As Iran Wages Proxy War on Israel, Biden Mulls Giving $10 Billion to the Mullahs
Front Page Magazine ^ | 17 Nov, 2023 | Robert Spencer

When you can't make it clearer where you stand on the Hamas-Israel war.

Old Joe Biden couldn’t make it clearer where he stands on the Hamas-Israel war if he screamed “Allahu akbar” and blew himself up in a crowd of Jews.

The alleged president demonstrated, for anyone who was paying attention, which side he is really on in the Hamas-Israel conflict when he went over to Israel in late October and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He took the opportunity to announce that he was giving $100 million to Gaza, which means, despite his denials, $100 million to Hamas, as there is no entity in Gaza that is not controlled by Hamas and could both receive this money and keep it out of the hands of the terror group. As if that weren’t bad enough, now Old Joe and his henchmen are considering sending $10 billion to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the chief funder of Hamas. Yes, it’s so far beyond outrageous that it is coming up on outrageous from the other side, but it’s true nevertheless.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that “the Biden administration may approve a sanctions waiver on Tuesday that will allow Iran to access at least $10 billion in previously frozen funds held in Iraq.” Displaying an admirable talent for understatement, the Free Beacon noted that this is “driving concerns that the Biden administration is maintaining financial avenues for Tehran as the country’s terrorist proxies foment chaos across the Middle East.”

Now, why would the Biden regime even consider freeing up billions for Iran while the “Death to America, Death to Israel” regime is bankrolling not only Hamas, but Hizballah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in their jihad war against the Jewish state? There are three possibilities: the regime is either stupid, or evil, or both. In this case, the most likely answer is the third: the sinister, senescent, faux-folksy corruptocrat and his cronies are as clueless as they are immoral. Oh, and wrongheaded, and a hundred other things.

Biden and his team are stupid insofar as they apparently still believe that showering money upon the Islamic Republic will lead that rogue, terror-supporting regime to moderate its practices and possibly even grow friendly toward America and possibly even Israel as well. This is a ridiculous idea for the State Department wonks and foreign policy “experts” to have, but they have it nonetheless; in fact, American diplomacy has largely consisted of efforts to buy friends internationally for many decades now.

Why Iraq should rely on Iran for electricity is not known to me.

There is no explanation for the things Biden does, except a deep and enduring hatred for America. It perfectly meshes with the profiles of Obama and Soros. Has anyone noticed that Klaus Schwab has been keeping his head down lately?

The $10 billion will end up in the Russian Treasury as Iran will use it to buy Russian weapons.

The only solution to any problem faced by Biden and the Democrats is to throw money at it.

That’s all they know how to do

Nobody can deny the fact that...

Every dollar that goes towards Iran, is used to kill Americans and Israelis and Iran’s other opposition.

So, in effect, Biden and Obama and those supporting funds to Iran, are directly killing Americans and Israelis and others.

In times of war, helping the enemy makes you a traitor.

We paid the barberry pirates early on not to pirate.

We pay these guys not to be terrorists, but the price is getting high..............

You miss the point

American lives don’t matter.

All that matters is the misguided attempt and effort to save the legacy of the Black President Barack Obama

But the visionary Thomas Jefferson sent Marines to the Shores of Tripoli to promote American business by killing the pirates where they live.

Jefferson knew that American trade over the world was the way to go
