Joe Biden’s visit to east Jerusalem, without any Israeli official allowed to accompany him, and with the Israeli flag on his car replaced with a Palestinian one, was not meant to send a political message about the status of Jerusalem, according to the US Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides. A full report on Nides’ naively […]
Saudi Arabia: Jeddah summit ‘proves Arabs haven’t dumped the Palestinians’
There is nothing at all surprising about Palestinian Authority officials celebrating Arab leaders reaffirming their support for the Palestinians and a bogus two-state solution, an idea that the Palestinians have repeatedly rejected. Nor is there anything surprising about Joe Biden being part of the Jeddah Summit, amid Palestinian celebration. Even Democrat congresswoman Rashida Tlaib reportedly backs […]

Biden’s Trip to That Hospital in East Jerusalem
A disturbing part of Joe Biden’s visit to Israel was the trip he took to east Jerusalem to visit the Augusta Victoria Hospital. The hospital caters to Palestinian patients, and the media coverage – especially that from NPR’s Daniel Estrin — made it seem that Palestinian and Arab Israeli patients have no other options save […]
Biden Compares Jews to British Empire, ‘Palestinian’ Terrorists to Persecuted Irish
Biden’s visit to East Jerusalem was always going to be nasty. The visiting official refused to let Israelis accompany him to an event with “Palestinians” and just to drive the point home, his limo took off the Israeli flag, emphasizing that he does not recognize a united Jerusalem. US President Joe Biden’s motorcade no longer had Israeli flags […]
Biden’s Disastrous Press Conference with Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem
The least tolerable part of Biden’s recent trip to Israel and the West Bank, from the viewpoint of Israelis, was his speech at the end of his visit with Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem. A report on that speech is here: “Biden: I support two states based on pre-1967 lines,” by Tovah Lazaroff and Sarah Ben-Nun, […]
Presidential limo had US, Israeli flags in west Jerusalem, Israeli flag removed for visit to east Jerusalem
“That rejection was seen by many in Israel as signaling that he does not recognize Israeli sovereignty in that part of the city. However, when asked at a press conference on Thursday whether that is how the situation should be understood, he said no.” Biden is, as ever, a liar and a cowardly and opportunistic equivocator. “Biden visits east Jerusalem […]

Biden’s Israel Trip was a Failure Before He Even Arrived
A failed president meets with failed Israeli leftists and failed terrorists. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. This article was written before the trip began, but it all still holds true. Don’t touch me. Even though Biden […]
Biden Still Talks About Reopening the Jerusalem Consulate
Some people say they see signs of senility in Joe Biden. Surely one such sign is his continued insistence that he will be reopening the “consulate to the Palestinians” in Jerusalem that the Trump administration closed in 2018. He seems not to understand that he cannot do that without Israel’s express permission, and that Israeli […]
