He doesn't get to delay it in an attempt to smooth over his political misfortunes at home. How do I know that? Because that's the standard Democrats set with their first impeachment of Donald Trump. The former president was impeached and given a trial in the Senate in early 2020 based on the idea that he had held up an aid package to Ukraine in an attempt to benefit politically (in this case, investigating Biden family corruption in the country). There is no tangible difference between that and what Biden is doing with this aid to Israel. Congress appropriated the money, and it is being held up by the president to benefit him politically. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/05/07/joe-biden-stops-aid-to-israel-something-we-were-all-assured-is-an-impeachable-offense-n2173876 . 1
B-Man Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Why Israel Must Take Rafah It’s the last sanctuary for Hamas’s military battalions in Gaza. By The Editorial Board The battle for Rafah has begun in Gaza, and it’s an essential part of Israel’s war of self-defense against Hamas. The terrorist group’s leaders have dragged out negotiations for a cease-fire for months, with no intention of freeing hostages while President Biden shielded their stronghold from attack. Now the masterminds of Oct. 7 are learning that Mr. Biden can’t protect them. “No amount of pressure, no decision by any international forum, will stop Israel from defending itself,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday. “If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone. But we know we are not alone, because countless decent people around the world support our cause.” Early Monday morning Israel ordered the evacuation of eastern Rafah, directing civilians to safety. In the afternoon Israeli tanks advanced. The plan is to evacuate and fight in the city piece by piece, swiftly moving civilians north and west without leaving Hamas free to tie down the people as human shields. Objections are pouring in from the usual suspects. France says displacing Rafah’s civilians is a crime. Would it prefer that Israel fight among them, or simply leave Hamas alone? Unrwa says that it will resist evacuation. The United Nations refugee agency again puts its anti-Israel ideology above the safety of Palestinian civilians. The invasion of Rafah was made necessary on Oct. 7, when Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. At that moment it became impossible for Israel to allow Hamas to control territory, remain in power and plan the next massacre, as the terrorists pledge. https://www.wsj.com/articles/rafah-battle-israel-hamas-gaza-cc8ba76b?st=ne751fj7tsyg1vb&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink .
B-Man Posted May 9 Posted May 9 THE BIDEN BETRAYAL By Scott Johnson President Biden publicly acknowledged his betrayal of Israel’s anticipated offensive in Rafah in an interview with Erin Burnett on CNN. The CNN story on the interview is here. As a practical matter, Biden supports Hamas. Biden opposes Israel. Biden’s declaration of “ironclad” support for Israel is “inoperative,” to borrow a term from Watergate. On Tuesday Biden gave a Holocaust remembrance speech decrying those calling for “the annihilation of Israel, the world’s only Jewish State.” Biden asserted that his support for the “security of Israel and its right to exist as an independent Jewish state is ironclad, even when we disagree.” In Biden’s world, the usual principles of rational thought do not obtain. Who says A need not say B. Who says A also says not A. “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden said in reference to the 2,000-pound bombs that Biden is withholding from the IDF. Biden also told Burnett that he’s withholding artillery ammunition. Biden labored to articulate his thinking, or his “thinking.” This is how he put it on CNN: “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden has proved himself a fool many times over. It has long since become redundant. This episode merely puts an exclamation point on it. Every friend of the United States must weigh the price of friendship, Biden style. Every enemy of the United States is experiencing the kind of pleasure that is usually limited to private experience.

Biden Not Appeasing the Dearborn Democrats Either NY TIMES Mr. Biden’s announcement that he had paused a shipment of 3,500 bombs to Israel and would not help with a ground invasion of Rafah was a sea change in U.S. policy that Arab American and Muslim leaders have demanded for months. But those who desired it the most have long ago written off the administration as complicit in a war that Gaza officials say has killed more than 34,000 people, arguing it was, essentially, too little, too late. “The president’s announcement is extremely overdue and horribly insufficient,” said Abbas Alawieh, one of the leaders of a protest-vote movement against Mr. Biden that began in Michigan this year. “He needs to come out against this war. Period. That would be significant.” Mr. Biden’s White House aides engaged in considerable outreach at the outset of the Democratic primary season, when the movement to cast protest votes in early states emerged as a surprising political headache. A cadre of high-level aides traveled to Dearborn, Mich., and Chicago to demonstrate their interest in listening, but Arab American leaders told them that without a momentous shift in U.S. policy — such as support for a permanent cease-fire — there was no need to keep talking. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/10/us/politics/biden-muslim-arab-americans-gaza.html

B-Man Posted May 12 Posted May 12 To be expected: Israel War Cabinet Votes to Expand Rafah Offensive After Biden Threatens to Hold Up Aid by James Lynch Israel is expected to expand its offensive in Rafah after President Joe Biden threatened to withhold military aid in protest of the Jewish state’s battle plans in the Gaza city. The Israeli war cabinet voted Thursday evening to expand the scope of its operation in Rafah after Biden said he would refuse to supply key offensive weapons if Israel conducts a full-scale invasion of the city, according to Axios. Earlier this week, Israel began a limited offensive in Rafah and struck Hamas targets in the eastern part of the city, Hamas’s last major stronghold in Gaza. Before doing so, Israel ordered 100,000 Gazans to evacuate https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israel-war-cabinet-votes-to-expand-rafah-offensive-after-biden-threatens-to-hold-up-aid/ .

B-Man Posted May 15 Posted May 15 More Than 100 Lawmakers Slam Biden For Withholding Weapons From Israel by Nick Pope Dozens of legislators wrote to President Joe Biden on Monday to criticize the Biden administration’s decision to withhold certain weapons from Israel. More than 100 lawmakers, including Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, signed the letter slamming the administration’s decision to hold back certain weapons from Israel, which President Joe Biden addressed during an interview last week with CNN. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have engaged in highly-visible protests imploring Biden to back away from Israel for months before the administration ultimately opted to impose restrictions on military aid to Israeli forces. https://dailycaller.com/2024/05/13/lawmakers-slam-biden-withhold-weapons-israel/ Biden issues veto threat over ‘misguided’ GOP bill on weapons to Israel The Hill [DC], by Brett Samuels The White House on Tuesday said President Biden would veto a House GOP bill intended to pressure him to send weapons to Israel, calling it a “misguided reaction to a deliberate distortion of the Administration’s approach to Israel.” The push back comes ahead of an expected vote this week on the Israel Security Assistance Support Act. GOP lawmakers introduced the bill after Biden warned he would withhold certain offensive weapons for Israel if their forces invaded Rafah in Gaza. But the White House cautioned that the legislation “would undermine the President’s ability to execute an effective foreign policy. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4663954-biden-issues-veto-threat-over-misguided-gop-bill-on-weapons-to-israel/ .
