As Israel continues to prosecute its multi-front war against Iran’s proxy armies, the Biden administration has yet again stepped in to hinder the Jewish state and aid Tehran.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have sent a joint letter demanding the Netanyahu government take “urgent and sustained actions” to ensure humanitarian aid is getting into Gaza — giving Israel 30 days to comply, or else face possible restrictions on arms sales at a crucial moment.
It’s the usual leftist lies, of course.
Israel has been ensuring that aid flows into Gaza while Hamasniks and other Palestinian thugs steal and hoard it; in response to the administration’s latest BS, the Israeli agency that manages aid flows posted images on X proving that aid is getting in.
The letter also claims that Israel’s security requirements on aid entry are too onerous, when in fact they’re simply meant to make sure terrorists or criminals aren’t sneaking in contraband: What’s the problem with providing accurate manifests for the cargo and passport details for the personnel entering the war zone?
Remember, too, that the reason Gaza’s civilians are suffering in the first place is that Hamas uses the entire strip as a giant human shield for its killers and materiel.
And why send the letter now?
Well, the Biden White House has an ugly history of trying to restrain Israel whenever it seems to be winning — largely because Biden foreign policy is fundamentally, and insanely, pro-Iran.
And the past month has been a series of major victories against Hezbollah for the Jewish state, including the death of genocidal bully boy Hassan Nasrallah.
But we suspect the main reason is the customary one with President Biden: He has his eye on short-term political gains.
Not for himself, this time, but for Kamala Harris. (Note that the 30 days are up after the election.)
The veep is facing major headwinds with Arab-American voters and antisemitic ultra-leftists because she’s not seen as being sufficiently anti-Israel.
This letter is a clear way of helping her burnish her credentials with the Jew-haters in her national base and anti-Israel voters in Michigan (two groups with real overlap).
And it would be just as strategically disastrous for Israel to listen this time as it would have been to heed any other disingenuous Biden urging to give up the fight.
