What military aid the US is sending to Israel after Hamas attack?
Aljazeera ^ | 10/9/23

Posted on 10/09/2023 11:17:57 AM PDT by hardspunned

Hours after the deadly Hamas attack inside Israel, US President Joe Biden promised ‘rock-solid and unwavering’ support to its closest ally in the Middle East.

Washington, which provides about $3bn in annual military aid to Israel, has ordered the movement of military ships and aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support following Saturday’s attack by the Palestinian armed group.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the Hamas attack a “massive terrorist attack” in an interview with ABC News on Sunday. “We have immediately engaged our Israeli partners and allies. President [Joe] Biden was on the phone with Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu early yesterday to assure him of our full support,” he added.

Incredibly, the US has only two carriers on duty. One, is heading to the Eastern Mediterranean, one is just south of Japan. It’d be nice to have one in the Persian Gulf, the Baltic and near the Black Sea. I thought that was the point of having ELEVEN carriers. The Z man will not be happy being two timed by DC like this.

Isn’t it enough that we gave Iran the money to finance this terror??

Well, first thing, any, and all funds and resources slated for Ukraine should be redirected for a war against Hamas. I’m not sure those dollars and resources should be given to Israel, maybe we should use them directly to hunt down and kill Hamas.

Can that money supposedly in a bank account in Qatar be recalled?

We need to worry about our border and praying that we are not the next people to get the same treatment Israel has gotten.

All eyes need to be on American security first.

Our people in DC are only interested in foreign involvements.

Good bye Ukraine. You are no longer the current thing. You are now in the rear view mirror and getting smaller and smaller as we move on to new things to toss money to.

Israel has said they will cut off food and energy from the Gaza. Once that happens, the liberal media will begin running articles on the “extreme suffering” occurring in Gaza. Then the world governments who condemned Hamas, will begin condemning Israel. I expect Biden to join in.

We can only expect peace, through victory.

I totally support Israel.

But I want to stay consistent. I have opposed our support of Ukraine. I don’t think that is our fight.
I can’t in good conscience support military aid to Israel. I don’t think the Gaza is our fight.

But I think the US should provide political support for Israel when they do what is necessary in Gaza. Clean it out. Send the terrorists a raw message. Tell the UN to pound sand if they don’t like it.

No, neither. Funds should be directed to our border.
A version of Operation Wetback should also be enforced.

You are free to fight or fund any war you want personally.

Yeah, but what about all those resources slated for Ukraine destined to be laundered into cash and sent back to the DC oligarchs’ offshore accounts? Let’s get real, that cash is going nowhere but to MIC/Uniparty oligarchy bank accounts.

I was thinking this exact thing

Brandon is personally sending an autographed fruit basket and a CD of obama speeches.

I read here, though I don’t know if correct, that Biden is pushing for $100 billion for Ukraine.

Rest assured, the MIC oligarchs made probably even more obscene profits trying to tinker with these lemons. Of course, the whole obscene profit gravy train gears up for the design and replacement of this dog ship.

Gee Whiz, that will create a "Food Desert" in the Desert ...

Snicker

Maybe Israel can help create some Food Deserts in American Prog Leftist Big Cities, as a public service.

Yikes. You’re right:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/07/joe-biden-huge-final-ukraine-aid-package/

I still think their appetite to give Ukrainian aid will diminish now that “American’s Greatest Ally” is in dire need of that money.
