The Biden administration, Qatar and assorted countries are trying to hammer out a hostage deal that would free thousands of Hamas terrorists and effectively end Israel’s war against the terror group. Since Israel isn’t thrilled about the idea, the Biden administration is looking to apply pressure by using weapons shipments. And that’s why foreign aid to Israel exists.
Our defense industry is financed with foreign aid in the form of weapons shipments so that D.C. can then control the countries that receive those shipments. And decide when they can fight and when they can’t.
The Biden administration is discussing using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to convince the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to heed long-standing U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip, according to three current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.
At the direction of the White House, the Pentagon has been reviewing what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage, said the sources. They said no decisions have been made.
Mind you, we’re not even talking about the larger weapons package that Biden announced after the attacks.
The Biden administration tied that package to a much bigger package for Ukraine and a border “deal” that’s in oblivion. This is more in the way of regular resupply.
But the way our defense foreign aid setup works is on the razor blade or printer cartridge model. You get the system for what seems like a good deal, but whenever you need ammo, you have to turn to D.C. Whether you buy it or not, D.C. gets to decide. That’s what Taiwan is dealing with right now. And so the deal turns out not to be a good deal after all.
Right now Biden wants Israel to wind down the war on Hamas. Slowing down resupply means Israel will have to slow down, stop or shift its own operations to depending even more on ground personnel which will cost the lives of more soldiers. And it’s dealing with the possibility that if war breaks out with Hezbollah or other Iran proxies, it will be dangerously undersupplied.
But at least Biden did send over $2 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over.
Particularly interesting is the Battle of Khan Yunis. Its the hometown to many Hamas leaders. The tunnel system there is vast and contains the headquarters for most of the terrorist leadership who have surrounded themselves with the human shields of 136 hostages. Hamas operates without uniforms, the come up from the tunnels unarmed and dressed as civilians, then they grab one of the thousands of weapons stashed throughout the city of Gaza. If this administration wanted to stop Hamas and send a message to terrorists, they would be giving Israel everything she needs and blocking aid to Hamas.
indeed, instead it’s letting the Qatari influence campaign push it to save Hamas
There was a terrible con by the left, decimating Israeli arms production.
Seventy-five percent of the military aid to Israel, under the deal Obama pushed through, must be spent with U.S. companies in the U.S. That’s how they decimated the Israel arms industry. They weren’t’t allowed to use it to bolster their own. The Israelis actually believed it when Democrat Presidents told them they had Israel’s back. That’ll learn them.
The current 10-year MOU was structured to gradually shift the US-supplied component to 100%. So Israel foolishly decided to outsource more of the basic munitions from Israeli to US suppliers . Some of that came from co-production rights associated with funding for Iron Dome. That’s why Raytheon is now manufacturing Iron Dome interceptors.
Israel should make itself available for laundering money to the democrat party, and some select rinos, and the sky’s the limit for the money and munitions the democrat party will give, not just sell, to the IDF.
Argubly,if Trump hadn’t renaged on the nuclear agreement with Iran relations may have been better.Trumps pro-Zionist agenda likely influenced his poor decision,here.As well, Biden’s pro-Zionist postition influenced his decision to refuse to call for a humanitarian ceasefire that todate has cost the lives of 10,000 Children.Biden also supplied tank shells,etc to the Apartheid Jewish State that allowed the wanton killings..
Ameriica needs to look after her own interests and would be far better off in that respect by leaving the Jewish State to its own devices.The Jewish state is not worth the trouble. Just sayin’.
“Biden slowing weapons to Israel”?
