Netanyahu Calls Biden a 'Proud Irish-American Zionist' in Meeting

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to US President Joe Biden as a “proud Irish-American Zionist” during a meeting at the White House on July 25. Netanyahu thanked Biden for his support of Israel and pledged to continue working together at a meeting marking the US leader’s first sit-down with a foreign counterpart since forgoing reelection.

“From a proud Jewish Zionist to a proud Irish-American Zionist, I want to thank you for 50 years of public service and 50 years of support for the state of Israel,” Netanyahu said Thursday in the Oval Office.

Netanyahu said the two had “known each other for 40 years,” adding, “I look forward to working with you in the months ahead.”

Despite the public display of goodwill, the two leaders have clashed over Israel’s conduct of the war against Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the US and European Union. The meeting comes at a politically fraught time for Biden’s party.

Get it right. That's what Joe called himself in a prior meeting. See Bibi's address to Congress.

And just why would he thank him for That, they are not supposed to be on the same team, but separate nations, and it would be more apropriate to be thanked by his own countrymen, so he wouldn't be accused or suspected of treason. Getting thanked by your enemy for your service says it pretty clear to us, like they get lorded by the brits, that is the same

But are the Irish "proud" of what Biden has done? I'd like to mention what the Irish MP's have called Biden, but then my comment will be deleted, as most of them are!!
