“The Israeli consul general of Miami”

Begs to differ.
He did not say Meatball has discussed sending Weapons in the future.
So when is Meatball sending weapons and what is he sending?

“Posts 12 & 13 list a bunch of media organizations publishing the phony story without doing any verification. They took the phony ball and ran with it.”

So why hasn’t Meatball come out and clarified what multiple sources reported?
As of tonight, Meatball has not clarified.

Who’s lying?

DeSantis is sending some weapons to Israel in move that could bolster him in the GOP primary

DeSantis says Florida helped send weapons to Israel — a move that could boost him in the GOP primary
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office says the state has arranged to send drones, weapons and ammunition to Israel as it prepares for an incursion of Gaza in response to Hamas’ attack

Florida has sent cargo planes with healthcare supplies, drones, body armor and helmets, said Jeremy Redfern, a spokesman for the governor’s office. The state also worked with groups to supply unspecified amounts of weapons and ammunition that were privately funded, Redfern said.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4192466/posts


His boast, however, started to unravel when Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, Israel’s consul general, told the news agency he had not asked for DeSantis’s help, and that the governor’s involvement was limited to smoothing paperwork requirements for a previously arranged shipment of “rifle parts” ordered by his government.

“I am not aware and would find it very, very bizarre to think that somebody is procuring weapons and sending it to Israel,” he said. “This is not how we work. And certainly not privately funded.”

If the consul is in Miami chances are he is not sympathetic to a Conservative governor. Miami is very Liberal. I bet a person posted there would want to fit in.

From WUSF

“The governor’s office said it acted at the request of Israel’s consul general in Miami. Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, the consul general, initially said Thursday he did not request drones, body armor or helmets, nor had he talked to the governor about help getting weapons or ammunition through private parties.

Elbaz-Starinsky said later Thursday that others in the Israeli government had communicated with DeSantis’ office to determine what would be sent to Israel.”

"I don’t recall DeSantis ever claim to have sent weapons to Israel......"

The Governor's office said they made arrangements with organizations to send an unspecified amount of weapons and ammo privately funded:

Jeremy Redfern, a spokesperson for the Governor's Office:

"Florida has sent cargo planes with healthcare supplies, drones, body armor and helmets, said Jeremy Redfern, a spokesman for the governor's office. The state also worked with groups to supply unspecified amounts of weapons and ammunition that were privately funded, Redfern said."

DeSantis office most certainly did say just that. Do you never do a search before emoting?

DRONES...
“At the request of the Israeli Consul General in Miami, cargo planes contracted by Florida were used to transport healthcare and hospital supplies, drones, body armor, and helmets that first responders can use,” the governor’s office said earlier this week in a statement.

Its not what DeSantis, or Trump, or anyone the press does not like actually said that matters. It is what the press says about people the don't like that matters to the press.

This the press creating, responding and arguing over misleading headlines to discredit who they don't like. Remember how the press did this to Trump?

For DeSantis fans, look at this this way. The MSM just made it clear they don't like him. That's a plus.

http://winknews.com/2023/10/27/florida-weapons-isreal-discrepancy/:

“But the governor’s office said Florida did not send weapons to Israel on its own. It only helped to get military equipment bought and paid for by private parties to that country.”

Nowhere can I find Gov. DeSantis saying he was sending weapons that have been implied as something he used tax-dollars to purchase.

Jack Prosobiec, Pres. Trump’s paid attack dog on X, always hyperbolizes and even outright lies about DeSantis. That’s his job, but we are not obligated to accept any candidate’s spokesperson’s claims at face value. I don’t trust any of the minions, no matter who the candidate is. Their ability to stay employed has nothing to do with being honest, it’s all about manipulating the news and the voters.

I really haven't got involved in this but have seen the headlines. My first reaction to the headlines were, is that even legal for a U.S. state governor to provide arms to a foreign government? In other words, I had serious doubts about the claim. That may be why I never really got involved in discussing this story, because it sounded too false to be true. So, I chose to just ignore it.

But if he did push this narrative, then it goes to prove that DeSantis does things that he thinks will propel him as a candidate, and explains his rescue mission, as well.

Quite sad to be honest. I used to think very highly of him. I'm glad he decided to jump the shark exposing who he really is, but still sad nonetheless.
