Latest News About Gaza Aid Being Stolen Shows the Terrible Naïveté of Biden Team's Claims
Red State ^ | 10/29/2023 | Nick Arama

Posted on 10/29/2023 9:10:25 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

While Joe Biden was visiting Israel, he announced that his priority was to get aid into Gaza. He barely spoke about the slaughtered and kidnapped Israelis and Americans. He announced that he was going to ship in $100 million in aid to Gaza and fixated on that and Ukraine.

While there has been no response from the U.S. for the killings and Americans are still being held hostage, Biden did make sure that aid was shipped into Gaza right away, despite the concerns about Hamas stealing it. 

How were they going to ensure it wasn't stolen? 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Biden team had a "plan," and if it were stolen, they would be the "first to condemn it."

SEC. BLINKEN: “The U.S. and Israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organizations to reach civilians in Gaza, and them alone.”

I'm sure that had Hamas shaking in their boots. 

Then came the statement from Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer. His remarks were even worse. According to Finer, they believe they can prevent Hamas from stealing the aid because they have an understanding with...wait for it...Hamas. 

Q: How will you ensure none of the $100M for Gaza/West Bank "ends up in the hands of Hamas?"

DEP. NSA JON FINER: "It involves securing an understanding among Hamas..."

Q: We should "take the word of Hamas...?"

But now comes word that thousands of people have broken into the UN warehouses in Gaza and stolen some of the aid. 

One of the warehouses, located in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, is where UNRWA stores supplies delivered by humanitarian convoys crossing into Gaza from Egypt.

Footage from Khan Younis in southern Gaza showed men frantically carrying boxes and large bags out of a warehouse, hoisting them onto their shoulders or loading them onto their bicycles.

A lot of people I saw in the various videos are young men. Are they Hamas? So now where will the aid go? 

I wouldn't bet on the aid getting to those most in need. And if there is such a "need," why was there so much in the warehouse? People are painting it as people being desperate. But what this does show is that the aid isn't secure, just as people predicted.

So what does the Biden team have to say now? I could likely guess their response -- they're desperate, so let's ship in even more aid to be stolen without fixing any of the problems. 

As we reported, the war is expanding. But for Hamas, it pays for the situation to disintegrate. They don't care about the people, they use them as human shields and then blame Israel for their deaths.

I kinda agree with that the aid is contingent on the safety and return of all Hostages. Then level where it’s thought they are holed up. Then stop for the Hostages return. No Hostages? Level hamas and hezbollah strongholds and everything in a 3mile radius screw them as the whole mideast intends to kill the little satan and the big Satan.
Should anyone else fire on Israel or American troops... Level them too.

You can’t win on socially acceptable mores, their rules are simple, anyone in their way gets killed. That’s what they understand. War is war. They do not give a flying rats ass about innocents.

So you really think Iran has a concern about human life as they are devoting all resources to wipe Israel off the surface of the earth???

The White House thinks that humanitarian aid should be Israel’s problem.

However, some have access to the (inadequate) life boats; while the rest of us are in steerage.

If the 100m in aid is stolen by Hamas, the plan is to “condemn them”

hahahaha........

No doubt with a strongly worded letter.

What a joke Biden and Blinken are.

Sounds like a plan ... though once it’s used, the Hamas guards in other tunnels will be given gas masks

Of course not. Every Democrats’ plan for assistance to the other countries of the world is ALWAYS front-loaded!

We deliver then they flip us off.

“The Russians piped in a sleeping gas of some sort then, removed the hostages safely”

Except that they killed numerous hostages because the concentration of the gas was not properly controlled.

Idiots. Our government is run by malicious idiots.

“ There’s nothing naive about it. No one is that stupid. It’s intentional.”

This. And it is not just regarding the aid to Gaza. It is regarding releasing multiple billions to Iran, releasing sanctions on Iran, etc. This administration, following the lead of the Obama administration, has done nothing but enable the terrorists of this world to murder more and more people, and to keep the world in a state of terror. This is absolutely intentional.

“ And it is not just regarding the aid to Gaza”

And the open borders, the uneven enforcement of laws, the hobbling of policing, the deficit spending, the printing of money and expansion of credit, and we could go on and on. There is nothing naïve about any of this. You would be very hard pressed, indeed, to find one action by this administration that could be viewed as pro American, pro freedom, or even simply helpful. They are very clearly messing everything up intentionally.

Exactly...and anyone who votes for this guy, or ANY Democrat, for POTUS next year is nearly as bad. If you simply can’t stand Trump, then vote for a protest candidate or, better yet, just stay home.
