Despite all his public declarations of commitment to Israel, Biden’s decision to have the FBI independently investigate the accidental shooting death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin last May, who put herself in the middle of a fire fight between Israel and Palestinian militants who had fired more than 1,100 rockets into Israel from Gaza, demonstrates the same kind of lack of trust in the Jewish state that Biden reserves for some, but not even all, of America’s biggest enemies.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, Joe Biden doesn’t like Israel and never has. He doesn’t think Jews have a right to build homes in or live in Jerusalem. He plays dirty with people and with words and he definitely plays dirty with Israel.
Witness the famous confrontation between then Senator Joe Biden and Menachem Begin on June 22, 1982. Biden confronted Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in his testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations committee, threatening to cut off aid to Israel. Begin saw Biden for the snake he is and told him off but good:
World Israel News U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blasted the White House Tuesday for authorizing the investigation.
“Joe Biden and his administration view Israel and Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu as political enemies, and so they are responding to them the way they respond to all their political enemies: by unleashing the FBI,” the Texan Republican said in a statement.
“This outrage underscores how corrupt and blatantly politicized the Justice Department has become, and how entirely beholden to the radical left-wing Squad Democrats really are. This administration has spent its time in office weaponizing the DOJ to target their political enemies as a matter of policy, and now they have allowed that tactic to bleed into their obsession with undermining our Israeli allies.”
“Everyone involved with this debacle should be fired or impeached – all the way up to Attorney General Garland,” he declared.
Cruz, who is a member of the Senate’s Foreign Relations and Judiciary Committees, pointed out that Israel had already investigated the incident in “close cooperation” with the U.S., “and the State Department and Defense Departments had already drawn their conclusions.”
Democrats, especially those in the anti-Israel, Muslim led congressional camp dubbed the ‘Squad,’ had been urging the U.S. to launch an independent proble because Abu Akleh was a Palestinian-American citizen.
Israel Today Outgoing Defense Minister Benny Gantz called the decision to launch a new probe a “serious mistake,” adding that Israel “will not cooperate with an external investigation,” which impugns the IDF that has already “conducted a professional, independent investigation which was presented to American officials with whom the details were shared.”
Prime Minister Yair Lapid concurred. “The IDF is a moral and ethical army. IDF soldiers and their commanders defend the State of Israel. The IDF thoroughly investigates any irregular event and is committed to the values and laws of democracy,” he said.
“I have delivered a message to US representatives that we stand by the [Israeli army’s] soldiers, that we will not cooperate with an external investigation, and will not enable intervention to internal investigations,” he also tweeted.
“Our soldiers will not be investigated by the FBI or by any other foreign country or entity, however friendly it may be. We will not abandon our soldiers to foreign investigations. We have conveyed our strong protest to the United States.”

Biden haveing FBI investgate Israel IDF. Fist off FBI are not honst brokers, they lie. Second a extra territorial application of US laws ia “100% wrong. This will cost America greatly down the road Akleh was being stupid putting herself between two warring parties and getting herself killed. She was a stupid American. As for Joe Biden he is as stupid as Akleh was FJB

I’ve never heard of the FBI investigating another country’s internal policies. And the fact that US officials were involved in every aspect of the Israeli investigation and supported the conclusion makes this new investigation stink to high heaven with the stench of Tlaib and Omar.

Rather audacious, isn’t it?
Beyond hypocritical…!

Since Biden knows where John Kerry stands on Israel and Iran, I am surprised he didn’t put Lurch in charge of this.

Israel in my book can have no better friend or ally in congress than Ted Cruz have witnessed him defend Israel’s back and stand down her enemies one and all from both party’s numerous times , Will say here Donald Trump would fair well with him as his running partner to my mind a better match up than DeSantis as VP . if they bury the hatchet and come together for the benefit of their flag and country as they have done by record for all to verify as truth
BareNakedIslam says
I agree.
