They are a dangerous joke.

Perfect Biden fiasco.
If this was done in a manner that didn’t hurt Israel, we would fly in whatever into an Israeli airport. We are supplying the enemy.

Ammo delivery halted by an act of God?
I was walking the beach of Tel Aviv during the “bad weather”. It was far less than an average day off the coast of Washington State. Pretty damned mild, if you ask me.
Man makes plans, God laughs?
It looks as if the SeaBees have become the SeeBeas.
Do you know how many terrorists are hungry because of this?!
