Agree.
Hope they hold a presser!
Harris will get more of the Jewish vote than Biden...wait and see.
Its all about the Michigan votes. That is why Kamala will not meet with him.
yeah Bibi’s the lesser evil for national Israel, especially now that he’s working exclusively on the right.
but i sure hope Trump reminds the guy with a smile and a firm handshake that he gets exactly one more pass and forgiveness for politically stabbing America in the back in 2020. no second chances.
Both Biden and Kamala claim they'll meet Netanyahu later in the week, somewhere. In some ways following an old Democrat Presidential tradition.
Harry and Bess: Never in My House
When the United Nations was discussing the partition of Palestine in 1947, a representative of the provisional government in Eretz Yisrael came to Jacobson and urged him to speak with his former partner, now the new President, and request that he support the Jewish right to a state in Palestine.Related threadsEddie Jacobson met with Harry Truman on the doorsteps of Truman’s home in Missouri. He was not invited to enter the house and had to speak at length to the President outside on the steps of the house.
Bess Truman refused to let Jews into her house, even Jews whom she knew and may have liked. She remarked, “no Jew ever entered my mother’s house and no Jew will ever enter my house”.
IDF confirms: Head of Hamas military arm in Tulkarem eliminated
I didn’t realize that was Bess’ outlook on Jews.
Whew!
Sounds like a good time to send her on a cruise to
nowhere.
Late 19th, early/mid 20th century. Different times. Obviously Harry was comfortable with it. There was a Hollywood producer or maybe author or newscaster who had the same experience, at home. Truman did have Jews to the White House. Personal quarters probably not, but I don’t think that was an issue till Bill Clinton started renting the Lincoln Bedroom out.
Harry might have been racist and anti-Semitic, but he did the right things despite all that. He’s one of the few modern Democrats that I respect. Brandon, hell no.
I had a feeling this would happen. Good on. Godspeed
This was in 1947, while the death camps of the Holocaust were still being assessed. Her expressed attitude given “the times” was despicable and inexplicable bigotry.
I don’t have much patience with racism.
I’m glad I didn’t have to face trashing people who were
racists back then.
Yes, it’s despicable but easily explicable. Her times was the first half of the 20th century, in 47 she was in her ealy 60s. Her entire life Jews were discriminated against in employment, college admission, and socially. Not just in club exclusion but in social exclusion. It would be admirable were she different, or if her husband made her bend the “rules”, but not surprising. That was early 20th century America. Which was far better than early 20th century Europe.
I too was angry with Bibi for his rush to congratulate Biden on his “victory” when the outcome was still being challenged by Trump and others, and I still am. But Trump sees the bigger picture and knows that when it comes to geopolitics, he doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring world leaders. Perhaps Trump will say something to Bibi about it behind closed doors, but there are issues of larger importance that have to be dealt with. Bibi, whatever anyone thinks about him, is the leader of Israel, a nation of significance on the geopolitical stage.
How can a Jew stay on the Democratic plantation and not have reservations?
Capo Josh Shapiro.
It is’nt about loyalty/tribe it’s about power.
Democrats expect the same from Muslims,notice what a morally loose woman Ilhan Omar is.
In other words, Dear ole BiBi disses Trump once again and talks to the Chief Vegetable who didn’t want to talk to him first.
PM of the state of Israel
I can understand why BiBi would want to meet Biden first, he is the sitting President even though he is the sitting vegetable
The far Left in Israel will never win another election. Even the fake Center-Leftists feel compelled to shamelessly pretend to be tougher on jihadis than Netanyahu.
The White Askenaz Socialist Post-Zionist elites in media, law, and senior military are desperately trying to foment a Color Revolution and impose their ‘natural aristocracy’ on disenfranchised Mizrachi/Sefardi ‘peasants’.
