Biden Commits To Saving Hamas, Will Cut Off Offensive Weapons To Israel If It Enters Rafah
“we’re not gonna supply the weapons and the artillery shells used that have been used” – Hamas immediately hardens hostage negotiating position
We reported earlier how Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed earlier reports of a a ‘pause’ in almost $1 billion in weapons shipments to Israel over its plans to invade Rafah, Hamas’ last stronghold where it’s remaining leadership and battalians are located, along with the hostages. Hamas has been firing rockets from Rafah, and killed four Israeli soldiers at a border crossing used to ship humanitarian aid.
In a CNN interview today, Biden went even further. He threatened that if Israel entered Rafah, the U.S. will halt all offensive weapons supplies to Israel, incuding bombs and artillary shells.
#BREAKING: Biden tells CNN that he will not only continue to pause shipments of bombs to Israel, but also hold up artillery shells because what the IDF has done and wants to do is “just wrong”….

(full interview here)
If Hamas survives in Rafah, it wins the war and gets to reconstitute itself for the future attacks it has promised. Biden is trying to save Hamas.
So are an increasing number of Democrats.
One final point to emphasize is the significant challenge Israel faces as it battles against around twenty armed groups across various fronts including Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Notably, all of these groups are either proxies or clients of Iran.…

After the American statements and actions, the close adviser of the chairman of the political bureau of Hamas, Taher Nuno, hardens his positions:
Hamas is ready to discuss only the proposal it agreed to accept and not any other proposal.
Hamas is ready to continue… (1/3)

Sinwar is a happy man today; he sits in his tunnel and sees how Biden tells Israel, if you go to Rafah, I will stop the arms. He knows now he doesn't need to do anything, no deal, no ceasefire, no hostages. Biden just saved him and Hamas. FJB

I don't envy Bibi; he will have to make a decision that will be, IMHO, historic. There is no going back now; he either continues the Rafah operation or surrenders to Hamas and its new leader, Biden. I will pray for him.

“Biden says he will stop sending bombs and artillery shells to Israel if they launch major invasion of Rafah”
I never thought I’d see an American president side with a terrorist organization over a multigenerational ally. https://t.co/Ezesqzu5E2

Biden just flushed any possible hostage release deal down the toilet. It’s done now.
The 5 Americans who are still chained in Gaza dungeons have a president who prefers the interests of their captors to them.

Pausing congressionally approved weapons to an international ally for domestic political purposes was an impeachable offense 5 years ago. That happened.
They all know it. They all know what's happening. Now pay attention to why it's not being covered that exact same way. https://t.co/nKGbAVg5sq

