Photos of the outing have circulated all over X\/Twitter and international media outlets.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<p>It is unclear if Biden purchased the book or if it was handed to him. Multiple media outlets, including Fox News and <em>The New York Post<\/em>, have reached out to the White House for comment, but so far, there has been no response.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<section class=\"hide-for-premium\">  <\/section>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<p><em>The New York Post<\/em> also reached out to Khalidi to ask about his reaction to the president holding his book. \u201cI do not speak to the Post (or the Times, for that matter), so this is not for publication, but my reaction is that this is four years too late,\u201d Khalidi told <em>The New York Post<\/em>, which clarified that it did not offer or agree to any terms conditioning that response as off the record.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<p>Khalidi\u2019s book, first published in 2020, presents a controversial perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The historian, known for his outspoken critiques of Israeli policies, describes Palestine\u2019s modern history as &#8220;a colonial war waged against the indigenous population by various parties to force them to relinquish their homeland.&#8221; Khalidi\u2019s framing has drawn both praise and criticism for its sharp departure from traditional narratives.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<figure class=\"article-image-in-body\"><figcaption class=\"article-image-caption article-image-credit\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\">Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi (credit: YOUTUBE SCREENSHOT)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>The book highlights key moments such as the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the 1948 establishment of Israel\u2014referred to as \u201cthe destruction of Palestine\u201d\u2014Israel\u2019s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and the \u201cendless, futile peace process.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<p>Khalidi has previously criticized former US President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/tags\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s policies, such as relocating the US Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, calling them discriminatory toward Palestinians. \u201cConflicts between settlers and indigenous peoples have ended in only three ways,\u201d Khalidi writes, likening Israel\u2019s policies to historical settler-colonial conflicts in North America, Algeria, and South Africa.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<section class=\"hide-for-premium\"> <\/section>\n<\/p>\n<p>The historian also discusses moments of Palestinian resistance and terrorism. He praises the First<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/tags\/intifada\"> Intifada<\/a> as \u201can extraordinary example of popular resistance against oppression.\u201d Still, he labels the Second Intifada \u201ca major failure\u201d that contributed to the construction of Israel\u2019s separation barrier. Khalidi predicts that \u201cpopular resistance will continue to rise,\u201d framing the Palestinian struggle as an enduring battle against colonialism.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<p>Since the October 7 Hamas attacks and the resulting war, Khalidi has intensified his criticism of Israel. In recent interviews, he accused Israel of conducting \u201cethnic cleansing\u201d in Gaza, stating: \u201cIt is completely unclear what Israel\u2019s political objective is. They are conducting ethnic cleansing, pushing the population of northern Gaza into the southern part of the strip. But their political goal is entirely unclear to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<h3><strong>What message does this send?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Biden\u2019s visible association with Khalidi\u2019s book has drawn mixed reactions. While the president has consistently proclaimed himself a supporter of Israel, famously declaring, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist,\u201d his administration\u2019s actions have sparked criticism from both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian groups.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<section class=\"hide-for-premium\">\n<section class=\"script-3632-container-wrap\">\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"script-3632-container\">\n<div class=\"script-3632-text\">\n<p class=\"script-3632-text-first\">Stay updated with the latest news!<\/p>\n<p class=\"script-3632-text-second\">Subscribe to The Jerusalem Post Newsletter<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p>Earlier this year, Biden temporarily halted shipments of heavy munitions to Israel, citing concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza. His decision followed the October 7 Hamas attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis and led to Israel\u2019s military response. Pro-Palestinian activists have criticized Biden\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s actions, with protests outside the White House labeling him \u201cGenocide Joe.\u201d Meanwhile, pro-Israel advocates have expressed frustration over what they perceive as conditions placed on US aid to its ally.&#13;<\/p>\n<section>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n<p>&#13;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1730128020581377');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/international\/article-831368\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; US President Joe Biden was spotted leaving a bookstore in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Friday with a copy of The Hundred Years\u2019 War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=131850\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=131850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131850\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=131850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=131850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=131850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
