Millionaire, Bejing Biden has worked all of these many years with devout Muslim Obama to DESTROY Israel, America and the Free World.
Iran has vowed repeatedly to, Wipe Israel Off the Map.
Huge street demos are regularly held in Iran where Iranians shout, Death to America.
The Clinton’s, Biden, Obama and the Communist Party that seized power in America via massive voter fraud are allies with America’s most dangerous enemies.
Obama Admits He Is A Muslim
Sheikh Yer Weenie, the Infidel Imam says
I keep asking myself, why are there no Republican Muslims? I do not know of a single one. All these Omars and Tlaibs (how do you even proounce that?) and probably every other Muslim in the USA is a Democrat. My guess is that Muslims understand that only the Republican Party really stands for America, which they hate. Now I will say this once and very clearly: a Muslim cannot be an American.
Muslims do not belong to the USA; they are already members of Dar-al-Islam, the House of Islam. They are not under our Constitution; they are under Sharia. I am sure that Keith Ellison, Ilhan (“on 9-11-2001
somebody did something”) Omar and Rashida Tlaib all took their oaths on al-Qur’an, a “Holy Book” that teaches them to subvert the government and replace it with Sharia. See esp. Q 9.29; 60.4.
As Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR has said, and has never recanted, “I want to see the US become an Islamic nation.” Over my moldy bones, Muslim!
BareNakedIslam says
There are some. Dr Zuhdi Jasser (well-known Muslim reformer) is, I believe. And there are even some Muslims who voted for Trump both times.
MuhahahahahahahahahaMAD says
How can you reform islame? Their unholy profit was a warlord, child molester, slaver, thief, mass murdering psychopath and antisemitic pig yet he is considered the perfect model of conduct for all mankind for all time!
I can’t help but notice Jasser only spreads his unctuous vision of islame to the kafir al najjis — because he sure as hell isn’t spreading his islame light in any mosque or moslame state.
BareNakedIslam says
There is a Reform movement, but it is very small.
Linda Rivera says
DIRTY, DEMONIC LIAR “Biden told Meir that all the Egyptian VIPS affirmed Israel’s military superiority and assured him that it would be impossible for Egypt to go to war against Israel.
The DEVIL’S DISCIPLE LIAR Biden’s Hands are COVERED with the BLOOD of Jewish Men and Women, Boys and Girls.
SATANIST Biden has perpetrated Decades of Evil Against Jews.
On Judgment Day, All LIARS, MURDERERS and WICKED ENABLERS. All the Violent. All Rapists, Torturers, Kidnappers and Sex Slavers will Tremble in Terror before the Just Judge, the RIGHTEOUS HOLY ONE, our Glorious, Awesome Creator, an ANGRY GOD, Pure, Holy and Absolutely Good who dwells in Unapproachable Light.
God will give back to the evil ones all the terrible things they did to others. They’ll spend all eternity in FIERY HELL. God’s Holy Angels will declare, “They deserve it”.
Bible, Deuteronomy 32:35
“Vengeance is Mine and retribution…”
The Bible Warns:
“IT IS A TERRIFYING THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD”
Jim Johnson says
Great, informative essay. Will be forwarded to my friends. Thanks for such a great effort.
BareNakedIslam says
It’s much worse than I imagined.
Dapto says
American secular Jews have joined the soros 4th Reich and this Reich want to finish the job that Hitler started.
Martelson says
It certainly is becoming more and more ‘comfortable’ to be publicly anti-Israel and that (increasingly) also means anti-Jewish. I have noticed how increasingly my own mother letting her anti-Jew out to the fresh air…
Not me – I will continue to support Israel and be an friend of the Jewish people. It is the right thing.
BareNakedIslam says
Thank you, Martelson.
Martelson says
Not a need for thanks Bonni. 🙂
Michael Jones says
April 30th 2021 is also the 46th anniversary of this fall of South Vietnam, another country that was also betrayed by Joe Biden.
BareNakedIslam says
All that time in Congress and the Senate and he accomplished NOTHING.
Steve says
Joe wasn’t the only one. The Democrat Party CUT the funding for the Vietnam War and hung South Vietnam out to dry. I spent Jan 72 to Mar 73 there and the last three months were hell trying to convince the North the war was over and stop shooting at us. When the fall of S. Vietnam came I clearly remember all the refugees that flooded Marine Corp Air Station (no longer exists) El Toro and our bussing them south to Camp Pendleton for housing and processing. We took in close to 30,000 and it was a sad sight to see. I will never forget what the Democrat Party did to the South Vietnamese, the men and women that paid the ultimate price to keep it free, and the great and disastrous harm they did to the credibility of the United States on the World Stage.
Linda Rivera says
A terrible, Despicable BETRAYAL of our American soldiers and a TERRIBLE BETRAYAL of the Vietnamese. My heart breaks for them. Mega millions of our precious Vietnamese brothers and sisters were desperate to escape the barbaric communists but were trapped.
Many years ago when I lived in Los Angeles, I sat next to a Vietnamese man on the bus. He was different from everyone else. You could see he was a broken man. I spoke to him.
He told me when the communists took over in South Vietnam, he was captured and placed in a Prisoner of War Camp. And that every day, the communists would hold group sessions.
Each prisoner in turn had to say what their thoughts were. Then everyone else in the group had to say whether they believed he was telling the TRUTH about his thoughts.
