Jewish support for Biden is inexplicable
Politics is a strange endeavor. Far too many people choose a party affiliation much the way a fan selects a sports team, then blindly supports that team throughout his lifetime. Such is the case with many in the Jewish community and their unbridled fealty to the Democrat party.
Many working class Jewish families from the 1950s until this day were and are staunch supporters of the Democrat party. The reasoning? Most grew up learning about President Truman's recognition of Israel, Adlai Stevenson's requited love of the Jewish state, as well as other pro-Israel Democrats such as Lyndon Johnson and Henry 'Scoop' Jackson. To Jews of that era, it was a no-brainer to support and endorse the Democrat party. But make no mistake: the "Dems" of today are no longer the party of your parents and grandparents, and Joe Biden is certainly no Adlai Stevenson.
Setting aside a 47-year record of unsurpassed prevarication in the Senate and as vice president in the most anti-Israel administration, Biden by his own words and deeds does not represent either the interests of the United States or those of the state of Israel.
In a since-taken-down video campaign ad this past July, Biden stated: "Muslim voices matter." "I will include having Muslim American voices as part of my administration." As this two-minute and twenty-six-second political ad nears conclusion, photos of devout anti-Semites, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Linda Sarsour are flashed across the screen to a backdrop of music blaring, "We got the power."
The web is replete with musings from far-left media and pundits describing Biden as a friend of Israel. An example is a published article this past July entitled "Biden Calls Sanders' pitch to suspend military aid to Israel 'bizarre." In a speech made in rural northeastern Iowa, the former vice president is quoted saying, "The idea that I'd withdraw military aid, as others have suggested from Israel, is bizarre." However, either the former vice president has a deteriorating memory as some claim or he's an outright liar.
On June 22, 1982, then–Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. During the hearing, Senator Biden became infuriated with the Israeli prime minister over Israeli settlement policy in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and slammed his fist on a table, threatening to withhold American economic aid to the Jewish state over the issue. Begin angrily replied, "Don't threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work." Biden, displaying the temper he is now famous for, raised his voice and banged twice on the table in front of him. Begin forcefully admonished him: "Do you think that because the U.S. lends us money, it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened." It raises the question: which Biden are we to believe, the one threatening Israel in 1982, or the current incarnation running for president?
Truth be told, as a political hack on steroids, Biden's political record indicates he is beholden only to himself and whichever Democrat faction holds sway at a particular place in time. Currently, it's composed of the radical left and comprises outspoken anti-Semites such as the following, from whom Biden has had no problem accepting endorsements.

There is more.
Sobel explains more on the position of the anti-semite wing of the Democrat party from AOC, Omar, and Tlaib. What should also be noted is that Trump's policies have not only increased Israeli security but also led to peace agreements with Arab states that would have never happened under Obama-Biden policies. Biden has said he is going to reinstate Obama's terrible deal with Iran which endangers the whole Middle East including Israel. It was easily the dumbest deal ever and Biden is so lacking in intelligence as to want it back.
