U.S. Delays Sending Precision Weapons to Israel

Biden administration has held up delivery of Joint Direct Attack Munitions as it pressures its ally not to go into Rafah.

The Biden administration has delayed the sale of thousands of precision weapons to Israel, raising questions about whether the U.S. is deliberating slowing the delivery of weapons to its top Middle East ally amid growing domestic political pressure.

Sorry, but I would not trust the WSJournal reporting of an Egyptian Muslim graduate of Georgetown.

And then they will double down on collateral damage charges - because Israel didn’t have the precision weapons to limit damages...

>The cost will be more civilian victims but anything to save Hamas....<

Civilians in Rafah? Hardly.

The IDF announced plans to obliterate Rafah weeks ago. There is a spitload of humanitarian agencies trolling the ground looking for anyone to help. Any “civilian” should have been long gone from Rafah.

Unless they took OBiden for his word and thought it was Haifa that was going to be attacked. /s

I’m willing to bet these “adults in charge” are all graduates of the Hillary Clinton School of Foreign Relations.

If Israel has the receipts on prepayment…then it’s not “holding up” - its theft.

Actually it's a violation of The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 contrary to several acts of Congress. Though there's no real penalty short of impeachment.

[SJackson]

I agree. We’re sending money to Iran to supply Hamas with weapons as well as something in the area of 8 billion proposed for Gaza which won’t go to building apartments.

[Wuli]

Get this clear - Biden asked and Congress delivered needed military aid to Israel, and then Biden reneges and holds up that aid unless Israel bends to Hamas ceasefire demands.

[PIF]

Under tremendous pressure from his major muslim, Saudi, Qatar, and dhimmi funders, Biden screws the Jews & Israel again, while claiming they have the right to defend themselves, just not with US-made weapons, and that he remains absolutely supportive of Israel, just not with Jews living in it.

And maybe the good civilians in Rafah
—
Who wholeheartedly support Hamas and its goals, cheer each Israeli death - the more brutal the killing, the louder the cheering.

Obama makes his choices quite carefully - I’ve noticed that virtually everything he does / did (well, Nully has the list)

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Attacks Christianity
e) Serves islam
f) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.

They need to crush Rafah now. Get forgiveness not permission.

Yes. Can’t you afford to hitchhike?
