I have always been a stalwart supporter of Israel—a vital partner that shares our democratic values. No democracy should deny entry to visitors based on the content of their ideas—even ideas they strongly object to. And no leader of the free world should encourage them to do so.

1. Thank you, Joe Biden!

Mahalo,

6. Relatively bland compared with Speaker Pelosi's

“As one who loves Israel, I am deeply saddened by the news that Israel has decided to prevent Members of Congress from entering the country.

“Last month, Israeli Ambassador Dermer stated that, ‘Out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any Member of Congress into Israel.’ This is a sad reversal and is deeply disappointing. I pray that the Government of Israel will reverse that denial.

“Israel’s denial of entry to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar is a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel. The President’s statements about the Congresswomen are a sign of ignorance and disrespect, and beneath the dignity of the Office of the President.”

8. For gosh sakes, is that disparaging remark about Biden really necessary?

[crazytown]

9. I was not intending to be disparaging.

VP Biden's Statement is welcome, but having read Pelosi's, issued earlier in the day, I was surprised he didn't go in harder.

[still_one]

10. To me it came across that way. I believe we will find 99% of the Democratic Congress people

opposed to this banning, as they should

[still_one]

13. I apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion

[crazytown]

14. I've taken your points on board

and can see your point of view.

[still_one]

19. Thanks, but it was a misunderstanding on my part

[crazytown]

20. These days, I'll take the hardest statements I can get,

whether it is by Joe, Nancy, or Beto. I posted something today I never thought I would say about a president: The man is a monster.

[still_one]

21. Yes he is

[yellowdogintexas]

17. Nancy isn't running for President either

which means she can bring out the claws so to speak

[Cha]

26. Good point.. I still think it's

a strong statement from Joe Biden.

[Demsrule86]

11. Do you wait for these threads so you can get in a nasty crack?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

35. Yep. You are correct.

[notdarkyet]

7. We. Let Russians in the White House.

[Grokenstein]

15. Keep hammering home two points:

First, criticism of Netted Yahoo doesn't make you anti-Semitic.

Second, Netted is kowtowing to God Emperor Dummy Boy. He's down on his hands and knees, groveling, washing his tongue back and forth over Dummy Boy's cruddy footwear. He's desperate to curry favor from a sick moron who retweets Nazis and hires them as advisors. Lick lick lick lick lick those Nazi-lover's shoes, Benjy.

The first point is obvious, to stay ahead of the FOXHenhouse accusations that inevitably come after anyone who criticizes Israeli government policy.

The second--if it doesn't make him rescind this nonsense, it might at least make him feel shame for once in his life.

16. Trump maneuvering should be addressed directly

The US Constitution does not grant the President the power to determine Congressional travel and meetings. Period.

Don't blame Israel. Blame Trump for not standing up for our US elected representatives and their right to do their jobs.

At its core it is a separation of powers issue.

[pangaia]

18. I would disagree a little about this

NO NAZIs !!!!

[Pepsidog]

22. Come one Joe you can do better than that.

[rockfordfile]

23. I agree with Joe Biden

[jcmaine72]

24. I disagree with Joe on this point....

No, Israel does not share our Democratic values, at least, not when we're at our best minus a Russian plant and white supremacist in the WH.

However, I do understand why Joe must kiss that particular ring above all others. Sad, but that's the reality of American politics right now.

25. 'Israel--a vital partner that shares our democratic values.'

Six nations hatched a plot to elect Trump. The plot was hatched in 2015; the nations involved were Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt. The leaders of these countries were all involved.

Israeli, Saudi, and Emirati Officials Privately Pushed For Trump To Strike A Grand Bargain With Putin

Three of these six nations—Russia, Israel, the UAE—had infiltrated deep into the Trump campaign by March 2016: Russia through Dimitri Simes; the UAE through Yousef al-Otaiba; Israel through Kushner, Groner, and Birnbaum. The campaign understood the plan these nations had.

28. Our democratic partner. Yes. The Mueller Report is a must-read for every American.

Too bad we only got the redacted report and short congressional hearings. I don't even remember hearing any nation but Russia mentioned. So much overload. Thanks for those links. You should make this a stand-alone OP.

[Celerity]

29. its already was an OP

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212154370

It adds complexity to the narrative and gores some sacred cows, so I have little hope it it will be widely shared in the MSM, let alone become a key piece to the puzzle.

Like I always say, I am one cynical as hell young woman.

[Autumn]

30. Thanks for that link, I missed it. It's wise to be cynical in this time of unbridled corruption

and greed.

36. brand new piece to the puzzle

27. Excellent Example Of The Ricochet Effect Of The Muslim Ban

Mr. Biden's words ring so hollow within tЯumpland because "deny entry to visitors based on the content of their ideas" is EXACTLY what the Muslim ban achieves. Sickening!

[Vegas Roller]

32. On the contrary

Biden is using one slingshot to kill two birds.

[Vegas Roller]

31. Now that is the way a savvy diplomat phrases it

without threats of yanking aid which another candidate did.

Bravo, Joe.

[myohmy2]

33. tepid...

...very tepid...

...now listen to Bernie's response...

...now that's a Presidential response...

...Bernie...

[peggysue2]

34. Kick!

Good one on Joe.
