Biden Regime Invites Hamas-Linked CAIR to the White House, Then Lies About It

Every aspect of this story is bad, and each horrifying aspect is competing with the others for which can have the most negative consequences for the American people. After Jews suffered attacks in Chicago, the Biden regime reached out not to Jewish leaders, but to Muslim groups, including open supporters of Hamas. Muslims, however, enraged at the regime’s continued (albeit hollow) support for Israel, refused to show. Then a Biden regime wonk lied brazenly and denied that one of the worst of the Muslim groups was even invited. This is the state of our staggered, sputtering republic in the fourth year of this radically anti-American and anti-democratic regime.

This latest imbroglio started when Politico reported Thursday that “Illinois leaders in the Palestinian communities angry over how President Joe Biden has handled the Middle East war have turned down a request by the White House to meet in Chicago today.” We can see who is claiming the moral high ground, and who has the upper hand. After Hamas brutally and gleefully murdered 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, Islamic groups and their leftist allies immediately began to claim victimhood at any sign of Israeli self-defense, fabricating casualty numbers before a world that was all too eager to be fooled, and even preposterously claiming that Israel was conducting a “genocide” when independent observers have dubbed the IDF “the most moral army in the world.”

Despite all that, Muslim and leftist leaders around the world know that making wild claims about Israel and affecting a posture of aggrieved victimhood can win them ready concessions from the U.S., the European Union, and the United Nations, and so they’ve been striking victim poses aggressively since Oct. 7. It has worked. The Biden regime is on its heels, desperately worried by threats from the likes of Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the winsome Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) to withhold the Muslim vote if the regime doesn’t betray Israel. And so it has been doing just that, step by step, in slow motion: $100 million to Gaza, $10 billion to Hamas’ financiers, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and ever-increasing pressure on the Netanyahu government.

Meanwhile, the regime keeps trying to placate Muslim and Arab groups inside the U.S.: “Tom Perez, a senior adviser to the president, and other advisers had planned to sit down in three separate meetings with various Palestinian, Arab and Muslim leaders and elected officials to discuss tensions in the Middle East. The private meetings were to come on the heels of similar gatherings in Detroit.” The professional victims, however, stayed in character: “But most folks contacted turned down the request, according to six people we talked to." Any meeting being held will be with a smaller group of players.”

Not only did they refuse to meet with White House apparatchiks, but they continued to excoriate the regime for its alleged support of Israel. One Muslim spokesman declared that his group considered “anyone — Palestinian, Muslim, Arab — who takes a meeting with the White House to be an absolute sell-out.” One of those who declined to attend was Ahmed Rehab of Hamas-linked CAIR, who explained: “We believe a thousand percent in civic engagement. We preach it. But this is an unusual moment and requires an unusual response. We have made clear that a ceasefire is needed.”

The outreach to CAIR, whose top dog Awad infamously said that he was “happy” about Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre, embarrassed even the Biden regime apparatchiks. Jewish Insider correspondent Gabby Deutsch stated: “WH spox @AndrewJBates46 told me that CAIR was *not* invited to WH mtgs in Chicago w/ Muslim Americans—& that the group is NEVER invited to WH mtgs.”

This just piled embarrassment upon embarrassment. Unfortunately, for the wretched regime wonk Bates, CAIR has been frequently invited to Biden's White House and has posted press releases detailing the meetings. But the idea of the regime kowtowing to an organization with actual Hamas ties is too much even for Biden’s handlers, and so Bates was apparently instructed to lie about the meetings, exposing the Biden team as both dishonest and pro-Hamas.

Even worse is the timing. Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies pointed out that “since Friday: Pro-Hamas antisemitic rioters in Chicago intimidated the House of Blues to cancel a Jewish singer’s sold-out show. The venue cited security concerns. Loyola University told Jewish students they could no longer allow a survivor of the Nova music festival massacre to speak on campus. The university cited security concerns. Jews were attacked while trying to enter a theatre to watch footage of the Nova music festival massacre. Jews are not even allowed to mourn the massacres without being attacked in the city of Chicago. The mayor says nothing. The president says nothing. But the White House is sending staff to meet with the organizers of these violent riots and assaults instead of defending the Jews they are trying to drive underground.”

That’s right. And if this is happening more or less out in the open, albeit with inept and half-hearted attempts to cover it up, imagine the betrayals that are going on behind the scenes.

After Iran Killed 3 U.S. Soldiers, Biden Regime Gives It $10,000,000,000 Sanctions Waiver

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/03/after-iran-killed-3-u-s-soldiers-biden-regime-gives-it-10000000000-sanctions-waiver; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Treason

This story is worse than it sounds. And while that’s true of nearly everything this administration does, it’s truly true here.

Iran’s terror militias launched a wave of rocket attacks against American soldiers in Iraq and Syria under Biden. There were dozens of these attacks last year alone.

In the spring of 2023, Scott Patrick Dubis, a 52-year-old military contractor who had worked on U.S. military bases in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Qatar, was killed in an Iranian-backed attack.

