Opinion: Biden’s Worst Mistake of the Gaza War
White House halts arms transfers to Israel – report

By David Rosenberg, World Israel News
The Biden administration has frozen a planned arms shipment to Israel, according to a report Sunday, raising concerns among Israeli leaders of a major shift in American policy vis-a-vis the Jewish state.
Two Israeli officials told Axios and Walla that the Biden White House last week froze a weapons shipment to Israel, which includes ammunition and other American-made arms.
If confirmed, this marks the first time the U.S. has suspended arms shipments to Israel since Hamas’ October 7th invasion of the Jewish state.
According to the report, the White House, Pentagon, and State Department all declined to comment, as did the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.
The report comes as Israel reiterates its plans to enter Rafah, the last Hamas stronghold in the Gaza Strip, despite staunch opposition from the Biden White House, which claims Israel does not yet have an actionable plan to protect Gaza civilians.
Last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.
During his visit, Blinken conveyed to Israeli leaders the White House’s continued opposition to the planned Rafah operation as it is currently drafted, including a conversation with Netanyahu which two sources described as “tough.”
Blinken warned Netanyahu that a “major military operation” in Rafah would jeopardize Israel’s relations with the U.S.
On Sunday, Netanyahu issued a statement marking Holocaust Remembrance Day in which he vowed Israel would “stand alone” if necessary.
“In the terrible Holocaust, there were great world leaders who stood by idly; therefore, the first lesson of the Holocaust is: If we do not defend ourselves, nobody will defend us. And if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone,” he said.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial board:
President Biden is desperate to end the Israel-Hamas war, starting with the cease-fire the Administration has been trying to broker. Hamas has refused so far, and now the Administration is squeezing Israel even harder to abandon its plan to take Hamas’s last Gaza stronghold in the city of Rafah.
That’s the meaning of the Axios report on Sunday that the U.S. put a hold last week on a shipment of U.S.-made weapons to Israel. The dispatch by reporter Barak Ravid cites two Israeli sources, adding that the White House and other parts of the U.S. government declined to comment. The fact that the U.S. didn’t deny the report is telling. The Israelis view Mr. Ravid as the Biden Administration’s preferred media conduit for its leaks about U.S. policy on the Israel and Gaza conflict.
The news arrives as the U.S. is working with Qatar and Egypt to persuade Hamas to agree to the latest offer of a cease-fire in exchange for releasing some hostages. CIA director William Burns was in Cairo on the weekend to meet with Arab negotiators. We’re told that Hamas hasn’t budged on its negotiating demands, which include a permanent end to the war, not merely a cease-fire.
Perhaps the weapons delay was intended as a message to Hamas that the U.S. is willing to arm-twist Israel to stop the Rafah campaign. But that’s the diplomatic logic that has kept the war going as long as it has since Oct. 7. Israel’s government can’t end the war with Hamas’s military brigades intact, and that means going into Rafah, as difficult as it may be.
The U.S. should be putting pressure on Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. The more Hamas thinks it might be saved by U.S. pressure on Israel, the less likely Hamas is to agree to a cease-fire. That’s a recipe for extending the war for several more weeks, or longer.
Mr. Biden’s strategy of pressuring Israel to make concessions that its government and citizens are united against hasn’t worked. It hasn’t won concessions from Hamas and its allies in Iran and Lebanon. And it hasn’t tamed the anti-Israel protests in the U.S. that threaten his re-election.
Mr. Biden was in a stronger position, politically and strategically, when he spoke with moral clarity about Hamas and in support of Israel after Oct. 7. The fastest way to end the war is with an Israeli victory, and withholding weapons is exactly the wrong message to send an ally under siege.

The policy of delaying weapons was also applied to Ukraine beginning in early 2023.
The only 2 Jewish leaders in the world are probably Netanyahu and Zelensky. And they are not allowed by the powers that be to fully defend their countries. Each one has critics on the left and on the right that hold them in contempt for doing so.
Pass all the funding you want in Congress, it won’t matter if the actual delivery of weapons is delayed for 6 months to a year.

If anyone is a “new Hitler” or “Hitler wannabe,” as the unhinged Left keeps claiming about Trump, it ain’t him – by his actions and deeds, it is very much Biden. Plus it was under him that the current cancer of anti-Semitism has so spread and metastasized.

Russian state-media uses the Holocaust to attack Israel on Gaza war.
Lavrov means “Lap dog” in ancient Rus.
(Article is an example of Russian disinformation campaign against Israel)

DemoNazis alignment with IslamoNazis cannot be more clear.
There is no doubt in my mind that the CIA has clearly been working with Hamas. Everything this malevolent regime does is designed to undermine Israel.
To paraphrase Beijing Biden: If you vote for Biden, you ain’t Jewish.

That rat , Joe Biden and others in his despicable regime would stop the shipment of weapons to Israel, No matter how important and necessary arms are needed in Israel’s self-defense against those vicious and murderous attacks of Hamas and Hezbollah.
This is because that fiendish villain Biden, has ,indeed, totally abandoned Israel , likewise he betrayed her. Biden even has the diabolical gall to attempt to impose sanctions on the Israel Defense Force all the while he’s providing that aggressive Israel and America hating hostile Islamic regime of Iran, which supports Hamas, with billions of dollars and then he wants to send Iran even more money Before this betrayal of the State of Israel and the United States ,Biden allowed that Islamic tyranny that to obtain billons of dollars . How terribly wicked of Biden .For that belligerent ”mullah regime” of Iran calls Israel “The little Satan and the US “The great Satan.”
We may be sure that either in a direct way or an indirect way will use that money to advance its nuclear weapons program and further its stooge terror/murder jihad organizations which are Hamas, Hezbollah , Islamic Jihad.
Some Westerners might find in a bit interesting that Ayatollah Khamenei as well as the other ayatollahs and mullahs who have so much terrible power in Iran , don’t ever engage in any shootings and bombings , they just have their useful idiots who are the Muslim terrorists those three horrendous jihad entities to the dirty work of murdering of people for them as their tools.
Some of that vast amount of money Biden those in power in Iran to obtain will , without doubt , also be given in support to further found Hamas and also Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.
Truly, Joe Biden is a treacherous scoundrel.

To bad Israel can nit find another major power to align with. Imagine if China aligned with Israel and they exchanged tech. It would sink the bid3n administration immediately.
Israel has got to do what it needs too. Plus Netanyahu should also said to bid3n no shipment of new Israeli tech. Again sinks Biden.

I saved the drawing of the misguided President Joe in my ‘politicians who relish making war’ file. Almost a ‘paper tiger’, Mistah Bygones … … a Delaware teddy bear in the garage, in a box full of illegally removed USA Presidential security documents. Disambiguated, we see the bar-room brawler 25 years beyond his basically functional cognitive state. Add that he has betrayed both Isreal and his own country (as did ‘Blinking Blinken’) and you have a man who the DEMS will not allow to run against the great MAGA Trump … Mickey Michelle OH Bamma is on the way … to the WHite House, or so all the Oh Bamma family would like.
