Biden And Israel, So Far No Good – The Lid

Based on his history as a senator and VP before he was elected, this site predicted a President Joe Biden would not be pro-Israel. Sadly, while Joe Biden has been President for only 25 months, early indications are that his post-office legacy won’t include “friend of Israel.” But then he never was.

Even before he joined Barack Obama on the 2008 ticket, Biden seemed to agree with the future President that the Israeli communities they called “settlements” were the root of all evil. The problem with that stance was that it prevented peace talks. During the Bush administration, there were Israel/Palestinian talks despite Israel expanding those communities. When Obama/Biden made the settlements an issue, it gave the Palestinians an excuse to stop talking, so they did.
