Report: Biden Administration Halts Ammunition Shipment to Israel
Breitbart ^ | 05/06/2024 | Simon Kent

Posted on 05/06/2024 6:58:19 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A shipment of U.S. ammunition bound for Israel last week was halted by the Biden administration for reasons yet to be made clear, a report Sunday claimed.

Israeli officials were left scrambling as to why the shipment was withheld, Axios reported, while CNN declared the decision was unrelated to U.S. opposition to an invasion of the Hamas terrorist stronghold of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Biden administration recently signed off on $26 billion in military and humanitarian aid for Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists but officials have repeatedly warned against moving into Rafah, where over a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering from the war.

If Israel is a rational actor determined to survive, then the likely response is to act more quickly, decisively and brutally. Minimizing civilian casualties is expensive.

America is lost and truly paper tiger

Taiwan better make deal with China because USA will not come to their aid.

Once China and Taiwan make a deal the Chinese will cut off the China sea and Indian Ocean to the world supplies

This is what happens when USA is weak

I hope Israel realizes that the US is in the grip of a shadow government operated by a Kenyan Muslim.

Sounds like withholding aid is an impeachable offense, right?

There is no middle ground. If you won’t help Israel, you are its enemy. The USA under Biden has become the enemy of Israel.

No nation on earth can trust USA anymore. Throwing away America’s ability to negotiate in world diplomatic, economic, and defense affairs.

There will be consequences we do not like.

Serious consequences in some cases.

All for what? What did Biden gain from his perfidy? I don’t see that he got anything at all out of it (unless he’s just still obeying orders or he’s on the take with his boy’s “fundraising” activities)?

"Kenyan Muslim"

Biden is just fulfilling Bible prophecy. Zechariah 12:9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Every move Israel makes (and they have to to survive), will be condemned. The time is drawing nigh. As the naysayers cry "Where is His coming" "Is not this day the same as the last"?

As I’ve said many times on FR, I’m not a fan of Israel’s, generally speaking, because of the USS Liberty murders of 34 US sailors (8 June, 1967) and wounding of 171 others plus the complete destruction of a US Navy ship.

That dutifully said, I support Israel 100% against it’s subhuman and common foe Hamas/IRAN of both our countries.

Withholding promised ammunition should be a crime. If it’s not, it should be.

Think the same thing will happen to OBiden? Nah, I didn’t think so either.

I find that to be so strange since there are so many members of Congress that have duel citizenship with Israel.

At the end of your article Breitbart continues.

“UPDATE: The Times of Israel reports Israel says ammunition deliveries are continuing as normal.

Speaking to Ynet, an Israeli official downplayed the Axios report, saying “Even now, a continued series of defense shipments are being sent from the U.S. to Israel.”

“It’s possible that one shipment or another is delayed, but the flow continues and we’re not aware of a policy decision to stop it,” the official added.

Israeli government spokesman David Mencer told Breitbart News on Monday that he had not seen reports of any suspension of U.S. ammunition shipments.:

When John Edwards said there were “two Americas,” he was actually bragging, not complaining.

“Trump got impeached for doing this to Ukraine”

Therein lies the error, in trying to establish parity between Israel and Ukraine. To the Biden regime, Israel is an unmitigated disaster, while Ukraine is the paragon of all that is just and right in the world.

And the United States is bracketed by the same set of strictures that apply to Israel, a monstrosity that has to be tamed and properly confined to it role as a compliant means to distribute largesse to all the world, until it is no more.

Should the Biden regime or its intellectual successors retain power this November, we will be so screwed. Even in defeat, their propensity to distribute mischief shall be little diminished.

Shouldn’t this be correctly characterized, loudly, in the press as Biden threatening Israel by withholding arms to help his faltering campaign election woes? Who will trumpet this comparison to the masses of low information voters to see?
