Joe Biden: Zionist Working Toward a Two-State Solution
After almost 3 years in office, Joe Biden has been working with the Israeli opposition leader, Yair Lapid, for a 2 State Solution and to indict Benjamin Netanyahu.
Even though Joe Biden is a Zionist, he’s a Zionist dedicated to a two-state solution. The Democrat coalition includes anti-Zionist and even pro-Palestinian voters that Biden cannot afford to alienate in 2024. They will reign in his pro-Zionist tendencies.
As the saying goes… The first thing lost in any war is the truth. I think the second thing lost is nuance. Palestinians blame all Israelis for the Likud regime and Israelis blame all Palestinians for the Russia and Likud funded HAMAS. The majority of HAMAS and Likud funding come from outside money interests, not the people they claim to represent.
Ideally, Israel would be one secular state with equal rights for everyone, but Benjamin Netanyahu funded HAMAS and increased illegal settlements to ensure that will never happen. Innocent Israelis don’t trust the Palestinians and the Palestinians definitely do not trust the Israelis. So, the only option is a two-state solution against all the efforts of the Netanyahu regime.
Now, that Joe Biden has been in office for almost 3 years, we have a better understanding of his plans for this region. Biden continued to shun Netanyahu (until recently) while working with the Israeli centrist and Netanyahu opposition leader Yair Lapid. When Lapid served as the 14th Prime Minister of Israel from 1 July to 29 December 2022, it was the first time a US President and an Israeli Prime Minister were both dedicated to a 2 State Solution.
With the constant calls from the Israeli press calling for Netanyahu to resign and all the pro-Palestinian protests in the West. Business as usual is over for the Zionists and that’s a good sign.
Towards the bottom of the Substack, I go through the interesting articles I found about the Netanyahu opposition leader Yair Lapid. Guess who was the Israeli TV host that interviewed the 9/11 “Dancing Israelis,” rails against “Jewish terrorism,” testified against Netanyahu, and called for a 2 State solution at the UN? Yair Lapid

“Lapid’s immediate predecessor, Naftali Bennett, attempted to undo what Netanyahu had wrought, journeying to Washington for a friendly meeting with the president. But Bennett, the leader of a right-wing faction, was not a natural Biden ally. The centrist Lapid is: He and Biden are the first president-prime minister pair to truly support a Palestinian state in nearly 15 years.”

“As Israel has become a full-fledged military partner, the U.S. intelligence community is also putting more emphasis on its Hebrew language program to spy on its number-one Mideast ally…
"Israel is coming out of the closet, allowed now to openly cooperate with the [U.S.] military while at the same time being denied access to another closet," says a senior intelligence official, referring to the world of American intelligence. The official, who requested anonymity to discuss military planning, says that for some things, such as targeting, exchanges are part of the new military alliance. But where U.S.-Israeli interests might diverge, such as counterintelligence against Israeli spying, or uncovering secrets about Israel's own nuclear arsenal, the United States has redoubled its collection efforts.”

The Biden administration has been under pressure from progressive Democrats to punish Israel for its policies affecting Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and U.S. Jewish groups have voiced concern over Netanyahu's proposals for the courts.”