Dear God
Truly. It’s getting very Biblical now.
Will the majority of Jews here in the States see the light this election?
“I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Robert Gates
That was BEFORE Afghanistan, Ukraine and now his support of Hamas.
The effects are worse than ever before.
Biden is a cruel, corrupt man, at EVERY turn.
I don’t think Biden is running this show. He’s just the frontman for whatever malevolent forces are actually running things.
He’s got plenty to do with it, still, and should not be underestimated when it comes to policy decisions.
That said, the hand of Obama is ever present, just as dishonest and more bent on anti-Americanism and racial strife.
Obama’s Cairo speech. Link goes to Obama’s White House archive.
https://shorturl.at/aer05
A nauseating bit of historical revisionism and fantasy that whitewashed Islamic belligerence, atrocities and intolerance visited upon Jews and Christians, by falsely painting the Cordoba caliphate as an alleged beacon of Islamic benevolence and multi-faith tolerance. This execrable and dishonest propaganda speech was penned by the execrable Ben Rhodes.
Obama kept the in-party threats inside the tent pissing out vs. outside the tent pissing in, even his running mate and Sec of State.
It would be funny to watch them making each other miserable, except sometimes their nonsense leaks out on the rest of us.
He doesn’t even have half a mind to be president, let alone make a decision that important.
He’s just kissing Islamic ass so he can win Minnesota.
“He’s just the frontman…”
Always has been. He’s just for sale, n the people who want things can use him as a front.
Win, win, except for the rest of us.
“I don’t think Biden is running this show. He’s just the frontman”
He’s not in front very often.
That malevolent force is Obama
^^^This.
Hussein Obama. The Manchurian candidate. The man who set out to destroy America under the guise of Fundamental Transformation.
Maybe but he’s the one running for reelection.
Barry Sotero, the Manchurian Candidate.
I agree with you. I also believe that he is on board 100%. He would not have done differently even before his dementia took him out of the drivers seat of his own life.
The Obamunists are running things. Always were.
“Biden is a cruel, corrupt man, at EVERY turn.”
Mean, opportuniistic, and immoral. I try, but I can’t give him the credit of actual evil, or more than shallow malice.
His actions seem to consistently favor chaos and uncertainty.
I know I’m a dreamer, but I would LIKE to think that perhaps Israel had enough warning of this that they were able to stockpile sufficient munitions to finish the job and that Joe can have his little publicity stunt (in an attempt to hold Michigan) with no actual benefit to Hamas.
This ‘final battle’ for Rafah is not going to be fought by smart munitions, but by foot soldiers fighting in streets and tunnels.
I hope, and think, you are correct.
It always comes down to one guy with a rifle going up against another guy with a rifle.
Entirely possible the Saudis and Jordanians may front them sufficient precision munitions to allow the IAF to take out targets.
And yet … couple weeks ago two countries announced they had been able to “scrounge” about a million artillery rounds apiece from “gray markets.”
The Brandon Administration’s been playing the two parallel conflicts off against each other for postioning internationally and for the election.
The only mistake you can make is to be insufficiently cynical.
Israel will find a way , they have to there is no other choice.
They will just buy them from the corrupt Ukrainians.
Israel can obtain 5.56mm and other SAA from somebody other than us.
Disgusting betrayal of an ally.
No country in their right mind should trust American partnership, ever again.
Is he really pandering to the muslim voters? After all there are more muslims than jews in the US, aren’t there?
Is he trying to prolong this disaster as long as possible, ie., till the elections in an effort to demonstrate how ‘forceful’ and in control he is?
Israel need to do what it needs to do now and put an end to this for good.
One takeaway from this is: with an ally like the US who needs enemies?
The communists need Michigan in November. Quite a few Muslims live there and said that they’d sit out en masse if Biden kept supporting Israel over their terrorist pals in Hamas.
All of those. Self serving, provisioning internal election year politics.
Hamas murders 1200 Israelis.
Biden announces ironclad support for Israel.
Students organize pro-Hamas protests.
Biden’s poll numbers drop.
Ironclad support vanishes in thin air.
Biden commits to saving Hamas.
Puts on blue hat: Make Hamas Great Again!
“After all there are more muslims than jews in the US, aren’t there?”
I would be surprised to learn that was true, but not astonished.
If you put the adjective “committed” before both, I might believe it now.
Trump 2024….for Western Civilization itself.
