VDH nails it.
Are Biden & Co. Sane?
By: Victor Davis Hanson
Story continues below advertisementJoe Biden just announced “$100 million for humanitarian assistance” in Gaza and the West Bank”.
Despite his idiotic caveat that “we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need —not Hamas or terrorist groups,” even Biden knows all too well that all money sent to the West Bank and Gaza is fungible and will reach Hamas one way or another. That is, we’ll keep funding “humanitarian aid” to Gaza so that Iran’s money can be better focused on tunnels, rockets, and drones.
And the timing?
Our taxpayers’ cash follows riots and anti-American protests after Hamas et al. falsely claimed that Israel slaughtered 500 civilians. But Biden himself conceded today that the Iran-backed, Hamas-affiliated terrorist group Islamic Jihad was in fact responsible for these innocent Palestinian deaths, when it misfired one of its rockets into a hospital parking lot—a strike that was intended to kill Jewish civilians. (In other words, had the rocket just stayed on course and wiped out some Jews in Tel Aviv, the U.S. would likely have not sent a check to Gaza).
So the U.S. concludes its “humanitarian” aid can be entrusted to those who started the war, keep perpetuating it, and lie and deceive nonstop.
Had Biden really wanted to deflate Iranian-Hamas-Hezbollah aggression and end the war, he would cancel his US-sanctioned $6 billion headed to Iran, cut cash flows to Gaza, cease being snubbed and humiliated by Arab autocrats and skedaddle home, stay put in the basement, and let the IDF deal with Hamas.
Finally, how will Biden’s largess be interpreted by Hamas? Something like: ‘Send out 2,500 murderers to invade Israel and once there butcher, rape, torture, or capture 1,000 Israelis, use Gaza’s civilians as shields to protect killers—and thereby win $100 million more in American aid.’
And in the wider Middle East? Something like: ‘Somehow the pathetic, appeasing Americans have topped their Afghanistan debacle, the opportunistic Russian invasion of Ukraine, their prior protection payoffs to radical Palestinians, their cash infusions to the Iranians, their crazy open border, and their Chinese balloon embarrassment—and so really are too dangerous to be allied with.’

Last edited 6 months ago by T D6 months agoAnd the Walking Corpse/Demented occupier of the White House had to fly halfway around the world to announce the “humanitarian aid” for the savages IN ISRAEL.
6 months agoPoems are made by fools like me,
but only Biden can ruin the country.
It all with Obama began,
airplanes with billions for Iran.
The USA now a garbage dump,
Pray God, union soldiers for the return of Trump.
He did no wrong, did his best,
despite NBC, CBS, CNN and thier viper’s nest.6 months agodid the Germans send humanitarian aid into Leningrad? or the Soviets send humanitarian aid into Berlin?
6 months agoSince Egypt and Jordan refuse to let Gazans enter their countries, I think it’s only fair, the $100,000,000 be taken out of the aid the US taxpayer bestows on those countries. And America is still being generous and a sucker.
6 months agoIn my opinion, the US forces near Israel are there to stop Israel from defending itself against Iranian missiles. I think that the US will stop Israel at any means from taking steps against the probable attacks from Iranian chemical or/and nuclear attacks. I think the Biden administration has a reason to keep Iran as a treath to ME countries in general. The reason is to keep the US as the guard of the area. If Israel is attacked by Iran with interballistic missiles, I am sure that Netanyahu will release the peacemaker. Biden does not want this and he would rather see Israel destroyed and humbled then see Israel destroy the Iranian Ayatollahs. These Ayatollahs have given the US a great reason for the US to be king of oil. Biden has lied to Israel before when he was just a senator. I would not yrust him even if he was in bed barely alive.
6 months agoBiden the schmuck just gave a 100 million to Hamas.
6 months agoWe as Americans can do nothing to stop this madness!
6 months agoTreason at the highest levels . Does this dementia victim just have an open checkbook ?
6 months agoOk Joey .. 300 years in solitary confinement for high treason. As Obama would say: “Let’s do it.” “Yes, we can.”
Just to borrow two of many of the great Barak’s slogans.Last edited 6 months ago by vinnynewyork6 months agoHe is giving them $ for nothing? He didn’t even ask for the hostages 2 B freed? what a loooser!!!
6 months agoSo now America, is Funding Terrorism…. who knew…
6 months agoDoesn’t our gutless Congress have to pass a spending bill? Set aside that taking one up is illegal right now. Have we just ceded Obama-like powers to every President?
