Say It Ain't So, Joe

Here's a side of Joe Biden I hadn't heard about. Pat Lang's story of witnessing first hand how Biden lost it when the subject of Israel/Palestinians came up in a meeting sounds plausible; and troubling.

Leanderthal,

Not sure if you will get the image that I have attached at the bottom of this comment. It is a map representation of the territory of Palestine and Israel from 1947 to 2003.

I think it sums up what is going on there more than anything written.
We really should ask the question, “Are the taxpayers and our country being taken for a ride by Israel?”

I don't see the image here so there must be some problem getting it into the comments section. I will try to find a link. It is a worthwhile image.

Old Dude,

I've published your comment and no image shows up. You can send it to me via email,leander537@yahoo.com if you'd like. I'll try to post it from the email.

Leanderthal,

Below is a link to a brief history (with a map) of the Israel vs. Palestinian conflict.
It is not too hard to figure out. No matter what the politics have been, the Palestinian’s
are loosing their historic home.

There are other versions of this on the Internet as well. Personally I do not want to become “angry” because of the situation over there; but do feel that the Citizens and Taxpayers of the USA should ask the question, “Why are we being forced to aid and abet this pathetic situation?”.