I hate Hamas as much as anyone here, but the offensive weapons that
Biden is “pausing” are 2,000 pound bombs that would destroy several city blocks where you live. Israel never had any intention of using such bombs.
So this is virtue signalling?
Sounds a lot like something Biden, Blinken or Sullivan would say.
The giveaway…..”BUT!”
He said ALL offensive weapons if they go into Rafah.
Lol. Where do you read this garbage? The Mk84 (the base bomb of most of our 2K-lb JDAM variants) contains <1K-lb of Tritonel (or a couple other composite bomb materials) which is just a bit more (about 20% more) explosive than TNT…so roughly the equivalent of 1,100-lbs of TNT, give or take. How big of an explosion is that. Well, for some reference, the 48K-lb ANFO bomb detonated at the Murrah Building in OKC was the equivalent of 4K-lbs of TNT…so, obviously not enough to 'destroy several city blocks.'
Junior’s just full of shit as always. He has said he’s in his 70’s, but he has the overall knowledge level of a pimply teenager.
I’ve already addressed your claim that 2000lb bombs destroy several city blocks. Israel has used more than a handful of 2000lb JDAMs in Gaza already.
Quit being an idiot.
Maybe no one told you about those underground tunnels and bunkers.
Each day I wake up thinking I cannot loathe the senile pedophile and his destructive administration more than I do.
Each day I am proven wrong.
Taiwan must be terrified to learn that the only thing the Chicoms have to do to stop US support of Taiwan in a shooting war is to orchestrate mass demonstrations. It’s a good thing China doesn’t have control of any US social media apps…..right?
If Biden manages to win reelection, the world is going to become an even more dangerous place than it is already. Gird your loins.
I assume that there is some economic reason as to why China hasn’t yet taken Taiwan,..because there is no strategic or tactical reason not to with Biden in the WH
Well, there is the whole problem with an amphibious assault across the Taiwan strait only being possible for a very short window of a few weeks out of the year.
More like cheat his way back into office… those 11 million illegals he imported are going to be and have been handed voter registration along with their phones, plane tickets and debit cards
They’re already doing it. South Carolina (with help from the GOPe) is providing voter registration info to illegals. I’m sure other states are as well.
Trump 2024…..for Western Civilization itself. The Dems are now officially the Party of Hamas…..
Have been for at least 50 years. Just more open about it now.
And this what the Palestinians always do; when they have an Obama type in office, they sit back, kill Jews, make demands and collect US money. Remember Obama called Abbas as one of his first duties as president, and burned the US Israel relationship to the ground. So Biden’s handlers do the same. They have blood on their hands from October 7th already, since the supplied Iran and therefore Hamas with the weaponry. Why should they care if Hamas continues to collect more of our tax payer dollars. On top of all this stupidity, his actions still won’t be enough to win over the Hamas wing of his party, short of going on TV and calling Israel an apartheid state that needs to be destroyed; and then dropping a few nukes, he has no credibility with these haters, and never will. Their level of hate can not be reasoned with or appeased since it is completely illogical and based on a total dehumanization of Jews. No one step will be enough, more and more will keep being demanded. But of course these morons think they know better. And here we go around again in the same old violent cycle of blame the Jew for all the worlds problems, and then hate them for not needing you because we already saw this coming.
Excellent comment!
Obama’s Cairo speech.
Obama-Biden backed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. After Morsi was installed, the MB seized the Nile wheat harvest. Immediately following that, the MB expropriated all bakeries in Alexandria. By controlling bread production and distribution, the staple of food of Alexandrians, Morsi could control the population.
Obama backed the food for fascism play.
Then el-Sisi mounted a coup. The Obama crew and news media literally blew a gasket. By the way -Samantha Power was mixed up in all of it – and she now controls USAID.
They’re incapable of learning. BUT, as we watch concessions from Brandon and the Screaming D’s never be enough, “we” can learn that that no concessions will ever be enough.
The pro-Hamas protesters, faculty, administrators and supporters are a substantial blue voting block. Biden has a choice of whether to support these opposing blue voting groups: pro-Israel or pro-Hamas. He has, quite outrageously, coddled the Hamas terrorists. Evidently Biden believes that the pro-Israel group will vote uniformly Dem in November, regardless.
Palestinian scales the Rafah border wall and falls into the clutches of Egyptian troops.

