Fake Biden in Apartheid Israel

by Stephen Lendman

Like hegemon USA and its Western vassals, Israel is a fantasy democracy, the real thing banned.

Jewish state Palestinian citizens are treated like fifth column threats.

Throughout Israeli history, they've been systematically denied rights afforded Jews — because they're unwanted Arabs.

Israeli regimes transformed Gaza into the world's largest open-air prison — terror-bombing, shelling and invading the Strip at its discretion.

The West Bank and East Jerusalem have been illegally occupied for over half a century.

US/Western regimes pretend not to notice.

Former Israeli official, Abba Eban, once remarked that "(t)here's no business like Shoah business."

The myth of unique Jewish suffering persists.

Holocaust imagery rationalizes crimes of war and against humanity, daily occupation harshness, dispossessions, and other flagrant international law violations.

Yom HaShoah/Holocaust Remembrance Day promoters are mindless of far greater genocides than what Jews endured in the run-up to and during WW II by Nazi Germany.

During the war, three times as many Slavs died as Jews. 

Along with the African holocaust from slavery and related atrocities, America's Native American genocide was one of the two largest-scale ones of all time, taking around 100 million lives.

What's been unmatched will only retain that status until deaths by kill shots take an unimaginable toll of lost lives worldwide — their numbers mounting exponentially.

Yet on arrival at Tel Aviv airport on Wednesday, the fake Biden mumbled and bumbled the following:

"Later today, I will (visit) the hallowed ground (sic) of Yad Sh- — Vashem to honor the 6 million Jewish lives that were stolen in a genocide and continue — which we must do every, every day — continue to bear witness, to keep alive the truth and honor (sic) of the holocaust — horror of the holocaust, honor those we lost so that we never, ever forget that lesson, you know, and to continue our shared, unending work to fight the poison of anti-Semitism wherever it raises its ugly head."  

"Wherever we find it in the world, we make real on the promise of 'never again' by taking it on."

What he left unsaid matters most. 

The poisonous ugly head of Russophobia, similar poison against other invented US enemies, its agenda of forever wars by hot and/or other means against nonbelligerent, nonthreatening nations is OK.

It's been longstanding policy by the empire of lies throughout its odious history.

Countless tens of millions of lost lives attest to its megalomaniacal drive for global hegemony — no matter the human toll. 

On Wednesday, B'Tselem said it "put up billboards and digital screens in the West Bank cities of Bethlehem and Ramallah…reading:

"Mr. (fake US) president, this is apartheid," adding:

Hegemon USA "treats Israel as though it were running two separate regimes side by side:" 

"(A fantasy) democracy (within its  borders) and militar(ized) occupation (in the Occupied Palestinian Territories)."

From the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, apartheid Israel "impose(s) Jewish supremacy over (long-suffering) Palestinians."

Without hegemon USA/Western political, financial and military support, the Jewish state "would not have been able to politically, geographically and demographically re-engineer the area under its control."

Nor would it have been able "to impose militar(ized) rule over millions of" Palestinians, brutalizing, exploiting and denying them international law affirmed rights "for 55 years."

Nor would Israel have been able to illegally annex East Jerusalem or discriminate against its Palestinian citizens in countless other ways.

B'Tselem Executive Director Hagai El-Ad earlier stressed the following: 

"The human rights community reached an updated consensus, shared across the board by Palestinian, Israeli and international organizations, that reality" in the Jewish state and territory it illegally occupies "constitutes apartheid." 

Yet one US regime after another — since Harry Truman recognized Israeli statehood on stolen Palestinian land on May 15, 1948 — "back(ed) Israel with international support and immunity."

Turning a blind eye to its apartheid viciousness, the world community of nations largely accepts its human rights breaches without demanding accountability. 

When and if the empire of lies and its Western vassals "change (their) attitude to(ward) Israel…so will the regime," said B'Tselem.

It stressed that it's long past time to call the Jewish state "what it is: apartheid."

Separately, the Adalah Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel said the following:

Ahead of the fake Biden's visit to the apartheid state, "descendants of original owners, who include US citizens and Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem, demand the immediate cancellation of (a) joint US-Israeli plan for (an empire of lies) embassy in Jerusalem on (stolen) Palestinian private property."

Time magazine said the following:

The fake Biden's visit "is a textbook case of sacrificing values for realpolitik."

Claiming that he'll discuss a two-state solution with Israel ignored longstanding US/Jewish state opposition to the notion — with no joint regime support ahead for what's always been rejected.

Instead on Thursday, the fake Biden and PM Lapid will sign a joint declaration for continued US handouts of annual billions of dollars in support of Israeli apartheid and regional war-making against invented enemies.

They'll also sign a joint pledge to prevent Iran from going nuclear — knowing that the Islamic Republic's program isn't militarized.

Nor is there any intention to change what's been longstanding policy.

Along with hegemon USA's military presence in the Middle East, apartheid Israel is the region's only nuclear armed and dangerous country.

While Iran and Russia intend to increase mutual nuclear cooperation, it's strictly for nonmilitary applications by the Islamic Republic.

Separately in response to reported US-coordinated regional efforts that are hostile to nonbelligerent, nonthreatening Iran, its parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said the following:

"Evidence available to us shows that this trip has been fully arranged by the Zionists and that the (fake Biden) is implementing agendas and projects that the Zionist regime, which is the biggest enemy of the region's nations, has outlined and dictated in full detail."

"Turning into an executive of Israeli policies in the region will be a historic and strategic mistake on the part of (hegemon USA), one which will be detrimental to the Biden (regime) before anyone else."

His visit to the apartheid state further affirms unbending US support for its hostile to regional peace and stability agenda — along with its viciousness against long-suffering Palestinians.
