The ONLY thing that could happen for American Jews to support Israel.

"No matter how deeply involved you are in the U.S. … there’s only one guarantee ... and that's the state of Israel"
In the April issue of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg reports on a remarkable incident last fall at the residence of Vice President Joseph Biden. Speaking before guests—including leaders of Jewish organizations and Jewish officials in the Obama administration—invited to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Biden recalled meeting Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir when he was a young man in the Senate:
“I’ll never forget talking to her in her office with her assistant—a guy named Rabin—about the Six-Day War,” he said. “The end of the meeting, we get up and walk out, the doors are open, and … the press is taking photos … She looked straight ahead and said, ‘Senator, don’t look so sad … Don’t worry. We Jews have a secret weapon.’”
He said he asked her what that secret weapon was.
“I thought she was going to tell me something about a nuclear program,” Biden continued. “She looked straight ahead and she said, ‘We have no place else to go.’” He paused, and repeated: “‘We have no place else to go.’”
“Folks,” he continued, “there is no place else to go, and you understand that in your bones. You understand in your bones that no matter how hospitable, no matter how consequential, no matter how engaged, no matter how deeply involved you are in the United States … there’s only one guarantee. There is really only one absolute guarantee, and that’s the state of Israel.”

Come on Joe! Please, please, please, pretty please - RUN!!!!!
You did your time, you groveled, lied, browbeat and pandered for 8 years! It’s YOUR time now!.....
Please, please, please......we’ll take up a collection for you to get a new “short” bus you can tour around and campaign in, and we’ll even get you a new helmet with some cool decals on it!
Run!
Our guarantee is Hashem, the Lord of Hosts. Israel has disappeared before, but His promise to protect the Jewish people has not and can not disappear.
Problem is, so is everyone else in the Regime.
Joe’s nuts, alright.
The rest of the circus is deliberate.
So, push comes to shove and I’m supposed to rely on Ireland or Scotland for my safety? I don’t think so. I’ve got Ruger and Glock for that function. Mossberg and Bushmaster will pitch in as well.
Biden is worse than a crazy uncle. There’s no sensible aunt to corral him at his worst.
he’s not crazy- he’s a far left winger and as such is an anti-Semite, along with a bunch of self-loathing Jews...
I agree, but I guess I think that's a form of insanity, too.
But your point makes me wonder...perhaps he's just an ordinary, harmless buffoon, chosen to be the white face and the Catholic draw on those early campaign posters. In that case, hanging around with the rest of them must have put him over the edge.
He may be crazy, but he is also stupid and lacks the judgment to choose his words carefully.
I see that as a symptom of insanity.
He takes the heat off Obama and the WH.
Is he crazy? Or does he know what’s coming? My $$ is on the latter.

Like a backhanded warning?
But they won't say that to illegal immigrants, or to muslims.
Curious.
Is he saying laws in America don't apply to Jews in America? Wasn't that assertion, when made in Germany, the foundation of the Third Reich?
“American Jews should let Israel protect them “
That headline seemed like a stretch when I read the article.
They have plans for them as well, I gather.
Is it just me, or does this sound a lot like “get out, go to your place”?
Couple that with the Administration seeming to do everything it possibly can to see a nuclear-armed Iran, who has a publicly stated desire to erase Israel.
This is chilling.
It would certainly be enough to drive me over the edge...
