Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged “overwhelming frustration” with Israel’s government on Monday and said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration has led Israel in the wrong direction, in an unusually sharp rebuke of America’s closest ally in the Middle East.

Biden, in a speech to the advocacy group J Street, offered a grim outlook for peace efforts, reflecting dim hopes for progress during the remainder of the Obama administration. Although he said both Israelis and Palestinians shared blame for undermining trust and shirking responsibility, he was emphatic in his critique of Netanyahu’s government, suggested his approach raised “profound questions” about how Israel could remain both Jewish and democratic.

“I firmly believe that the actions that Israel’s government has taken over the past the past several years — the steady and systematic expansion of settlements, the legalization of outposts, land seizures — they’re moving us and more importantly they’re moving Israel in the wrong direction,” Biden said. …

Poor guy is so angry he can’t dictate terms to smaller nations around the globe and that some push back.

Leftists would call him an “imperialist.”

After they leave, they'll have to get some top-notch exorcists in there, post-haste.

It just dumbfounds me that the Dems traditionally get the overwhelming majority of the Jewish vote?

They get the liberal Jewish vote. Since liberals make up 90 percent of the US Jewish electorate, they have that sewn up, just like they have all of the liberal nominal Christian votes of all such denominations.

Leftist Jews in America HATE Zionism, HATE Israel, and HATE Netanyahu. That’s how Biden and Obama got their vote in 2008 and 2012. Leftist Jews in America, who are the majority Jews in America, firmly believe the Netanyahu government is fascistic. Probably even Mark Levin himself believes it. Since Trump has come out as a friend of Israel, Levin has been anti-Trump and pro-Cruz. Figures.

Sorry Joe,

You’re not even worthy to tie Netanyahu’s shoes.

No one cares about your opinion. Well before your current job you were viewed as one of the stupidest members of the entire legislature and there’s a pretty high bar for stupid there.

Is there a rock you can crawl back under?
