Silence from ‘Squad’ in Congress on social media about Hamas attacks
JNS ^ | October 7, 2023 | Staff

Posted on 10/07/2023 1:40:07 PM PDT by ConservativeInPA

“Anyone hear from The Squad or are they too busy celebrating?” posted Esther Panitch, a member of the Georgia House of Representatives.

As Biden administration officials, Congress members and world leaders expressed support for Israel amid a surprise attack on Saturday—and condemned the Hamas terror group responsible for a barrage of rocket attacks and the kidnapping of civilians and members of the Israeli military—responses from the so-called “Squad” of progressive Democratic Party were noticeably absent.

The group of congresswomen, whose three most prominent members are Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), has long attacked Israel in a manner that Jewish organizations and others call antisemitic.

In February, 2019, after the the anti-Jewish remarks by Rep. Ilhan Omar about the American Jews running DC and the Jews control everything and “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby” the Democrats dithered and delayed and discussed it for two days and then settled on a milquetoast wimp-out that all ethnic groups and all religions in the US should refrain from all harsh statements.

This was their refusal to censure Omar.

Yes. I wish one of their toilet cleaner maids, gardeners or limo drivers had a cell recording the cheapshot remarks.

“An immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives, right after Gaza is reduced to a smoldering radioactive rubble.”

No other solution is viable.

Huddling together:

Rashida: “What do we say? The Jewish sons of pigs and apes provoked a fully justified response from the Palestinian people for the outrages the Yahudi have committed against them. But we can’t say that openly.”

Omar: “Perhaps we can just express our sympathy for the suffering of the Palestinians in this unjustified war of aggression against them! We need not refer to the hook-nosed occupiers of Palestine.”

AOC: “Girls, most of this should be laid at the feet of that horrible monster Trump. But we should also mention his kike handlers. They are the ones pulling his capitalist strings!”

I’ll bet this is not too far from the truth.

Same scam these libtards always pull. Israel will be condemned for retaliating, but Israel is told to have restraint when it is attacked or like here she odd telling them both to stop and ceasefire when it’s all HAMAS with the terrorists attacks.

6 Billion to Iran so they can attack Israel. Today Biden gives Israel 8 Billion.

The House always wins.

Biden administration to restore $235m in US aid to Palestinians (April 2021)
BBC News ^ | April 7, 2021
Posted on 10/7/2023, 11:23:10 AM by Oldeconomybuyer

US President Joe Biden’s administration plans to provide $235m (£171m) of aid to Palestinians, restoring part of the assistance cut by Donald Trump.

Two-thirds will go to the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, which has suffered a financial crisis since it lost $360m of US funding in 2018.

Mr Biden wants to “restore credible engagement” by the Palestinians in long-stalled peace talks with Israel.

Palestinian leaders accused Mr Trump of being heavily biased towards Israel.

They rejected a peace plan he unveiled last year that envisaged recognising Israeli sovereignty over Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley, and Jerusalem remaining Israel’s “undivided capital”. Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. Most of the international community considers the settlements illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US plans included $75m in economic and development assistance in the West Bank and Gaza, $10m for peacebuilding programmes through the US Agency for International Development (USAid), and $150m in humanitarian assistance for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa).

The US will also resume security assistance programmes with the Palestinians.

This news has come as a huge relief to Palestinians. Their economy is propped up by international donors and was left reeling by the dramatic cuts of the Trump administration.

Many saw them as an attempt to push Palestinian leaders into peace talks with Israel on terms that they considered to be heavily biased against them.

Knowing Biden, the democrats might send ships to rescue the people of Gaza and then ship them to the US.