U.S. Blacklists Two Spyware Firms Run by an Israeli Former General - The New York Times (nytimes.com) - July 18, 2023
“The Biden administration added two Europe-based hacking firms controlled by an Israeli former general to a Commerce Department blacklist on Tuesday, its latest effort to try to rein in a spyware industry that has spiraled out of control in recent years.
The two firms, Intellexa and Cytrox, are at the center of a political scandal in Greece, where government officials have been accused of using their hacking tools against journalists and political opponents.
Under the terms of the blacklist, American companies are largely prohibited from doing business with the designated firms, a move designed to starve them of the U.S. technology — such as servers and cloud storage — they need to continue operations. In November 2021, the White House blacklisted the Israeli firm NSO Group, the most well-known purveyor of hacking tools.
Both Intellexa and Cytrox are controlled by Tal Dilian, a former general in the Israeli military intelligence who was forced to retire from the Israeli Defense Forces in 2003 after an internal investigation raised suspicions that he had been involved in funds mismanagement, according to three former senior officers in the Israeli military…
Unlike NSO, which is based in Israel, Mr. Dilian’s firms are not subject to Israeli regulations, and the former general was able to exploit the scandals surrounding the abuses of NSO’s Pegasus to his advantage. When the Israeli government began to limit the number of nations that NSO could sell its products to, Mr. Dilian filled the void by selling his competing spyware to those countries.
Mr. Dilian enters and leaves Israel as he chooses, and members of his team have been aggressive in trying to recruit top hackers from Israel-based firms.”
Biden Acts to Restrict U.S. Government Use of Spyware - The New York Times (nytimes.com) - March 27, 2023
“President Biden on Monday signed an executive order restricting American government use of a class of powerful surveillance tools that have been abused by both autocracies and democracies around the world to spy on political dissidents, journalists and human rights activists.
The tools in question, known as commercial spyware, give governments the power to hack the mobile phones of private citizens, extracting data and tracking their movements. The global market for their use is booming, and some U.S. government agencies have studied or deployed the technology…
The executive order prohibits federal government departments and agencies from using commercial spyware that might be abused by foreign governments, could target Americans overseas or could pose security risks if installed on U.S. government networks. The order covers only spyware developed and sold by commercial entities, not tools built by American intelligence agencies. The order is not a blanket prohibition, and it allows for American agencies to use commercial spyware in some cases.
For instance, the Drug Enforcement Administration has deployed an Israeli-made tool called Graphite, made by the firm Paragon, as part of its counternarcotics operations. American officials have indicated they have no plans to terminate the D.E.A.’s use of the tool, but would revisit the decision if evidence emerges that Paragon’s hacking tools have been abused by other governments.
In December, Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee at the time, wrote to the head of the D.E.A. requesting more information about the agency’s use of the tool. That month, Congress passed a bill that gave the director of national intelligence the power to prohibit the intelligence community from purchasing foreign spyware, and required the director of national intelligence to submit to Congress a “watch list” identifying foreign spyware firms that pose risks to American intelligence agencies.”
Yair Lapid is an Israeli politician, a former journalist, and TV host. He has been the Leader of the Netanyahu Opposition since January 2023 and served as the 14th Prime Minister of Israel from 1 July to 29 December 2022. Lapid testified against Benjamin Netanyahu last summer for his corruption when Lapid served as Bibi’s Minister of Finance from 2013-2014.
When Yair Lapid was a TV host, he interview the 9/11 “Dancing Israelis” and even rails against “Jewish Terrorism.” Some will say, “He’s controlled opposition.” Is there controlled opposition? Absolutely. Is everyone controlled opposition? No.

Prime Minister Yair Lapid said a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was “the right thing” for Israel, addressing the world from the United Nations General Assembly’s high-level meeting Thursday…
“An agreement with the Palestinians, based on two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel’s security, for Israel’s economy and for the future of our children,” he declared.
Who Is Yair Lapid, Israel’s Would-Be Prime Minister? - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Published May 5, 2021 Updated June 12, 2021
Mr. Lapid’s party, Yesh Atid (There is a Future), won 17 seats in the inconclusive election, Israel’s fourth in two years. But its path to power is hampered by the disparate nature of the anti-Netanyahu bloc, which is made up of numerous small parties with clashing agendas. Some of its right-wing elements view Mr. Lapid as too left-wing to lead an alternative government.
Mr. Netanyahu had cast his own campaign as a head-to-head contest against Mr. Lapid, dismissing him as a lightweight.
Mr. Lapid ran a quiet campaign calling for preserving liberal democracy and thwarting Mr. Netanyahu’s stated goal of forming a government made up of right-wing and religious parties, reliant on ultra-Orthodox rabbis and ultranationalist extremists.
Mr. Lapid has also called to protect the judiciary from Mr. Netanyahu, who is standing trial on corruption charges and who, together with his right-wing and religious allies, intended to curb the powers of the Supreme Court and possibly seek some kind of immunity from prosecution.
Speaking to party activists before the election, Mr. Lapid described the coalition that Mr. Netanyahu wanted to form as “an extremist, homophobic, chauvinistic, racist and anti-democratic government,” and said, “it’s a government where nobody represents working people, the people who pay taxes and believe in the rule of law.”

