sraelNN.com) Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin (Likud) said Thursday he was “very worried” by the applause that a Tel Aviv University audience gave Vice President Joe Biden when he expressed his condemnation of construction in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood of Jerusalem. “I am concerned about the erosion of the red lines we set for ourselves and the lessening of the understanding of Israel's strategic needs, about which there can be no compromise,” he said.

The moment Rivlin referred to can be seen in the accompanying video, when Biden says that Palestinian Authority leaders' “commitment to peace” is “an opportunity that must be seized, it must be seized. Who has there been better to date?..."

I’m worried about the applause too. Whoever thought of sending Biden to Israel should be fired. He’s a fool.

No people has had more traitors amongst it than the Jews, from Dathan and the Golden Calfers at the time of Moses, to Kadima and the Socialists of today. What Israel needs is another purge, Old Testament-style.

God won’t turn his back on Israel.

The Jews will be all right.

Mr. Biden, however, is most likely the biggests horse’s ass that the Almighty ever conceived. My word, but he is a gas bag.

Why do allegedly sentient beings keep saying this? They ignore the elephant in the living room, which is the PA's writ does not run through the Pali territories and Hamas has no intention of making peace with Israel.

Pray, but also call the White House. Biden regurgitated what everyone else since the inception of Israel has stated, “There is no better time for peace.” Those that have proclaimed this don’t fully comprehend that the Arabs don’t want peace. They want the destruction of Israel and the erradication of the Jews. Obama and Biden are clueless.

IMO it's appropriate to applaud the Vice President of an ally, the speaker is a fool

It may be appropriate to applaud the Vice President of an ally but is it appropriate to applaud the enemy of your own policy?

Neither Joe Biden nor the United States is Israel’s enemy.

I didn't say that he was.

Do you applaud the enemy of your policy?

The policies of the Obama Administration are, IMHO, most certainly detrimental to the health and welfare of Israel and it's population.

Thanks Nachum.
