Biden Delays Arms to Israel
Feckless Joe
US pauses shipment of bombs Israel could use in Rafah
The decision comes amid international outrage over civilian deaths.
By LARA SELIGMAN
The Biden administration has paused a shippment of bombs that could be used in Rafah over concerns that Israel is poised to invade the southern Gaza city where more than a million Palestinians are sheltering.
The decision was based on a review the administration began in April of proposed transfers of weapons that might be used in the densely populated city, according to a senior administration official.
It comes amid international outrage over the civilian toll from Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
U.S. officials have for months warned Israel not to launch a ground operation in the city, which Israel says is Hamas’ last stronghold, because of the likelihood of civilian casualties.
The weapons shipment in question contains 1,800 2,000-lb bombs and 1,700 500-lb bombs, the official said. The administration has not made a final decision on whether to proceed with the shipment.

The sooner Hamas is destroyed the sooner peace will come to Palestine. This is posturing at its worse, and the IDF tanks are already rolling into Gaza.

Joe’s String-Pullers feckless Palestine policy has failed to bring Bibi to heel; just another in a long string of embarrassments for the Oval Office.
Chris Plante (WMAL Washington DC) just mentioned that the mostly peaceful rioters at the GWU campus spray painted “Free Palestine” all over the place, but managed to misspell Palestine. Looks like that tuition is paying off for them.
I prefer ‘ Fry Palestine ‘
Agreed.
FLIM SPRINGFIELD!
This place MUST be hot… they don’t need a big ad, or even correct spelling!
A better explanation is America is running out of ordnance.
No. Nothing more Democrats love to do drop bombs on people. This is classic DC-fence sitting in an election year because Pedo Joe is as popular as a fart in a space suit. His Pro-Hamas/Anti-Israel base is clashing with his Pro-War/Pro-Israel Donor Class. Otherwise, bombs away…
“1,800 2,000-lb bombs and 1,700 500-lb bombs”
Meh. Bring out the big stuff. The really big stuff.
‘beans, are you looking to spread a little sunshine on the situation? Some “canned sunshine”? After all…sunshine is known to be a good disinfectant for parasites.
A single B-17G could carry 8000 lbs internal bomb load.
M43 (500) and M34 (2000) lb.
My dad dropped mostly 250 lb incindiaries but still, thats a
lot of work and waste of time nowadays.
If Israel can get er done in a flash then I’m all for it and I’ll bet
my dad would agree.
God, I miss that man.
Touching reunion between a Navy P-3 Ordie and an old friend.
Say hello to my little friend!
Fill the tunnels with smoke, tear gas, etc. then drop MOAB repeatedly. Till the area has been sanitized of life.
How about if we pump the tunnels full of propane, natural gas, something similar… THEN we go with the MOAB. The mother of all secondaries.
Honey badgers?
I’m really liking that idea! Gonna need a shitload of ’em though.
Maybe a few thousand good old Texas wild hogs. Hungry and pissed. Insh’Allah, bitches.
Yeah, dropped by cargo chute. The concept was proven back in the day by the 19th SF Group unit in Montana. They had a mountain lion as their unit mascot/pet. They put a parachute on him and dropped him at one of their monthly drills. I have seen the photo of the lion sitting in the door of a helo wearing the chute. The story was they only dropped him once. That second attempted jump failed. It was aborted, as he was less than enthusiastic about going out the door, since he knew what was going to happen.
Lesson learned: Don’t try to throw a 130 lb. mountain lion out the door of a helicopter, as he may take you with him. Or, if you survive the attempt, you may need the services of the team medic.
Works with beavers too.

I once read about a SF team with a pet monkey, they built him a little harness and chute, and pitched him out the door. Well, the simian was terrified, and did what scared monkeys do. Climb to safety. He climbed the risers, collapsed the chute…
The mountain lion didn’t have the ability to do that, as they mounted the chute in the middle of his back on his likely center of gravity. Reportedly, he was uninjured in the jump, but was not inclined to tolerate it again.
Big sumbitch probably got all pissy just hearing a Huey!
….”And he ain’t gonna jump no more!”
Now that I like!
We could try that out at the next pro-Palestinian rally.
I approve of this message, I tell you what!

