‘DEBATE ME’: Jewish Voices For Trump Co-Chair Challenges ‘pro antisemitism’ Biden Camp

In an exclusive interview for SaraACarter.com, Jewish Voices for Trump co-chair Boris Epshteyn challenged his counterpart at Joe Biden’s presidential campaign to a debate, which he claims he refuses to accept.
This Biden Campaign didn’t respond to this reporter’s request for an interview with its Jewish Outreach Director, Aaron Keyak.
Current polling suggests President Trump is favored by nearly 30% of Jewish voters.
“That’s 5% higher than what President Trump got four years ago in 2016 and Joe Biden’s 67% support in that same poll is much lower than Hillary Clinton got in 2016 from Jewish Americans. And it would be, if that held on election day, would be the lowest Jewish American support for a Democrat since Michael Dukakis,” says Epshteyn.
With Keyak and Doug Emhoff, who’s headlined a number of Jewish voter outreach events for Biden and is married to his vice presidential pick Kamala Harris, Biden’s team is “sad,” Epshteyn said, adding “[Emhoff’s] only qualification I guess is being Kamala Harris’s husband.”
But, it”s also the fact that Biden and his party have aligned themselves with a number of antisemitic figures and it’s a cause for alarm, Epshteyn explained.
“In terms of where they stand, it’s clear,” Epshteyn said. “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris met with Jacob Blake Senior. He’s an antisemite. He’s a supporter of Louis Farrakhan who calls people like you and me termites.”
Blake Senior’s Facebook was found to be ripe with recent antisemitic posts lauding Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has called Jews ‘termites’ and the like. The antisemitism doesn’t stop there.
“They had Linda Sarsour speaking at their Democrat National Convention. She’s another pal of Louis Farrakhan’s. He’s not antisemite, he’s anti-termite, which means he wants to terminate people like you and me,” Epshteyn added.
“President Obama and Joe Biden treated Iran better than they treated Israel. We cannot go back to that. Jewish Americans cannot trust Joe Biden.”
According to Biden’s campaign site, however, he pledges to combat antisemitism, vows to support a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, and even says he’ll fight the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement that seeks to economically strangle Israel.
“Jewish Americans cannot trust Joe Biden,” Epshteyn said. “And, by the way, since when is not supporting BDS some sort of line in the sand? BDS is an antisemitic movement, so that shouldn’t be something that Joe Biden even has to say, but he does and it’s a lie because his people, the people who will be controlling him, the puppet masters behind Joe Biden do support BDS, they are antisemites, and Joe Biden is no friend to Jews or the State of Israel.”
Biden recently compared Trump to Adolf Hitler’s confidante and Nazi chief Joseph Goebbels, which Epshteyn says “was demeaning of the Holocaust,” adding that Biden’s Jewish Outreach Director recently liked and soon unliked a tweet comparing Trump to Hitler.
Epshteyn also gave an open offer to “anybody who’s willing to moderate” the debate including me and Jewish Telegraph Agency’s “leftist” Ron Kampeas. “Aaron Keyak better come out of hiding and debate me on the clear contrast between President Trump fighting against antisemitism and standing for the State of Israel and Joe Biden being pro antisemitism and pro-Iran,” said Epshteyn.

Biden Administration Sacrificing Saudi-Israel Deal on Altar of Palestinian Statehood

Iran kicked out one-third of its nuclear inspectors. The Biden administration is on the verge of getting Iran to release five hostages in exchange for unfreezing $6 billion of Iranian cash, and potentially five Iranian prisoners held in US custody. As Iran is on the march, a breakthrough in Middle East peace can’t come fast enough.
The best way to check Iranian ambitions in the region would be the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. While such a deal would be “tectonic,” the Biden administration is destroying the prospects for normalization because it continues to be obsessed with linking the deal to Palestinian nationalism.
More than any of the known Palestinian demands to date, the Biden administration is fixated on Palestinian statehood. And the administration continues to browbeat Israel on that point. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has recently claimed that both Saudi Arabia and the Biden administration view a two-state solution an important piece to any deal. Previously, Blinken told Israel’s minister of strategic affairs, Ron Dermer, that Israel would be “misreading the situation” if it doesn’t think that significant concessions to the Palestinians would be required to broker a Saudi-Israel deal. White House National Security Council spokesman Jake Sullivan also told Dermer that that Israel will need to give significant concessions to the Palestinians so that the Biden administration can sell the deal to Democrats in Congress.
One unconfirmed Saudi press report stated that the Saudis have walked away from talks, due to concerns that Israel wouldn’t agree to placate the Palestinians. However, both an American and an Israeli official have asserted that that report is false.
What is more likely is that the Saudis are taking a pragmatic, not absolutist, approach to a Palestinian track. According to an unnamed Arab official who is familiar with recent talks between Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority (PA) earlier this month, Saudi Arabia is now communicating to the PA that it is willing to abandon the two-state solution as a pre-condition for normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and that the PA needs to acclimate its demands to that fact. Additionally, Saudi Arabia has proposed to re-start aid to the PA, halted since 2016, in efforts to get the PA to at least tacitly support normalization.
The Israeli response to Palestinian nationalism is much more publicly opposed. Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi has rejected the idea of Palestinian statehood as part of the deal. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the concept of Israeli concessions to the Palestinians as a part of normalization is “a fiction” as such a deal “has nothing to do with Judea and Samaria [commonly referred to in the West as the ‘West Bank’].”
Israel’s hostility to Palestinian nationalism is well founded. As the Oslo Accords turn 30 years old, the so called “peace process” has failed to bring peace to Israel, as Israel has had to defend itself against at least five warsand countless smaller violent conflicts against the Palestinians since 1993. PA President Mahmoud Abbas continued to show his true bigoted face with a recent anti-Semitic diatribe, part and parcel of the systemic anti-Semitism and incitement to violence of the PA.
The Biden administration continues to stand in the way of Saudi Arabia’s normalization of relations with Israel, as it continues to pursue maximalist demands on Palestinian statehood. This is a non-starter for Israel, and not a top concern for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, like Israel, is primarily focused on using the deal to leverage its strength against Iran – as Saudi Arabia is looking to secure US support for advanced weapons, a NATO-like alliance, and civilian nuclear energy. In order to make a sustainable counterweight against Iranian aggression, the Biden administration must jettison its demands for Palestinian statehood, and at the very least answer Saudi concerns with a serious counter-offer. Failure to buttress Israel, Saudi Arabia and our Gulf allies will likely result in a resurgent Iran.
