Senior Biden staffer called Palestinian suicide bombings ‘the last resort of a desperate people’

Dodin is a volunteer for Biden's transition team and currently serves as Deputy Chief of Staff for Sen. Dick Durbin

President-elect Joe Biden's pick for Deputy Director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs referred to Palestinian suicide bombings as "the last resort of a desperate people" in 2002.

"The suicide bombers were the last resort of a desperate people," Reema Dodin said while speaking at a church in Lodi, Calif., according to the Lodi News-Sentinel.

She was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, at the time.

"The American public has a history of being a fair-minded people, but the information the public is getting is biased, awful and wrong," Dodin said according to the Lodi News-Sentinel. "If you're going to present this information to the public, you need to do it in a holistic manner."

Articles from The Daily Californian and The Berkeley Daily Planet link Dodin to demonstrations in support of Palestinians, including the occupation of a university building to demand the University of California divest from Israel in 2000. Thirty suicide bombings killed 195 people in Jerusalem between October 2000 and October 2005, according to the International Crisis Group.

“They say they want peace, but it’s a peace based on their rules,” Dodin, who was identified as a demonstrator, said in response to a counter-demonstration by the Israeli Action Coalition, according to The Berkeley Daily Planet.

Thirty-two demonstrators were arrested at the demonstration, The Berkeley Daily Planet reported.

Dodin was born in North Carolina to Palestinian immigrant parents, according to the Lodi News-Sentinel.

Dodin is a volunteer for Biden's transition team and serves as deputy chief of staff for Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. She also volunteered for the Obama campaign.

“War is back on, folks.”

There is no money to be made with peace.

There has never before in history been a nation named Palestine...it is only a region...The so-called “Palestinian” people are a mix of Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Lebanese, Syrian, and Saudi peoples...

I sure hope the US gets in another war in the sandbox.

Will our military be required to wear masks and remain 6 feet apart?
Hopefully social distancing can be entered into the Geneva Convention articles...

"They say they want peace, but it’s a peace based on their rules”

Funny, that's how we describe the contemptible Democrat overtures of "Unity" in the past month.

So I guess then it’ll be okay for us to do it against our tyrannical government.

I wonder what he thinks of tens of millions of 2nd Amendment lovers who just saw an election stolen from them.
