Grant Smith Posted on a massive coordinated Israel lobby media smear campaign in its tracks by accurately labeling AIPAC as a hate group. Biden has the power to do the same, but unfortunately his entire career has been in servitude to injustice when it comes to Israel Palestine. The Biden administration assumes power claiming it will reverse Trump administration policies it claims are harmful to Americans and the rest of the world. Biden will end the so-called Muslim ban – Executive order 13769 – on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The US will rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change and cancel the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden will issue mask mandates, extend moratoriums on evictions and even rejoin the World Health Organization.
