Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently admitted at a congressional hearing that American soldiers operating Biden’s disastrous “aid pier” for Gaza could come under attack from Islamic terrorists.
Biden has not sent a single soldier to recover American hostages being held by Hamas, but there are now soldiers in the line of fire in order to send aid to Gaza.
In the event American forces on the pier come under attack, they would be allowed to fight back, Austin promised. But based on the rules of engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan, all the terrorists have to do is attack from a mosque or from behind civilians, and American soldiers would be banned from fighting back.
And those are the ways that Hamas tends to attack.
Late last month, Islamic terrorists did fire mortar shells at the pier, forcing a UN team to flee for cover and damaging some of our equipment. After the attack it was announced that the Israeli military would be tasked with providing security for the pier since Biden’s efforts to recruit Muslim allies to protect it had failed.
After the mortar attack, the terror pier was moved to the Israeli port of Ashdod, allegedly because of the bad weather, but also because of the terrorist attacks. It’s still sitting in Ashdod, despite having been completed because it’s too fragile to move in stormy weather. What’s going to happen if there’s bad weather once the pier is in place? If this one breaks, we’ll probably have to build another one.
But after having wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on the terror pier, Biden is waiting on the Israelis to secure it. Even with the Israelis physically attaching the pier, so that Biden can claim that there are American “no boots on the ground”, American personnel will still be within firing range of Islamic terrorists in Gaza.
This would not be a threat if Biden would stop interfering with Israel’s war on the terrorists. But the pier is part of the Biden administration’s campaign to undermine Israel’s war effort. And that’s putting American lives at risk.
Beyond the terror pier, there are now reports that after Israel finally took control of the border crossing between Egypt and Gaza (despite years of lies about an ‘open-air concentration camp’, Egypt, an Arab Muslim country, has its own border crossing with the Islamic terror state), Biden wants America to step in.
Unwilling to have Israel control the Rafah crossing into Egypt, where the majority of Hamas’ terror forces are based, negotiations are reportedly underway to bring in a “private American security company” that “has operated in several African and Middle Eastern countries, guarding strategic sites like oil fields, airports, army bases and sensitive border crossings” which “employs veterans of elite U.S. Army units.” This is likely to be Blackwater (which has been renamed several times) or some company like it with similar capabilities.
The ex-military personnel won’t count as “boots on the ground” but having private security contractors performing military tasks and then getting killed is no better than American military forces dying in combat with terrorists. The use of contractors during the War on Terror helped hide casualty rates, but didn’t lessen the fact that Americans were still being killed. As we saw in Benghazi.
Above all else, there is no reason for American forces, no matter how they’re classified to be tasked with securing the so-called aid crossings, whether it’s Biden’s terror pier or the Rafah crossing, when the Israelis should be in charge.
And the Israelis want to be in charge.
The only reason Americans are being put in harm’s way is because Biden doesn’t want the Israelis in control. And after trying to solicit anyone else to step in, Americans are being put at risk to protect Islamic terrorists from Israel.
Opponents of the Jewish State have often accused Israel of putting Americans at risk, but it’s those opponents, especially in the Biden administration, whose obsession with protecting Muslim terrorists from Israel is really endangering us.
What is America’s national interest in protecting Iran’s terror proxies in Gaza?
Set aside any sentimental attachments to the Jewish State or any religious and cultural sympathies, and there’s still no conceivable reason to prop up another of the terrorist ‘dragon’s teeth’ that Iran has sown in Yemen, Lebanon and Israel.
The lineage of the ‘Palestinian’ cause can be traced back to the Soviet Union’s Marxist terrorist operations, Nazi Germany’s influence operation with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and, more recently, the Islamic revolution in Iran. What all of those have in common was that they were efforts to subvert the Western presence in the Middle East by recruiting and funding Muslim terror groups.
America had tried to stay out of it until Jimmy Carter decided to make common cause with Islamic terrorists. This disastrous policy led to the Islamic takeover of Iran and then Afghanistan, and to the deaths of thousands of Americans. Carter also embraced the ‘Palestinian’ cause and Clinton committed us to spending endless billions trying to create an Islamic terror state in Israel.
Until Trump, no president had the courage to try and disentangle us from the ‘Palestinians’. And until Biden, no president was this close to committing American troops to protecting a population that universally wants to kill us.
