Biden Administration Funding Attack From Hamas

 


Israel At War Again: Biden's Pro Iran Messaging

Hamas attacked Israel yesterday.

 I looked at my phone after my morning run to see my Dad’s text “Pray for Israel”. The news was still a mystery to me. I jumped on Telegram and caught up with some of the carnage unfolding. It’s still very new and unfolding; the details aren’t completely known. It appears hundreds are dead in the south around the country. Hamas launched a massive rocket attack that overwhelmed the Iron Dome missile defense system protecting its beleaguered country.

It's the fiftieth anniversary of Yom Kippur. Naturally, the scum in Gaza waited until then to build up weapons and attack. Once the defense system was down they burst through the border wall and started slaughtering Jews. Some of the footage is awful. I don’t like watching people get beat up and shot like that. I skimmed most of the posts. For the videos with a warning shield I avoid clicking on it. When I see civilians, especially women, being brutalized I have to look away. Hamas is also taking hostages. They started murdering civilians at a Burning Man style music festival.

 Israel is known for its spot on intelligence and historically preempting attacks on neighbor states like in Egypt (1967). The intelligence failed miserably this time. They’re always so good at preventing these large-scale incursions, one wonders what happened.

I read some early posts from Jack Posobiec about Joe Biden releasing $6 billion dollars of sanctioned money to the Ayatollahs in Iran. The Biden administration wanted to restart this deal with the Iranians ever since Trump put the kibosh on it. President Trump thought the deal would make the Iranians likely to spread that money around to their terrorists’ proxies in Gaza and Lebanon. What a crazy notion right? The Iranian regime, awash with money, might  make Israel less safe. That’s exactly what happened. The Biden regime is no friend to Israel. In the Middle East there are three powers competing for control, Israel, the Sunni states and the Shia states.

Saudi Arabia represents the biggest Sunni state, Iran the Shia power. Ever since Trump’s mid-east deal with a handful of Sunni states (Bahrain, UAE) and Israel, relations have normalized. Just the recognition of the Jewish state was major achievement. But Iran is the rival to Saudi Arabia and the Sunni Muslim powers. They fund terrorism through Hamas. This latest attack is very coordinated and suggests a lot of time and training went into it. The worst Hamas does, normally, is launch a few rockets that get intercepted by the defense system. This time is different. It looks like Netanyahu and the IDF get caught sleeping. That’s just unbelievable to say but it doesn’t make sense otherwise.

It used to be that the American president didn’t affect the relationship between the US and Israel all that much. Most of them tried to broker some kind of deal with the Palestinian leadership but none had lasting success. Trump was the first to treat the Jewish state like and ally with the Abraham Accords. Everyone else took the claims of the Palestinians at face value and tried to negotiate in good faith. That was always a suckers play. Neither the PLO nor Hamas wanted to live in peace. They only ever bought time until the next attack. I don’t think the Biden administration cared about Israel at all. They knew Iran would likely try to attack them, and still they released the funds. Our ally in the Middle East is paying a heavy price for the crooked American government.

I clicked on Fox’s Sunday morning show with Shannon Bream today. The White House trotted out some lackey to explain that ‘actually the money the Iranians will receive hasn’t been spent yet’. And my favorite part of the interview was when he said that they are permitted from using any of the funds for anything other than aid (LOL). These dopey officials are running the country, God help us! That’s like saying people getting food stamps aren’t allowed to use them for booze and cigarettes. As if they won’t use their earnings for booze and cigarettes and the food stamps for groceries. How stupid do they think we are. Shannon Bream said as much, implying that the Iranians might use the newly acquired money to cover their debt to the weapons manufacturers. The spokesman (can’t remember his name) was not having it.

That tells me that the Biden people know exactly how awful this looks. Donald Trump suggested this gift to Iran would hurt Israel, after the deal went down a month ago. Trump’s tweeting turns out to be a genius move most of the time. Sure, there is the occasional nasty bit about “horseface” Stormy Daniels. Mostly though, he puts attention where the media refuses to go. Then they have to cover it because it’s news. 

I don’t want to be negative here, but I think this incursion by Hamas reverberates around the globe. Already, two Jewish vacationers in Egypt were shot to death by a police officer. The Taliban is looking to join in the fight on the Holy Land. There is a good chance we see terrorism here in America as well. How many millions of "refugees" have poured in across the southern border? These Islamists don’t see this as a purely related to Israel. It’s a global jihad and there a lot of infidels to deal with.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
