(TRUNEWS) Vice President Joe Biden slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently at a gala event.
He blamed Netanyahu for taking Israel in “the wrong direction”, according to AP. The speech was given just hours after a terrorist bus bombing in Jerusalem where 21 people were wounded.
Biden blamed Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas for not condemning terror, but most of his outburst was aimed at Netanyahu, and claimed he is not sure how Israel can stay both Jewish and democratic.
“I firmly believe that the actions that Israel’s government has taken over the past several years — the steady and systematic expansion of settlements, the legalization of outposts, land seizures — they’re moving us and more importantly they’re moving Israel in the wrong direction,” Biden said, according to Fox News.
He said there will soon be a single state for Palestinians and Israelis where Jews will not be the majority.
The event where Biden gave his speech was put on by J Street, which is funded by George Soros. They claim to be a pro-Israel advocacy group, but they are accused by Rabbi Jonathan Greenberg of “being in bed with some real shady characters”, according to The Hill. He is the former Midwest political director for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
J Street has supported some questionable people and groups, including Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) who has defended Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, and Justice in Palestine, a group involved in the Israeli boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
