In every country except Israel, Jews are in a minority. The verbal warfare and diplomatic disconnect between Australia and Israel have been the star attraction and media focus. In June of that year, Joe Biden was a senator from Delaware and he confronted Begin during a Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony, threatening to cut off aid to Israel. All Muslim and Arab countries voted against this partition resolution and declared their intention to erase the Jewish State of Israel from the map. It is rather a dangerous tool through which Israel seeks to impose its sovereignty and alter the historical and legal status of the Al Aqsa Mosque.