Obama’s 3rd term is nightmare for Israel.
So Iran is in charge of this country now?
Just the foreign affairs. China runs our domestic policy.
Didn’t the House Democrats impeach Trump for the crime of “Obstruction of Congress” for withholding military aid to Ukraine? How is this any different?
It’s always different with Democrats
Easy. Trump did not withhold military aid to an ally during open hostilities. He put a temporary pause on approved military aid to Ukraine at the request of the State Department since Ukraine had just gone through a leadership change and State wanted to make sure the money didn’t just flow into a new corrupt bureaucrat. At the same time, and NOT linked to the delay, he asked the new leadership of Ukraine to assist in the corruption investigation of a US bureaucrat who had *admitted* to strongarming Ukraine into firing an investigator who was looking into his son’s criminal behavior. In short, Biden did what they accuse Trump of doing, and which Trump didn’t do.
Openly supporting terrorists is a bold move, let’s see how it works out for him Cotton.
Whatever happened to flooding the tunnels? This would minimize civilian casualties and maximize Hamas’ ones. It would also reduce the need for munitions.
That would take one hell of a lot of water, just sayin’
There is a sea nearby.
If Hamas remains intact, they win the war and it will be repeated again and again. Israel cannot win a conventional war for survival when opposed by the US, Iran, and the terrorist groups that they sponsor. They cannot win a conventional war, so we are pushing them towards an unconventional strategy. We are not going to like the result of that.
Subotai Bahadur
Et tu, Biden. When Biden said he had Israel’s back, my first thought was that was what I am afraid of.
How many dead Israelis is each vote in Michigan worth? Biden, you are a despicable person. I won’t say human being because you are not human.
Attributed to Patton: “I’d rather have a division of Germans in front of me than a division of French behind me.”
But, Traitor Joe and his anti-Western, nihilistic junta are even worse than the French.
The Democrat regime has achieved new lows—betraying an ally in multiple ways. First, by negotiating a bogus cease fire deal behind Israel’s back and allowing Hamas to claim (at least briefly) it accepted it. Second, by cutting off arms to Israel—including precision weapons. This forces Israel to use less accurate conventional weapons, thus enhancing the Hamas propaganda opportunities. Finally, the Democrat regime adopted Hamas rhetoric to justify its treachery. Every decent American should be ashamed.
The Obamunists have always hated Israel. Even worse than the Bush 1.0 people.
Traitor Joe is trying to save Hamas because he hates America.
“Hamas survives in Rafah, it wins the war and gets to reconstitute itself for the future attacks it has promised”
This is painfully naive, Israel is creating a generation of new threats that will hate them, along with pissing of the entire international community. Its a diplomatic disaster.
You cannot create something that already exists.
It is time Israel ignored leftist sentiment and got on with the job of killing people who don’t hesitate when it comes to killing Jews for the crime of being Jewish.
It’s time to ignore “friends” who couldn’t give a flying fuck about Jews being killed for the crime of being Jewish.
Finish the job and let God sort them out.
This is so true. Any argument that a given action will upset the Islamists and cause them to hate Jews is completely moot. They already hate the Jews and are already fully committed to killing as many of them as possible.
^^^ Yes, this.
That’s retarded. For you, there is no history … like a typical leftist NPC moron.
Of course, under the Abraham Accords, things in the middle east had done a complete 180 from decades of fruitless American efforts … Trump managed to take the fakestnians off of the table in peace discussions between Israel and its neighbors. But, of course, the first thing Traitor Joe did when he cheated his way into the Oval Office was to totally f**k up the Abraham Accords and squarely put the fakestinians back as the central focus. That, and Traitor Joe’s revitalizing Iran’s bank account, led directly to all of the problems today.
Bart: What is the alternative?
On the contrary, Arabs respect strength and despise weakness. Israel is already being too weak, by going to such extraordinary lengths to avoid civilian casualties. Allowing Hamas to continue existing would only prove to any doubters that Israel is weak and they should continue to fight it.
“This is painfully naive, Israel is creating a generation of new threats that will hate them, along with pissing of the entire international community. Its a diplomatic disaster.”
Speaking of painfully naive, here you are.
So you’re now adding “statesman and diplomat” to your long list of competencies you’ve exhibited in these Comments?
Pro tip, dingus. The Muslims and international community ALREADY hate Israel, and always will.
Did you eat yet another bowl of stupid for breakfast?
Anything short of total elimination of Hamas will embolden the arab street. You are painfully naive.
He’s not naive. He just likes to dump shit out the window to watch the pedestrians recoil.
Concern-troll is concerned! lol
Narcissist-incompetent-dunce, Obama, crime boss, Biden, and the rest of the vile Dhimmi-crats are far, far worse than Neville Chamberlain. Their feckless, self-serving, stupid and morally bankrupt appeasement and enabling of goose-stepping, genocidal Islamofascism and Muslim supremacism is contemptible, indefensible and a brazen moral disgrace/outrage.
Simply put, the vile Dhimmi-crats are as evil as the goose-stepping, genocidal Muslim supremacists and Islamofascists whose predations and sadism they whitewash, rationalize and enable.