“For eight seasons, the eponymous show didn’t break any rules of the genre or reinvent Israeli television.

Unlike the U.S. hosts he was imitating, he insisted on never wearing a jacket and always stuck to his black sweater.”
Lapid testifies at Netanyahu corruption trial: PM said Milchan tax law was 'good' - The Times of Israel - 12 June 2023
Opposition leader Yair Lapid testified in court on Monday at the corruption trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about his interaction with the prime minister in 2013, when the Yesh Atid chief served as finance minister.
In his opening statement, Lapid reiterated what he had previously told police investigating Case 1000, in which Netanyahu is accused of attempting to grant a tax break to Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan in exchange for lavish gifts from the billionaire tycoon.
“There were two occasions, once when we sat in Balfour [in the Prime Minister’s Residence], and one time at the entrance to the cabinet meeting” when Netanyahu asked Lapid about the situation in regard to Milchan, the current opposition leader testified.
Revealed: Arnon Milchan - the Hollywood producer behind hits Pretty Woman, Fight Club and LA Confidential who became a real-life James Bond | The Independent | The Independent - 22 November 2013
Although Milchan’s clandestine career was widely known, he had never confessed to it in public until now. The Israeli investigative documentary series Uvda (“Fact”) will broadcast an interview next week, in which Milchan revealed that he facilitated arms deals on behalf of Israel, beginning in the 1960s…
In the mid-1980s, Milchan’s involvement in the arms trade became public knowledge, after a California aerospace executive was caught making illegal shipments of nuclear triggers through one of his companies, but the Reagan administration eventually dropped any charges against Milchan, and in 1987 Lekem was disbanded.
Yair Lapid interviews the dancing Israelis:
We must work with and support the people who align with our goals and hold them accountable when they stray from their stated objectives. No one is going to be a perfect candidate. Joe Biden has been in politics for 40+ years and I’m sure he’s done a lot of shady and illegal stuff during that time. All we can do is lobby and be actively engaged in the political process.
We know the Mossad was there to film the planes crashing into the twin towers, which proves they had foreknowledge and didn’t notify the U.S. government. It was the Russian FSB (KGB) who perpetrated the 1999 false flag Moscow “Chechen terrorist” attacks that brought Vladimir Putin to power. It was the Russian FSB who trained the “real brains” behind Al Qaeda and 9/11, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in 1997. Felix Dzerzhinsky led the Soviet secret police organization, the Cheka, was born on 9/11. Dzerzhinsky was one of the architects of the Red Terror. Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu has a close relationship with both Russia and Vladimir Putin.
Just like I am against reprisals against innocent Palestinians for the actions of HAMAS, I am also against reprisals against innocent Israelis for the actions for the Likud regime. But I do think the American people, U.S. military veterans, and the innocent Arab victims of the Global War on Terror all deserve the truth about 9/11 and the Zionist plan of Oded Yinon and A Clean Break for the Middle East. I am also against the Biden administration’s victim blaming. US military veterans and minorities have both been victimized by foreign intelligence and domestic psychological warfare operations, but only veterans are being vilified and it needs to stop. This isn’t the first time the U.S. government has experimented on minorities or veterans, and they are owed restitution. I would like to see class action lawsuits.
Veterans and even some minorities who thought they were doing the right thing are still behind bars, while the architects of the psychological warfare such as Alex Jones, Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Steve Pieczenik, Jack Posobiec, General Jim Jones, Joel Zamel, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladmir Putin, and all their Republican and even some Democrat collaborators are still walking around free.
Indicting Donald Trump and Democrat Senator Bob Menedez isn’t nearly enough. Do better Merrick Garland and treat the victims of psychological warfare… like actual victims.
-D.C.
I still think the HAMAS attack is Russian (and Netanyahu) retaliation against Yair Lapid covertly arming Ukraine and calling out Russian war crimes.
