Joe Biden Faces Fury Over Iran Deal as Israel Attacked
Newsweek ^ | October 7, 2023 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 10/07/2023 4:44:55 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Social-media users have blamed the Biden administration's move to free up frozen Iranian funds in a prisoner-exchange for playing a role in the Hamas attacks in Israel.

On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared in a video address that "we are at war" after gunmen from the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack, infiltrating southern Israel from the Gaza Strip.

Videos appeared to show Palestinian militants shooting at passersby in the streets of the Israeli town of Sderot, and Palestinian rocket fire from Gaza has killed one Israeli woman.

Amid the most-serious escalation in the country since Israel and Hamas fought a 10-day war in 2021, users on the platform X (formerly Twitter) referred to the Biden administration's move to issue a waiver to allow the transfer of $6bn in frozen Iranian funds from South Korea to Qatar.

"I'm sure the fact that Joe Biden gave $6,000,000,000 to Iran had nothing to do with Hamas declaring war on Israel on Shabbat," posted Afshine Emrani.

Conservative commentator Vince Mansfield posted: "I would like to see the Republicans in the US House open an investigation into how that $6 billion Joe Biden just sent to Iran was distributed. Specifically, did any of it go to Hamas before this latest attack on Israel."

Canadian journalist Daniel Boardman wrote on X that, after Biden allowed the money to be released to Iran, "now Hamas, one of the terrorist proxies they brag openly about funding, is launching a sophisticated and expensive attack on Israel. Foreign Policy matters."

It’s not fair to blame it all on Biden. Obama and Kerry deserve an equal amount of ire.

This is Obama, the Iranian operative, via Biden. I wonder where all that weaponry left in Afghanistan wound up....oh wait, I think it’s surfaced.

Iran funded, Palis funded and armed....complements of Obama in the basement.

Joey Biden, he’s their man.
If anyone can do it, old Joey can!!!
Nuclear war is in his game.
Never forget his evil name.
$30 for a loaf of bread...now try and wrap that around your head.
Joey’s the man that leads the RATs: enemies of America, including your cats.
Toilets, stoves and water heaters too...ain’t nothin’ too small for them to do.
Steal, kill and destroy; that’s their ploy. Ain’t nothin’ safe, not even a toy.
They’ll take your silver, steal your gold. Yep...they’re really quite that bold.
Hide your daughters and your wives too. Demented Joey just loves a hair do.
When will it end and where will we go? Don’t ask old Joey. He doesn’t know!

Democrats love war in the Middle East.

Has happened almost every time that they are in charge.

From the article:

"If you are horrified by what is happening in #Israel right now, you can thank @JoeBiden. Iran is spending the $6 BILLION Joe Biden just gave them," posted the journalist Amy Mek. "The Islamic attack that you are watching unfold in Israel is being funded by Joe Biden and the Democrat Party," tweeted journalist and author Laura Loomer.

Thankfully the republicans gave them funding… just a few days before. Coincidence.

That was then, this is now. You’re right though, except I would extend the blame or bloody hands to the 81 million Americans who supported FJB, and still call themselves DimocRAT.

It isn’t only money, Obama and the rest are anti semites, and the message has been to be apologists for Iran and to undermine Israel.

Biden only fights Russia in Europe because he was forced into it by the democrats Russia Russia Russia play domestically.

But at the same time democrats embolden and even fund our worst enemies.

Before long, you’ll see similar attacks in America when someone tries to control the border and the drug cartels.

Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice are smiling and probably having a celebratory romp w/Obama.

Biden’s got his 10% up front so has already smile.
