White House cleans-up Biden's quotes and says Americans weapons are still being sent to Israel... but issues another warning about invading Rafah

The White House cleaned up President Joe Biden's threat to stop sending weapons to Israel, saying the shipments are continuing.

'Everybody keeps talking about pausing weapons shipments. Weapons shipments are still going to Israel. And they're still getting the vast, vast majority of everything that they need to defend themselves,' National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Thursday.

Biden told CNN on Wednesday that he would pause more arms shipments to Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launches a full-scale invasion of Rafah.

I know the sleazy politicians all use focus groups but the Dems now must have realtime meters showing good and bad reactions to Bidens daily flip-flops on Hamas and Israel.

Biden shows a different side each day, depending on the meter.

The key weasel words are “to defend themselves”. The Biden White House does not consider the Israelis going into Rafa to be defending themselves.

Israel can launch an invasion and just say it’s not ‘full scale’. If it was full scale everyone would be dead and the place would be leveled.

Yep. “[T]he vast, vast majority of everything that they need” for defense implies that they are not getting arguably offensive weapons — and, indeed, that they are not getting a minority of what they need for defense.

Netanyahu lured the Palestinians to Rafah.

Biden said Rafah was a red line.

Looks like Bibi tested him and Biden kept his word.

They are just playing political games, no way is Zionist Blinken who actually runs our foreign policy cutting off arms to Israel. This is just a ruse to quiet down opposition within his own party.

No joke. Biden makes a gaffe in some interview. The staff runs out and polls how bad the damage is. Then they claim he didn’t say what he said depending on what the polling tells them. The press overlooks it or actively supports the claim that Biden didn’t really say what he said. Start again the next day.

Biden Warned Israel?

Well, look what happened before he did.

Israel Strikes Hamas Command Center Under UNRWA Complex (May 6, 2024)

https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/05/06/israel-strikes-hamas-command-center-under-unrwa-complex/

Wonder what secrets the IDF will find in this site. Remember when they found the previous Data System discovery in Gaza City in February?

Slo Joe may be afraid of info about him being exposed.

Bibi is not dumb, the IDF is capable. Hamas must be ended.

Would Biden support a minor incursion?

I’d donate money to the iDF if I knew where to send it.

The IDF is nibbling around the edges, & as the edges retreat, the IDF advances. Probably a good thing because they missed a lot of tunnels in the north and had to go back in to clean up.

Exactly correct.

Biden’s idea of defense is in line with how we defended the Red Sea:

“Have We Lost The Red Sea?”
