Palestinian Historian Calls Biden BRAINWASHED By Israel Lobby

For the full discussion, please join us on Patreon at - Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi analyzes Joe Biden and what influences his view on Israel. He describes Biden as “someone who's clearly been brainwashed by the Israeli politicians and the lobbyists who have focused on him for his entire life, starting with Golda Meir. He has described her impact on him. We can go on what he’s said. He was taken by Golda. And I think he has a casual contempt for the Palestinians. Many of the things he's said are insulting and dehumanizing to the Palestinians. What he said about Palestinian casualties. He's a man who decided support of Israel was an important part of his political persona early on. And there are many, many, many statements by him, “if Israel didn't exist, we’d have to create it, I’m a Zionist” and so on. He’s surrounded himself with people like Blinken, like Sullivan, like Admiral Kirby, who have a contempt for and ignorance of the Arab world and of the Palestinians.” Rashid Khalidi () is the Edward Said professor of modern Arab studies at Columbia University and was an advisor to the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid and Washington Arab-Israeli peace negotiations from October 1991 until June 1993.
