Biden makes common cause with Hamas

Most of the debate about the Biden administration’s actions in the Middle East centers on the issue of competence. Biden is regularly accused of being “weak-kneed” or lacking “backbone.” This misses the essential point. The Biden administration is not trying to advance the interests of the United States and Israel and our other allies. The key figures in this administration believe we are on the wrong side of history and they have made common cause with revolutionary Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

Witness the decision of the United States Government to halt the sale of critical munitions to Israel. In October 2023, Hamas terrorists came across the border into Israel and killed in excess of 1,200 Israelis. They gunned down young people at a music concert. They raped women to death. They paraded dead bodies through the streets of Gaza. They took a still undetermined number of hostages.

Now, as Israel fights back against this menace and attempts once and for all to end the threat of Hamas, the Biden administration has stopped the shipment of critical ordnance to Israel.

Senior U.S. Officials have now revealed that the Biden administration has “delayed” the sale of 6,500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Kits, 1,700 “Mark 82 500-Pound Bombs” and 1,800 “Mark 84 2,000-Pound Bombs” to the Israeli Air Force. These were meant to replace ordnance used by the Israelis in Gaza to date.

In the midst of a shooting war, Joe is denying ammunition to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). It should also be noted that the Biden administration did not inform Congress of its decision to start holding up supplies to the IDF until press leaks forced it to do so.

This comes on the heels of the Biden administration criticizing units of the IDF for “human rights abuses” and openly discussing sanctioning those units.

Republican Senators are understandably outraged by Joe’s decision to leave our Israeli allies hanging in the middle of a fight to the death. Senators Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) and Ted Budd (R., N.C.), sent a letter to the White House Monday demanding that the White House explain its action.
