During a meeting between President Joe Biden and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday, the Palestinian Authority’s honor guard welcomed Biden with a poor rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
“Just the Palestinian Authority’s honor guard completely butchering the American National Anthem…” tweeted Kassy Dillon, the U.S. Bureau News Editor for Jewish News Syndicate.

The brutal performance elicited mockery and criticism on Twitter, with some even suggesting that the Palestinian orchestra played poorly on purpose.
Christopher Bedford, senior editor at The Federalist, was among those who accused the honor guard of intentionally butchering the Star Spangled Banner.
“These guys know how to play,” he tweeted. “This is intentional.”
These guys know how to play. This is intentional. https://t.co/3MmuDxHMzz

Another Twitter user Hoyt1313 echoed Bedford’s theory, writing, “This was intentional. These musicians are on tempo, and clearly know the tune. There is no way that they would only mess up the pitch of their notes. It isn’t possible that this many of their musicians are only bad at pitch. There would be some bad at keeping time & others tune.”

Yasser would be proud as a LGBTQ parade flag.
Biden couldn’t tell the difference between a properly played US national anthem and the theme song for Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
The Palestinian band sounded like a High School band. They simply may not be good musicians.
This is hysterical! How appropriate - a perfect fit with Baden’s presidency.
That reminds me of Rush Limbaugh playing a band performance of “Fanfare for the Common Man” by Aaron Copland, which was supposedly played to introduce Michael Dukakis by the
Brookline Pops”.
I have NO doubt the REAL POTUS OBAMA told the Palestinians to do this.
That is *rehearsed* version of extremely bad.
If it was just B grade musicians, which I don’t think it was, then who selected/hired them?
I believe those are professionals that were given a green light (or ordered, as they are military) to play lousy.
Keeping in line with zhao bidens butchering of America
We should give them Monopoly money instead of American dollars next time. 🤣
As I posted in another thread. Fitting for this administration.
Honor Guards, Honor Killings, tomato, tomato.
that rendition is typical of everything Palestinian - off-pitch, sour and ugly.
Try elementary band.
At least with the Pee Wee’s Playhouse theme, you know he’d
stand up and salute.
Biden would butcher the lyrics like “Enrico Pallazzo” in The Naked Gun.
