Biden defends Israel and takes a shot at Trump
Washington Post ^ | March 20, 2016 | Greg Jaffe

Vice President Biden delivered a passionate defense Sunday of President Obama’s policy toward Israel and took a direct shot at Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s divisive and polarizing rhetoric.

Biden, speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s policy conference in Washington, where Trump is expected to appear Monday, didn’t mention the billionaire businessman by name. But it was clear that he was speaking of Trump when he condemned those political candidates who seek to divide Americans.

“As the Jewish people know better than any other people, any action that marginalizes one religious or ethnic group imperils us all,” Biden said to loud applause from the crowd of more than 18,000. “It is incumbent on all of us to stand up against those who traffic in pernicious stereotypes, who seek to scare and divide us for political gain, because the future belongs to the bridge builders, not the wall builders.”

Trust the Washington Post to have a false and pandering headline!

Joe “Chuckles” Biden seems to still have his head lodged firmly up his/Obama’s ass. Trump is the only one who supports Israel but is smart/honest enough to declare that the “peace process” is a waste of time and serves no purpose but to further shackle Israel.

The arrogance of Hillary and Biden in accusing Trump of dividing Americans astonishes me. They’ve both made their careers on dividing Americans-rich v poor; black v white; gay v straight; illegal immigrant v citizens.

Did I miss anyone?

ICH BIN EIN BERLINER means I’m a pastry. The same mistake Kennedy made.

I read his criticism of Israel for allowing Jews to build and add on to their homes, and a clear statement that neither Israel or Arabs want peace, they're morally equivalent. The Post reporter mistook someone else for Biden.
