Biden - "our absolute, total, unvarnished commitment to Israel's security"

[Anti Federalist]

"The cornerstone of the relationship is our absolute, total, unvarnished commitment to Israel's security," he said. In the guestbook at Peres' residence, Biden wrote that the U.S.-Israeli bond is "unshakeable."


"It's great to be home," Biden told President Shimon Peres during a morning visit to his official residence.

Swear allegiance to a foreign government...

[Don't Tread on Mike]

sure its not right to swear allegiance, but then again he is also swearing allegiance to his religion. Israel is also the holy land for Christianity ya know. SO i think that statement is more of an opinion than a policy.

It's the vice president of the United States openly stating "unshakable" fealty to a foreign nation's security at the expense of his own.

That is treason.

Christianity has no earthly "home". Stuff happened in that geographic region, sure. but that is history.

And it's so commonplace now that it doesn't even merit questioning.

Imagine if he'd said the same about China, Russia, hell, even France or Germany. He'd be raked over the coals and likely have to step down in the ensuing scandal.

Israeli nuclear "whistleblower", Mordechai Vanunu, calls the USA "The American Colony" for some reason. He also said that he converted to Christianity because its the opposite of Judaism and that Judaism as no place in the modern world...

I am sure Israel has some sort of "honorary" citizenship program for our elected officials and their staff:rolleyes:

Back in 2004, I read that there were lines upon lines upon lines of Israeli's, in Israel, lining up to become "dual" U.S. citizens so that they could vote for Bush jr. in the 2004 U.S. elections.

Later I read that one of the states in the northern midwest (I forget which one-- maybe Ohio?-- not sure) went for Bush jr. because of those dual citizenships and that that had pushed Bush over the edge to win in 2004.