Israel wants to end the terror threat from Gaza and the West Bank. Biden should let it. Life was a whole lot better for everyone before Clinton’s experiment in ‘nation building’ led to endless waves of terror in pursuit of a ‘Palestinian’ state.
If Biden really cared about the lives of Arab Muslims living in Gaza, he would let Israel quickly finish the job of putting down the terrorists. Like the rules of engagement imposed on American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, the only thing that the restrictions imposed on the Israeli military have done is get good men killed while dragging out a war that could have been ended long ago.
Too many American civilians were already killed in Islamic terror attacks in Israel. If Israel is willing to drain the terror swamps in the West Bank and Gaza, let it.
No American should die to protect Hamas or its supporters in Gaza.
The idea that we were going to neutralize ‘trouble spots’ through nation building has been tested and failed badly. While Biden washed his hands of Afghanistan, he still insists on keeping the mirage of a ‘Palestinian’ state going even though it predated our involvement in Afghanistan by a decade and failed even worse.
It’s time to end the worst and longest nation building experiment to date.
The obsession with creating a ‘Palestinian state’ has cost billions of dollars and the lives of American civilians. Now Biden is risking the death of American soldiers, in or out of uniform, to keep the nation building dream alive.
Biden withdrew from Afghanistan, but now he wants to get us into Gaza.
Was thid article written before Biden’s just-announced embargo of bombs and other U.S. made weaponry to Israel? It seems so.
Since Biden has now illegally stopped shipments of military materiel to Israel, I hope Netanyahu tells Biden that Israel can no longer help safeguard the pier, as all Israeli military personnel involved must be redeployed to fight Hamas, as badly needed U.S. weaponry is no longer forthcoming. I also fervently hope that without Israel’s protection, this pier comes under attack by Hamas and its allies and is utterly destroyed.
This illegal and treasonous act by Biden against our only true ally is yet another impeachable offense. But the Uniparty will do nothing.
Correction: I meant to write that Israel is our only true ally in the Middle East. Sorry.
Hamas has attacked the pier causing minor damage.
Biden is a dishonest, stupid, corrupt person without principles beyond his personal ambitions. So are most of the people around him. So you just have to expect that any policy coming out of this maladministration is going to be poorly thought out and disastrous. This pier will be no different.
Look, we all have to get on our knees and pray to God to destroy this Marxist menace, everything from Black Lives Matter, the Soros operations, Hamas, and the hundreds of other commie organizations that pop up like dandelions. They are all related and want to destroy anything decent 8n the Western world.
No American should be assigned stationed or contracted to guard this pier
If any Americans go to protect the pier, give aid, or in any other way participate in Gaza, they have forfeited their own lives. One must have the strength to say no in such situations. Screw the ”you took an oath” crowd. That oath works both ways, the military is not supposed to put their soldiers into stupid no win conflicts.
Use the stupid system these fools have put into place if that is the only option, claim to be a tranny, and get out..
Do not die for these thankless morons.
The purpose of the military should be returned to its original purpose – to kill and destroy the enemy. We have many great warriors who would oblige happily. And post-traumatic stress disorder would be greatly diminished with clear-cut rules of engagement and a complete absence of social engineering.
Steven Brizel – I agree with you wholeheartedly. The thought of
Biden – the worse President in American history who’s done
everything in his power to destroy our country – sending our troops
into the crosshairs of Islamic terrorists makes my blood boil.
Especially since during U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan on the
20th anniversary of the 9/11 Islamic attack – Biden’s disregard for
American lives enabled the death of 13 of our own troops! As he
gifted billions of dollars of military equipment to Islamo terrorists
(Taliban) while he was at it by leaving it behind.
People may do bad things and get away with it for a time, but in the end they will not escape judgment, especially if they are deliberately abusing and causing harm to Israel.
Agree.. Am an American Gramma but a hawk. WWI & WWII grandpa & dad, Viet Nam husband, USAF, 31 yr. son. He needs a courageous Comnander-in-Chief. Flew in Afghanistan & Syria. Made Colonel at 42. Commands 188 fliers (94 F-15E Strike Eagle jets); trains 80 new aircrew / year..
Correction: Son is 42 yrs. old; in USAF 21 yrs..