You’ll want some oxygen to really get things moving along 🙂
This is how we play both ends against the middle. Read a speech denouncing rising antisemitism in this country then “pause” shipment of promised, congressionally approved support to Israel because Israel dares to not obey demands how they should conduct a war Hamas started on Oct. 7th.
.
Thank the Lord that we didn’t have these peeps running the country during WW2 and if we did, I would being speaking German or not on this earth due to Mom and Pop being gassed.
I see that once again Biden is maintaining his perfect record on policy decisions.
Just too bad for us that it’s a perfect record of being wrong.
“….international outrage over civilian deaths.”
Whose deaths? The Israelis? Or the Palestinians?
I am not outraged at all. If you teach your children to fight at 10 years old, then you have to be prepared to attend their funeral. There is no civilian Hamas, from birth they are taught hatred for Israel. Kill anyone that fights, at any age.
To be fair, failing to teach your children to fight at 10 years old also demands you be prepared to attend their funeral.
You can push an old woman into the way of an oncoming bus, or you can push her out of the way. The difference is distinct and defining, but both require a practical knowledge of pushing.
Agreed.. so the best option is to not leave anyone alive to attend the funerals.. sanitize the area, in whatever method is most expeditious.. even the rest of the muzzie world thinks the palis are trash.. that should tell you something..
I guess they need to attack immediately while they still have bombs and bullets and before their stockpiles are depleted.
Like ripping off a bandaid or pulling a loose tooth: It’s gonna hurt no matter what, no reason to draw it out longer than necessary; just get it over with.
Or putting a hot needle through a smashed toenail.
The Biden White House version of being “evenhanded” =
Treat your friends like your enemies, and treat your enemies like your friends.
Fuck Joe Biden.
Lars panty’s twisted.
I believe the discussion here last year was that the US pulls the football away as soon as the IA is about to wipe out Hamas forever and have peace in the Middle East, that way the war can continue forever.
Can’t recall who all was in on that one but it happened.
The band played on.
Yup.
As expected, FJB is abandoning another ally and weakening the country even more while doing it.
I’m surprised he hasn’t lit up the White House with the colors of a red canton with 3 fields of black, white, and green in solidarity with Hamas that all the antisemitic leftist fucks love so much.
“The decision was based on a review the administration began in April of proposed transfers of weapons that might be used in the densely populated city, according to a senior administration official.”
Bullshit! The decision was based on the prospect of losing the support of his many anti-Semitic donors!
I read elsewhere the bombs were JDAM and SDB. In other words, precision munitions. Assuming IDF still has dumb ordnance, all this does (aside from the obvious factors of making us look weak and feckless) is force IDF to switch from precision to dumb weapons thus creating more, not less, casualties. Retards.
This is why denying more efficient weapons is a stupid way to preserve the peace.
Speaking as an engineer, they took away my AP land mines, but my mission of counter mobility remains; I’m going to accomplish my mission
– I can use land mines and other very efficient obstacles; I can also do things like collapse a mountainside or divert a river. In hindsight, does denying me land mines make my job any less devastating?
Same thing with firearms – if someone breaks into my house in the dead of night and all I’m allowed to own is a hammer… well, I’m still doing everything I damn well can to get out of that situation alive, just with a whole lot more suffering on the guilty party. Targets don’t get hit nearly as repeatedly as do nails.
As long as everyone is having fun and playing their hardest, that’s what truly counts!
[This smarmy sarcasm has been brought to you by my barren fields and general loathing of that part of the globe]
I has idea. FJB does not want to give weapons to bad people to use in Rafa.. so, he could do just like he did in Iran and give them weapons to use somewhere else. They will totally use those weapons somewhere else.
One huge true fact that the left, especially its useful idiots in the mainstream media ignore is that if Israel lays down its arms it will cease to exist. Now if Ham-ass lays down its arms, there will be PEACE.
True that. But the Hamastani/PaliNazi’s cannot lay down its arms. Killing Jews is their inherent nature; just like a rattlesnake will strike its prey.
What do the backsides of Rashida and Ilhan taste like.
You should know Joe.
probably goat… otherwise the rag heads wouldn’t be interested…
Wasn’t interfering with something congress had already approved one of the things that the demonrats impeached President Trump over? Seems like what’s good for the goose and all that…
I have zero MOUT experience. All I know about it us what I read, ie, Stalingrad, Monte Cassino, Berlin, Hue City… that tells me ruble favors the defenders. Why is the IDF wanting to use dumb bombs if it creates an advantage for the enemy? Even if they eliminate Hamas, there’s just going to be another generation of orphans wanting revenge. Give them the bombs, don’t give the bombs, it won’t matter. There will be plenty of blood spilled either way, and no peace to be had.
Canned sunshine is a hell of a terrorist disinfectant.. and since the UN has already showed that they hate Israel, what do they really have to lose???
This president is so inept he can’t even complete a sentence without screwing it up. So who told him to say we should stop supplying weapons to Israel.So who benefits the most from this decision….? Who has FJB given billions of dollars too. Who is Israels enemy? Who is FJB trying to be friends with?
Iran, and there buddy China.
Latest… Israel pushes into Rafah, Hamas regroups in northern Gaza but Israel getting that too:
