US president desperate to free himself from the Jewish lobby!
When we were children, we were told the allegory of Dr Faust and the devil.
Now the great Dr Faust wanted to be the fanciest man in the world. To do so, he asked the devil to administer an elixir, which would restore his youthfulness.
The devil agreed on condition that Dr. Faust would hand over his heart to him.
Nothing could have been more attractive to US President Joe Biden, otherwise a decent man in normal times, than to assure his re-election by attaching himself to the wishes and ambitions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
This would open the bank accounts of Jewish money for his re-match with a resurgent billionaire Donald Trump.
The attack on an Israeli celebration by Hamas Resistance Movement happened on October 7, 2023. Israel lost 1 200 of its citizens.
Biden immediately flew to Israel, arriving on the 18th of that month to pay respects to his paymasters and sponsors, giving a bear hug to Netanyahu-an action he now regrets.

He is now frantically trying to retrace his footsteps and distance himself at least until after the elections in November.
The trouble is that he is fooling nobody.
In his enthusiasm to gain Jewish money and support, Biden was willing to sacrifice 2.3 million Palestinians to death by bombing and starvation.
Netanyahu, who harbours evil in his heart for Palestinians, made his intentions to Biden known.
Gaza was to be bombed out, the 2.3 million Palestinians who fail to flee into Sinai desert were to be starved.
“Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.” (Mother Jones 11/03/23)
Israel’s mission in Gaza was no secret and Biden smiled and agreed to the terms of the deal.
Now an empty Gaza would be resettled by Jews, and finally the oil and gas reserves underneath their soil would be appropriated.
Biden supplied all the weapons, money, know how and support at the United Nations if objections to the plan arose.
Biden was bought and paid for. Netanyahu got all the support he wanted. The United Nations was neutered, as requested.
But there were two unforeseen factors in the equation.
The advent of social media and the cell phone meant that the slaughter of Palestinians was done in broad daylight and broadcast on Tik Tok all over the world.
The slaughter was on such a mass scale as had never been seen before.
Though all the major western television networks were bought and paid for, veteran news correspondents at the BBC like Stephen Sackur and Tim Sebastian and Christiana Amanpour at Cable News Network rebelled.
Within Biden’s own cabinet, the slaughter of Palestinians became unbearable. Voices could not be restrained.
Two examples will suffice. Christiana asked the Israeli spokesperson. “When you bombed the hospital-Al Shafar, you knew there were children and women in there?”
Mumbled answer.
“Did you find Hamas there?”
Mumbled answer. The truth is that there was no Hamas fighters there.
Sebastian of the BBC asked a US spokesperson (18th March) in typical English understatement.
“Is it not rather silly for you to complain about the killing of Palestinians when you continue to send weapons to Israel?”
Mumbling.
In a moment of candour, US defence secretary Loyd Austin told a Defence Forum audience that:
“In this kind of a fight the center of gravity is the civilian population. And if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat.” (December 4).
The conferees looked at the brother with disbelief. “Who in hell is supplying the Israelis with bombs?”
Biden’s supporters in the media are being forced to face reality. The Hill newspaper excoriated him as follows.
“Last week,” says The Hill newspaper, “We saw the most duplicitous photo of the war yet, images of American troops air dropping 30 000 meals… into Southern Biden Gaza.
“Those meals were dropped on a dystopian hellscape by bombs provided by the US …for which Biden by-passed Congress.”
The paper continues; “The war paints a portrait of Netanyahu leading Biden around by the nose in front of global audience. Worse than this, however, is what all this says about American values.” (The Hill/03/07)
Biden has been trying to redeem his good name (if he has any remaining).
He has leaked information that he is mad with his slave master Netanyahu, calling him “that f –(word) son of a bitch”.
Today as we go to press, he has leaked another story that he was on the telephone with Netanyahu (March 19).
He told Netanyahu to come to Washington, D.C. and discuss how to go about surgically rooting out Hamas fighters while sparing women and children.
In another story, Biden has been consulting with Senate leader Chuck Schumer.
“Netanyahu has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel.
“He has been willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows.
“Israel cannot survive if it becomes pariah. As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me that the world has changed radically.”
At first, I was impressed by this supposed change of direction in the Democratic Party.
Analysts, however, have pointed out that Schumer, a Jew, consulted and received permission from the Israeli lobby.
Secondly, Schumer did not refer to the Palestinian suffering with any manner of empathy.
Most damaging of all, analysts say that both Biden and Schumer have not changed heart.
If they cared about Palestinians, they would stop sending bombs to murder them.
They are acting up and showing off in the hope of impressing Arab and African American electors to support Biden’s second term in November.
Biden has earned the nickname of Genocide Joe.
