Are Hamas jihadis using American weaponry in their bloody jihad against Israel? The possibility cannot be discounted.
On Saturday, as the Hamas offensive began, videos began circulating of Palestinian Arabs celebrating the massacres of Israeli Jews. In one of them, a jihadi carries a girl who looks to be about seven or eight years old upon his shoulders; disconcertingly, she is carrying a pistol and a rifle. Glenn Beck noticed a striking detail about her rifle, and tweeted on Sunday, “When did Hamas begin to carry AMERICAN AR’s? Didn’t they have AK’s from Russia? Where did these weapons come from? Afghanistan? didn’t we leave a ton behind? Or were they shipped to Ukraine? maybe I am mistaken. #americancorruption #Ukraine️ #Israel #hamasattack”

Maybe he is, but he is far from the only person to suggest that arms that the Biden regime sent to Ukraine have ended up in the hands of the Palestinian jihadis. In fact, Hamas itself posted a video on its Telegram channel thanking Ukraine for sending it arms. Twitter/X readers added a community note to one tweet of this video, saying, “There is no evidence to suggest Ukraine has been selling weapons to Hamas. Hamas get [sic] most of their weaponry from Iran & Syria.”
That may be so, but U.S. arms that Biden’s handlers sent to Ukraine could have made their way to Hamas without the Ukrainian government selling them. Back in late June, according to the Times of Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “ruled out supplying Ukraine with the Iron Dome missile defense system, reiterating Israel’s concern that the vital technology could fall into the hands of Iran.” Netanyahu said, “I think it’s important to understand that we’re concerned also with the possibility that systems that we would give to Ukraine would fall into Iranian hands and could be reverse engineered and we would find ourselves facing Israeli systems used against Israel.”
Also in June, Newsweek reported that “a high-ranking Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commander” said that Israel was “concerned over the risks of weapons provided by the United States and other Western nations to Ukraine ending up in the hands of Israel’s foes in the Middle East, including Iran.” And on Saturday, Abu Obaidah, a commander of Hamas’ Izzuddin Al-Qassam Brigades, said, “We thank the Islamic Republic of Iran who provided us with weapons, money and other equipment! He gave us missiles to destroy Zionist fortresses, and helped us with standard anti-tank missiles!”
American arms sent to Afghanistan could also have fallen into the wrong hands and ended up in Gaza. The June Newsweek report also stated that the same Israeli commander “said some of the U.S. small arms seized in Afghanistan have already been observed in the hands of Palestinian groups operating in the Gaza Strip.”
Even worse, wherever the arms have come from, the Biden regime is largely responsible for bankrolling this bloody jihad against Israel. Not only did Old Joe and his henchmen just send six billion dollars to the Islamic Republic of Iran, amid empty and ridiculous promises that it would only be used for “humanitarian” purposes, but the day before the war began, the Biden regime quietly approved an additional seventy-five million dollars for the Palestinians. Middle East Monitor reported Friday that “in a quiet move bypassing Republican obstructionism, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has approved the release of $75 million in crucial food assistance for Palestinians just hours before the funds were set to be redistributed elsewhere.
Crucial food assistance! What could possibly be wrong with that? The whole world seems to have forgotten one of the most basic lessons of economics: money is fungible. That means, kids, that if I give you ten dollars but warn you not to spend it on pizza, you can take ten dollars that you were going to use to buy school supplies and spend that on pizza. If the Biden regime is giving millions to the Palestinians, it is giving millions to the jihad against Israel, even as Old Joe piously maintains that America is on Israel’s side.
Would there even be a war at all if not for all the money that the Biden regime has showered upon Iran and the Palestinians? The only thing we can say for sure about that is that back when Bad Orange Man was president and the United States wasn’t raining cash on those who scream “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” there was nothing like the bloodletting an appalled world witnessed in Israel Saturday. Has Hamas’ Khaled Meshaal called the White House yet and exclaimed “We did it, Joe!”?
The news is reporting that U.S. has “already” sent weapons to Israel. I wonder if the weapons are obsolete, unsuitable to mission, or unserviceable?
Fake. news comes to mind.
It is bad enough that the TaliBiden regime aids the terrorists but the EuroTrash, UnitedNazis and Iran aid makes it all that much worse.
The Israeli government must stop their inane actions. Turn off all monies, electricity, fuel, food, work, and medical care period. Aiding terrorists does nothing be beget more terrorists. It is way past time to take the kid gloves off and end all terrorist regimes and organizations
Didn’t biden leave weapons behind when he abandoned Afghanistan? Yes he did.
Would the taliban happily give the weapons to someone who would use them against Israel? Yes.
Would the UNRWA facilitate the transfer of weapons? Yes.
Would the Military Industrial Complex be happy? Yes.
Has the $6 Billion to Iran been refrozen?
We know that Ukraine has corruption, but Beck is wrong. Anyone that has been watching the situation knew that Russia was setting up Ukraine with the false flag information that they sold arms to Hamas. Do remember that Hamas was in Russia and they are Putin’s friends. This isolationist garbage from people like Tucker and Beck is not helpful. We need to work on stopping the corruption in Ukraine, but we must support them, as it is in our interest. Russia is trying to steal both the children for their declining population and the natural resources to use in expanding their military. Putin wants Eastern Europe back in the fold, so stop helping him.
To answer the question posed: does a bear produce scat in the north woods?
One could bet that the Taliban probably has sold some of that abandoned military gear in Afghanistan to our Pentagon. It is entirely possibly we purchased some of it back. The US gov gifted aid to the Taliban after we left. Such logic and common sense is so rare and symbolic of national decline.
america fraudulently ensconced feckless joe in 2020 . americans can now share in the crimes that hamas has committed because they elevated dementia joe to the job in the crack house . joes sleigh of hand has produced the current bloodbath as he recalls losing a son in afghanistan . oh ! the humanity of the man !! america should hang its head in shame , but I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for that to occur .
1940 to 1945 German cities were decimated by allied bombings and firestorm which killed 600,000 with an estimated 70,000 being children.
Is this what Palestine is headed toward?
I think they are.
People and their governments make many choices in life.
These terrorists, hopefully, have just last weekend selected themselves out of the human gene pool. This includes all those who celebrated their butchery deeds including the celebrants in their streets. Turn the Gaza into a giant glass top table.