Also, ponder the hypocritical gall of Biden’s threat to cut off arms to Israel, after having given a totally perfunctory and pro forma speech regarding the Holocaust, a few days ago. Biden pays lip service to the notion of “never again,” out of one side of his greasy mouth, while, out of the other side of his mouth, he regurgitates Hamas propaganda, unfairly vilifies the IDF, and, gives succor, sustenance, deference and moral legitimacy to the vile and evil goose-stepping, genocidal Islamofascists and Muslim supremacists who are the spiritual predecessors/successors to German National Socialists.
Israel should absolutely go into Rafah and destroy Hamas – the Palis will FOLD. Biden can go to hell.
Soon, hopefully.
I hope Israel gives senile Joe the finger and obliterates Hamas completely. It’s a win win.
Almost everybody lays this on Joe Biden; those who don’t lay it on the Half-Blood Prince.
But…The U.S. Dept. of State has been anti-Israel dating back before the establishment of the State of Israel in ’48; Truman fought an uphill battle against his advisors.
There’s far more to this than what currently meets the eye.
Bingo. DOS is a shower of sh*t and always has been, especially where Israel is concerned.
The feckless, backstabbing Democrat regime (fronted by Prez Afghan Rout) has just proved itself a worthless ally to Israel. Time for Israel to pick up the pace of its war to limit time available for the Democrats’ next betrayal.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Bennett, from 2021 to 2022, was on TV recently and said that Israel should have gone into Rafah 3 months ago.
Which is evidence that Israel has been way too concerned with Gaza “civilian” collateral damage. These “civilians” elected Hamas terrorists to govern, kept them in power, cheered every attack on Israel civilians prior to 10/7, reveled in the 10/7 atrocities—dancing in the streets and spitting on Israeli hostages, rape victims, and murdered. Gazans brought whatever happens on themselves and their children. Why should decent people care more about them and their children than they do. Humanitarian aid comes after unconditional surrender.
fjb is afraid that pro american magas
will take a cue from a group (idf) willing to fight back
How about the idea of flooding the tunnels with water? Even better, how about flooding the tunnels with natural gas and lighting a match?
If those ideas are too much for the squeamish, how about turning off the outside air fans and tossing a few hundred angry skunks into the tunnels?
.
For every complicated problem, there is a solution that is simple, direct, and completely wrong. Merely *talking* about flooding the tunnels and doing some minor flooding of one tunnel with publicity drove a large number of the terrorists out into the open without contaminating the groundwater or running the risk of drowning hostages, so win/win.
Its not possible to “negotiate” with the people behind the massacre of the music festival, with or without intermediary such as egypt. That would be pointless, unless israel is simply going through the motions to buy some extra time to get better military position.
Outrageous and makes Biden into another Neville Chamberlain who thought appeasement good policy. All this likely for the Muslim vote in Michigan and other states. Congress passed aid to Israel and appropriated funds. When Nixon would not spend appropriated funds Congress passed a law stripping the president of the right to withhold directed spending. Depending on the wording of the aid package,Biden’s withholding of the aid may be direct violation of a federal statute. When will Jewish leaders tell Biden that he is about to lose the Jewish vote in PA and MI.? Appears he has chosen Muslims over Jews and enemies over allies.
I think it is a huge departure from Joe Biden’s past, to imagine he thinks this latest move is good policy. So, what changed his mind?
Put another way, we know he’s amenable to 10%. The question is, 10% of what, paid by whom, when, and by what means?
I expect this will remain a CIA secret for as long as, say, the last of the Kennedy assassination papers.
Biden is so senile he doesn’t think about anything but smelling little girls hair and ice cream cones.
That’s not true — he’s obviously worried about losing MI.
Our (Judeo-Christian) Bible states: Deuteronomy 5:17
“‘Thou shall not murder.”
The Muslim Quran/Korans states:: Surah 9:5:
“Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them,
capture them and besiege them,
and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush.
And why should we NOT be Islamophobic??
TRUMP 2024
But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
so if you bow and submit thennnnn they will let you live
how nice of them
I remember wondering why Jews supported the Democratic Party. Well now is the time to mobilize them. Biden’s betrayal of Israel because he wants the political support on Muslims is evil and every Jew should let him know that they won’t support him in the presidential election.
At this point, ANY country that has economic, industrial, or military ties with the United States government needs to be seriously re-examining such ties due to the ever greater likelihood that said government will betray them, even if formal allies and even in time of open war.
1) They need to reduce their financial ties with the US, their holdings in US government securities, and their investments inside the US. Also, limit what US investments they allow in their own country.
2) If their economy is dependent on US imports, especially as components for their own exports; they need to seek alternate sources and as much self-sufficiency as possible.
3) If their military is dependent on US logistics or production, they need to seek alternate sources or self-sufficiency.
Short form, the United States Government is not a dependable ally in any field unless you are a totalitarian state. The Left has made it so; and our own eventual recovery, if it should happen, will be greatly helped if parts of the world are free from US Government compulsion.
