Time Text
Hi, this is Dennis Prager, and this is what you missed yesterday on the show.
Is there anybody in the Democratic Party who gives you hope?
Well, I think Joe Biden, deep down, really does support Israel.
He was, however, Obama's vice president, and Obama really stabbed Israel in the back.
You know, he told me in an Oval Office meeting before his re-election, he said, Alan, I have Israel's back, and I tell that story in my book.
And I say, but I didn't realize that he had Israel's back to paint the target on it and put a knife through it.
What he did in the last days of office, by not vetoing that Security Council resolution, which says that the Western Wall is a legally occupied territory, the Jewish Quarter, the access roads to Hebrew University and Hadassah, are all grievously illegal occupation.
When I met with President Trump after he got elected, and he knew I didn't vote for him, I said, you must now recognize Jerusalem's capital of Israel.
That's the best you can do to turn back that horrible U.N. resolution that basically declares Jerusalem, the most important parts of it, to be a legally occupied territory.
I'm not saying it was I who convinced him to do that, but I certainly made that argument.
I also made the argument very strongly that he should recognize to go on as part of Israel.
Look, for me, bipartisanism means That you attack the persons you voted for, as I have attacked Obama, and you support and praise the people you voted against when they do the right thing.
Exactly.
