As 2024 fast approaches, Old Joe Biden is facing some serious obstacles to keep on pretending to be president until he is older than nearly three-quarters of our presidents were when they died. One of the most serious of these is that his far-left base, having been thoroughly miseducated to hate America and all that it stands for, also hates one of its staunchest allies, Israel, and is outraged that the Biden regime appears to be standing by the Jewish state. But Rashida Tlaib and her pals need not be concerned: in a bid to keep these Marxists in line and pulling the Biden lever, Old Joe just made a big push to keep their support.
The Daily Caller reported Saturday that the addled and aging corruptocrat “reportedly hung up on Prime Minister Netanyahu after a heated phone call about the Palestinian tax revenue dispute.” News of this latest embarrassment comes from “two U.S. and Israeli officials and a source with knowledge of the issue.” No one seems to be saying that Old Joe, in the fog of his galloping dementia, mistook Netanyahu for an annoyingly persistent telemarketer, so apparently the hang-up was entirely intentional.
The dispute revolves around the fact that “amid the Israel-Hamas war, the Israeli government has refused to release some tax revenues it collects for the Palestinian Authority that it says would go to the terrorist group Hamas.”
It’s understandable that such hesitation would anger Old Joe. After all, the Biden regime has never hesitated to shovel money to the Palestinians, without any regard for the possibility that it could end up in the hands of Hamas. The alleged president demonstrated, for anyone who was paying attention, which side he is really on when he went over to Israel in late October and met with Netanyahu. He took the opportunity to announce that he was giving $100 million to Gaza, which meant, regardless of his warnings that Hamas better not grab the money, that it would end up in Hamas’ coffers. There was no entity in Gaza that was not controlled by Hamas and that could both receive this money and keep it out of the hands of the terror group.
As if that weren’t bad enough, in mid-November, Old Joe and his henchmen sent $10 billion to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the chief funder of Hamas. If there was any doubt after that about the hollowness of the Biden regime’s support for Israel, it should have vanished with those billions, but Biden’s enraged base demanded more. Early in November, Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), who has said that the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre in Israel made him “happy,” threatened to cut off all Muslim support for four more years of the Biden regime: “The language that President Biden and his party understand is the language of votes in the 2023 elections and our message is: No cease-fire, no votes.” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) said the same thing: “The American people won’t forget. Biden, support a cease-fire now. Or don’t count on us in 2024.”
A ceasefire would give Hamas a breather and an opportunity to regroup, which is why the supporters Hamas want one, and why Israel doesn’t. And at very least, Old Joe wants Netanyahu to fork over more money to the Palestinians, without any regard for the possibility that it could end up in the hands of Hamas. “As a temporary solution,” noted the Daily Caller. “Biden suggested that the partial funds Israel is keeping go to Norway until an agreement is reached, a temporary compromise the Palestinian Authority has already accepted.” However, “after previously accepting the proposal, Netanyahu reportedly changed his mind and told Biden that he thinks the Palestinian Authority should accept what funds Israel wants to provide, adding that he doesn’t trust Norway.”
That was when Old Joe got angry. Biden said peremptorily, “this conversation is over,” and hung up. When word of that reaches Tlaib and her cohorts, there will no doubt be great rejoicing, and (regime wonks hope) no more of this talk of abandoning Biden unless he plunges a knife into Israel’s vitals. On the other hand, they may sense that Old Joe is coming around, and press him harder to abandon Israel altogether. Watch for the regime to take decisive steps to do just that in the near future.

“reportedly hung up on Prime Minister Netanyahu after a heated phone call about the Palestinian tax revenue dispute.”
It’s not likely Biden was the person on the phone. Everyone knows he’s not running this show.
Begin met with Biden, and vague reports described some sort of angry exchange. Begin’s recollections of that meeting were reported at the time in a mainstream Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Aharonot. Some of the details of what Begin recalls Biden telling him are genuinely shocking, but they seem to now be largely forgotten in Israel — especially a hypothetical Biden floated about the United States bombing cities in Canada. “If attacks were launched from Canada into the US,” Biden remarked, “everyone here would have said, ‘Attack all the cities of Canada, and we don’t care if all the civilians get killed.’”
As far as I can tell, these details have never been reported in the English-language press — until now.
When Biden Clashed With Begin
Writing in the Wall Street Journal a couple of weeks after the 2020 presidential election, presidential historian Tevi Troy recounts the meeting between Biden and Begin. Troy doesn’t quote Biden’s side of the conversation, although he vaguely talks about the future president “lectur[ing] the 68-year-old Begin about the settlements” Israel was building in occupied Palestinian territory in the West Bank and warning Begin that Israel might be in danger of losing support in the United States. Instead of giving us any real details about Senator Biden’s perspective, he talks a lot about the theatrics of the meeting — fingers jabbed, fists pounded on the table — and quotes Begin taking umbrage at the senator challenging him in any way. “I am not,” Begin told Biden, “a Jew with trembling knees.”
Without quoting any of his specific comments, Troy says that Biden warned Begin that “eroding support for Israel” might endanger future US aid. Begin seems to have taken this as a threat to cut off aid if Israeli policy didn’t change, and Troy quotes him railing that Israel would “stand by” its “principles . . . with or without your aid.”
Dont we deserve the names on the Politburo?
More like a psychopath his rage is always on the edge.
Biden is a meat puppet. It’s Obama and he is very loyal to his pals the “Pals”.
**Biden’s a punk, always has been.**
He must have been raised a spoiled brat. His touchy Feely with women/girls, says he thinks they want his touch.. He believes he is that special.. He believes he can lie, big lies.. He’s privileged.
He is an embarrassment.. To have this senile old man as the President of the United States of America.. He evidently does not know what he looks like.. He has sold my country.. Made millions on the deals..
One sick and demented......
bastard probably was not even aware he was having a conversation and just hung up the phone...
Yep, or he was trying to put it on speaker and hit the call end button.
It must be excruciating for Bibi to have to talk to or otherwise deal with Biden, a drooling decrepit moron with a nasty temper and very little reasoning skills left (as if he had ever been overly blessed with those!). And considering how that criminal POS Odungo treated him, leaving him alone in the dining room while Odungo just walked out, I’m sure that Bibi has come to expect such outrageous disrespect from the American government. They shame us all, on so many fronts.
No it probably was Joe himself. Anyone more competent would have had a more effective way of handling it than a display of childish petulance.
Assuming it is an accurate FACT that Iran and/or it’s proxies are attacking and killing US Service Men in Syria, Iraq and/or other places; AND, assuming it is accurate that the White House Marxists sent 10 billion US dollars to Iran at the behest of Biden WHILE these attacks were going on, then why isn’t ANYONE pressing for the immediate arrest of Biden? If sending 10 billion isn’t “aid and comfort” to Iran, what the hell is?
