Biden: The Zionist Irish Palestinian

“We have a long history not fundamentally unlike the Palestinian people, with Great Britain and their attitude toward Irish Catholics over the years for 400 years,” Biden said...

For the entirety of his decades-long career, Joe Biden has demonstrated one special skill: how to make everything about himself.

Whether he’s using his dead son, Beau Biden, as a stand-in for any number of military-related tragedies, or sharing ever-more-creative stories about discovering social liberalism through conversations with his father at increasingly younger ages — “Joey, it’s simple, they love each other,” Biden was supposedly told by his father when he saw two men kissing in public in the 1960s…despite then proceeding to oppose gay marriage throughout the vast majority of his political career — the pattern is clear: Biden constructs a narrative which just so happens to make him “just like you.”

And Biden provided perhaps the most absurd example of this habit during a visit to Jerusalem. After announcing $316 million in “aid” to the Palestinian authorities (and, let’s be honest, we know exactly where that money is going), Biden claimed that his family’s historical experience as Irish Americans was the same as that of the Palestinian people.

“We have a long history not fundamentally unlike the Palestinian people, with Great Britain and their attitude toward Irish Catholics over the years for 400 years,” Biden said.

We must assume that Biden wasn’t painting a similarity between the supposed attitude towards the Palestinians (presumably by Israel, a nation Biden was praising just hours beforehand) and Great Britain based on the acts of terrorism committed by both Palestinian organizations and Irish nationalist groups.

But what we can assume is that Biden was effectively saying “you’re persecuted, and my family were persecuted, so we’re the same.”
