Biden vows US will not supply weapons for Israel's offensive attack on Hamas-controlled Rafah
2024-05-09
[NY Post] Ironclad
President Biden said Wednesday that "I’m not supplying the weapons" if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moves forward with a full attack on the Hamas

Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.

"I made clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gotten into Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem," Biden told CNN

Biden’s threat drew swift condemnation from Israel supporters in Congress and followed days of obfuscation by the White House about reports the administration had stopped the transmission of powerful precision bombs. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed to Congress earlier Wednesday the shipment had been "paused," but claimed a final decision about its fate had not yet been made.

#14  And all that money just tagged for Israel; with the right phone number, I'm sure an intermediary could be suggested.

#11  So I guess Israel will stop the shipments it was supposed to send to Ukraine, and use them in Gaza. 155 shells and such.

#10  Joe has apparently never been very bright, and he really doesn't know how to have objectives and priorities and stay the course with them.

Confirming my opinion that the US government is really run by whoever won the bureaucratic turf wars last night--and it does change from day to day.

#9  So he's using aid to Israel to influence the election. Trump got impeached for less.

#8  Why withhold precision bombs? I mean simple dumb bombs will still be effective, if you use enough of them, and spread them around enough, right?

#6  ^ Yes, advance planning for the inevitable betrayal. It's part of a much larger genetic make up.

#5  Israel doesn't seem too concerned.

I suspect the IDF was planning for this Biden policy and planned an operation that wouldn't require the supplies that are being withheld.

#3  This is basically an admission that they are screwed without the muzz vote and take the self-hating Jew vote for granted.