The LeftTwats in charge are out to destroy western society. This is merely one of the many manifestations of this cause.
TaliBiden has been out to destroy Israel since 1982 when Begin told him off. Now 42 years later he is getting his revenge
Biden is trying to gain the Jihadi vote in Michigan and Minnesota
There is total evil running the government of the United States. We must start choosing responsible people, and also make sure our elections are secure. We are no better than a 3rd world country now, and in total decline.
My sentiments exactly and it breaks my heart to see America being destroyed in this manner. Í want my America back, the America that was free of leftist sicko communists and now Hamas sympathizers. Free America from the Hamas commie left!!!!
Right. Biden’s “nation building” while our own country is in a shambles. Utterly despicable every which way one looks and no exit coming up fast enough.
The Israelis should cut Biden’s pier adrift and let it float off into the middle of the Med.
In poor weather.
Whoops! No idea how that happened, honestly . . .
Biden’s treachery and treason against America and Israel and their citizens knows no bounds.
Stabbing Israel in the back is the actual real policy of Biden and his administration and the democrat party.
I think Israel needs to increase its nuclear weapon count from about 300 presently
to 1000 nuclear warheads ready to go.
Biden and the democrats are now embracing and supporting the 1400 year old depraved psychopathic
murderous berserk Islamic scourge against humanity.
Biden and his administration and supporters must be charged, arrested, put on trial, and convicted and
imprisoned for treason, high crimes and treachery against America, Israel and their citizens
immediately after Donald Trump is elected President again.
I know it sounds trite.
But i just cannot describe the creep better than these two dudes in their hay day:
“Obama: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.”
Obama Sec of Def Robert Gates: Joe Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” ”
When the dope reads the teleprompter, it cracks me up to hear the fool read the instructions.
May God help us please.
My sentiments exactly and it breaks my heart to see America being destroyed in this manner. Í want my America back, the America that was free of leftist sicko communists and now Hamas sympathizers. Free America from the Hamas commie left!!!!
Biden is what you get when you cross an incompetent, demented old man with a looney tunes clown. Sorry.
Wow, twisted policies. These times are definitely distress with perplexity. The US security coordinator for Israel and the PLO are spending tax payer resources to build a Palestinian Terror army. Obama-Biden sought to undo US order in the Middle East, an arrangement that has kept a volatile strategy by vital region relatively stable. They wanted all of Trump’s successes transformed into failures at America’s expense, and at the additional price of destroying the prospects of a relatively hopeful future for the Middle East. Moves put in place by the Biden administration are not primarily about destabilizing the Middle East, Rather they are designed to destabilize the United States, so the US is no longer a reliable power.
The new place of Residence for Biden is in the Big House not the Whitehouse and Lifetime stay to
Biden ‘is offering Israel top secret intelligence detailing exact locations of Hamas leaders and their hidden tunnels in bid to stave off full-scale invasion of Rafah’
True or is Team Biden trying to middy the waters?
How would the US no except satellites or sigint?
We need to call our senators and representatives and tell them that we need to get out of there and let Israel do what it thinks best! We need to call them until the capital switchboard is overwhelmed! We need to call them now and let them know!
The “aid pier” is just a way for the Biden administration to circumvent Israel’s ability to interdict weapons going to Hamas. Why won’t Congress shut down the funding for it?
Congress is corrupt. It as if the entire congress went to Epstein’s or P What’s -his-name’s islands and are all being blackmailed. Who are these congressmen and is corruption drugs sex and alcohol abuse a job description?
I think, for the better good of America and the world, the Bidens, the Obamas and the Clintons should all be made to ride in a drop-top limo in a loop around Dealey Plaza until something happens.
Top five places I think some Ham-ass might be hiding.
1. Basement of the White House
2. Butt-Krak Hussein Obamas house
3. Deerborn Michigan
4. St Paul Minnesota
5. The mosques on the Temple Mount
Brandon is the poster child for term term limits. Fifty years. NOTHING to show for his “Public Service.”
NEVER, EVER vote for a Dem, progressive, liberal or RINO. Or ANY career pol of ANY party!
Congressional term limits. Twelve years LIFETIME maximum.
No retirement benefits.
Afterall, it is “Public Service.”
Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.
Restore States rights.
Time for those other nations to start protecting their own people and close their Borders
