Im sorry but Net ’N yahoo is almost equally bad as hamas

Our enemies see and are acting on the weakness of the leadership in the White House. Biden’s America.

White House Staffer: “Quick. Don’t mention the fact that Biden gave Iran $6 Billion dollars a couple of weeks ago and that our intelligence didn’t notice 5000 missiles in Gaza”.

Well, when you’ve got extra money laying around you need to put it to work.

The Biden haters jumped right in and have blamed him when he had nothing to do with it. The six billion dollars he returned to Iran was their money that we confiscated from them. It’s still in a bank in Qatar and when given to them, is to be used for humanitarian purposes. No one mentions Russia or Afghanistan who, according to sources, also had a hand in the planning the attacks. They are all for creating chaos in the Middle East to bolster their interests. Our own Freedumb Caucus has made matters worse because they picked now to oust their speaker so our hands are tied to being able to address the issue.

There are no clean hands here. Hamas does not believe Israel has any right to exist and is a terrorist organization. And Israel has basically had a siege of Gaza going on for years and countless human rights abuses. And who will suffer when these two fight? Those civilians in the middle, the weak innocents, who, more than anything, only want to live and go about their business.

I don’t doubt for a minute that Iran helped Hamas plan this attack. Iran is desperate to stop the peace deal and closer ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Iran will be marginalized even further, the closer Israel and the Saudis become. This attack was aimed at derailing that peace, at least from Iran’s point of view. If you can poke your head above the din and resist the partisan urge to point fingers at one another, this is as much of the truth as we know:

*This has been in the planning stages for at least a year – therefore, the money everyone is squawking is political rhetoric and nothing more.

*This conflict has a better-than-average chance of spreading beyond Israel and Hamas.

*I would be looking at Russia for some involvement in this. This is speculation on my part, but Russia has a lot to gain by diverting our attention away from Ukraine. And Russia and Iran have had talks recently.

Bottom line, this is going to get a lot worse for everyone, including the US.

I am rather surprised that the Republicans are siding with Israel. I mean they are promising to side with Putin with the new speaker.

Iran brags they will use their $6 Billion any way they want to. The worse is yet to come. Look what they paid for in Israel with their oil profits. Watch what the Journal of Atomic Scientists does with its doomsday clock.

Republicans seem desperate to find a link to blame Iran for the Israel conflict. On the other hand.. Iran has been supplying Russia with arms/drones to bomb Ukraine.. but that’s okay?

Maybe the Jews can steal more land.

The republiturd House can’t do squat without a Speaker.

Unpatriotic republican liars should be banned.

In order not to realize that, if you give a terrorist nation 6 billion for “essentials” the resources they would otherwise have spent on those essentials WILL be spent on terrorism, you have to be exceptionally stupid. In other words someone who would vote for turnip brain Joe and his band of corrupt criminals.

Excuse me…the US contributes $3bn a year in military aid to Israel. Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of United States foreign assistance since World War II.

Anyone saying that the Abraham Accords promote peace is being foolish. The accords pushed the Palestinians aside, and pretty much slammed the door on a possible two-state solution.

Meanwhile, the Palestinians, especially in Gaza, have been restricted for years from travel and job opportunities. Israelis continue to build settlements. Israelis continue to bulldoze homes.

Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, in addition to costing billions, incensed the Palestinians all the more.

The only surprise here is that it has taken this long for it to boil over. As long as our country supports Mr. Netanyahu and the radical right wing, while ignoring the damage that they are doing to their country and their citizens, the more likely this will happen. If one pays attention to history, Mr. Biden’s administration is just one of many which has coddled the Israeli government’s handling of the Palestinian people, and to blame this solely on Mr. Biden ignores Israel’s history for the past several decades.

It is lazy to blame today for the continually-mounting sins of yesteryear, and dangerous if one tries to fix problems while refusing to acknowlege how they came to be in the first place.

Lots of danger and laziness to be found, and unfortunately, not limited to posters on this forum.

I think the weakness seen was in the theatrics of the GOP-controlled House which wanted to stop all aid to Ukraine. So surely no aid to anyone else? And with Bibi Netanyahu’s theatrics of trying to censor the Israeli judicial system which caused Israeli soldiers to protest… Yea no one is guarding anything these days so it’s a perfect time to attack. It is just as well the Israelis did not give the US-owned stockpiled weapons to the Ukranians as instructed by the Americans because now they will use them themselves. Bloody Bear Pootun must be dancing around his palaces now that the Ukrainians are limited in US support by the GOP House.

OF COURSE THE NUMB NUTS CALLED CONGRESS WOULD NOT TELL THE TRUTH UNLESS WE THE PEOPLE INSIST ON TERM LIMITS AND NO MORE PAID SECURITY (OUR MONEY) AND WHEN THEY LEAVE AFTER 8 YEARS ALL PAYMENTS END EXCEPT SS. I WOULD BET THEY WOULD SEND A WEE BIT MORE MONEY INTO THE FUND .

Everybody now “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb….Bomb, Bomb Iran”

Republicans would feed Ukraine to Putin the wolf.

The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from the United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The text of the declaration was published in the press on 9 November 1917.

Immediately following their declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, the British War Cabinet began to consider the future of Palestine; within two months a memorandum was circulated to the Cabinet by a Zionist Cabinet member, Herbert Samuel, proposing the support of Zionist ambitions in order to enlist the support of Jews in the wider war. A committee was established in April 1915 by British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith to determine their policy towards the Ottoman Empire including Palestine. Asquith, who had favoured post-war reform of the Ottoman Empire, resigned in December 1916; his replacement David Lloyd George favoured partition of the Empire. The first negotiations between the British and the Zionists took place at a conference on 7 February 1917 that included Sir Mark Sykes and the Zionist leadership. Subsequent discussions led to Balfour’s request, on 19 June, that Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann submit a draft of a public declaration. Further drafts were discussed by the British Cabinet during September and October, with input from Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews but with no representation from the local population in Palestine.

Donald Trump’s sharing of alleged classified intelligence to Russian officials in the White House has come under scrutiny amid a large-scale attack by the Hamas Islamist military group against Israel.

In May 2017, the former president defended his actions after he was found to have discussed sensitive details about an alleged Islamic State (ISIS) plot with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office. Trump said he had an absolute right to do so. The intel was said to have been provided to the U.S. from Israel.

Everyone please remember which faction within the USA likes to chant “Jews will not replace us”