Three US Army soldiers were killed and over 30 were wounded in an Iranian-backed drone attack on a position on the Jordanian-Syrian border. This is the worst death toll in some time.

Beyond that, Iran was behind the Hamas Oct 7 attack which killed over 30 Americans and we’re in a battle with its Houthi proxies over shipping in the Red Sea.

So what does Joe Biden go ahead and do?

The Biden administration on Wednesday reapproved a sanctions waiver that unlocks upwards of $10 billion in frozen funds for the Iranian government, according to a copy of a notice submitted to Congress late Wednesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

But this is Joe Biden we’re talking about. In October 2001, Biden proposethat, “this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran.”

So why is this story even worse than it sounds?

“The sanctions waiver—which has drawn fierce GOP opposition on Capitol Hill—allows Iraq to transfer electricity payments to Iran via third-party countries.”

Now remember, Iran has effectively taken over Iraq. 3 American soldiers were killed because Iran has developed major Shiite militia forces across Iraq. The transfer payments prop up Iraq’s dependency on Iran which leads to further attacks on Americans. This is not some sort of indirect issue, it’s the core problem.

Not only is Iran profiting, but Iraq continues to be wired into Iran which makes a mockery of the entire war.

The State Department would not immediately confirm transmitting the sanctions waiver to Congress, but defended its previous renewals on Tuesday in response to Free Beacon questions.

“Since 2018, the waiver has remained necessary as Iraq weans itself off Iranian energy imports, which cannot happen overnight,” a State Department spokesman told the Free Beacon. “And Iraq is making progress in its path to energy self-sufficiency by increasing regional electricity interconnections, capturing and utilizing natural gas associated with oil production, and developing new domestic gas resources.”

2018. Six years later, Iraq has yet to “wean itself off”.

Iraq has plenty of its own natural gas. It keeps buying Iranian energy because its government is corrupt and because Iran’s Shiite catspaws run the place. Rather than put a stop to this, Biden is authorizing it by providing yet more waivers so the same corrupt arrangement remains in place.

Biden Regime Actively Seeking to Overthrow Israeli Government to Save Hamas

“What can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”

Since Oct 7, the Biden administration pivoted from backing Israel’s effort to remove Hamas, to backing the effort by Hamas allies from Dearborn to Qatar to overthrow the Israeli government in order to save Hamas.

One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says, “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse." They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”

“What can we demand, which will collapse his coalition” is revealing as hell. The Obama administration was infamous for trying to use pressure on Israel to create splits inside its coalition government. Biden’s people are trying to do the same thing.

The report comes from Noga Tarnopolsky and calling her biased and hostile is an understatement, but this stuff is now showing up in intelligence reports.

The 2024 ODNI claims that, “Netanyahu’s viability as leader as well as his governing coalition of far-right and ultraorthodox parties that pursued hardline policies on Palestinian and security issues may be in jeopardy. Distrust of Netanyahu’s ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public from its already high levels before the war, and we expect large protests demanding his resignation and new elections. A different, more moderate government is a possibility.”

The 2023 and 2022 reports, it goes without saying, did not delve into the status of the democratically elected government of an allied nation. They analyzed terrorist activity in the region. As they should be doing.

The 2024 ODNI makes a point of singling out only two world leaders, Netanyahu and India’s Modi. One guesses as to what they have in common. They both oppose Islamic terrorism.

Our intelligence apparatus has rotted through with Islamic terror supporters and sympathizers.

The 2024 ODNI treats Netanyahu as a leader to be overthrown and suggests that this would be a good outcome. It’s a hostile act from a hostile administration that is doing everything it can to save Islamic terrorists.

SEE: https://www.oann.com/newsroom/latest-pennsylvania-poll-gives-trump-the-edge-over-biden/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

A new poll has revealed that Pennsylvania voters would choose to vote for former President Donald Trump over current President Joe Biden. 

In the latest Emerson College Polling/Hill survey sent out on Thursday morning, Trump continues to hold a lead of 47% to 43%. 

The survey analysis also revealed that when asked which way they were leaning in the election, Trump had a lead of 52%-48%.

Since November, Trump has led Biden in every Emerson Poll in the state of Pennsylvania.

The latest numbers are alarming for the Biden campaign. The Democrat won Pennsylvania in the 2020 election after he utilized the “State of Independence” to reveal his government programs and initiatives. 

Additionally, most experts believe that Pennsylvania will be a key state in deciding the 2024 election after Trump beat out Hillary Clinton in it in 2016. 

The survey also showed that “President Biden holds a 38% job approval among Pennsylvania voters and a 55% job disapproval.” 

Voters also stated that they believe Trump would be the better option to handle immigration and the Israel-Hamas war. However, voters also believe Biden has an edge in abortion access.

“There is a distinction in motivation between Biden and Trump voters,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “Trump voters support the former president because they care about an issue (28%), like Trump (27%), or dislike Biden (21%), whereas a plurality of Biden voters (33%) support the president because they dislike Trump and 24% support Biden because they like him as a candidate.”

Biden reportedly attempting to collapse Netanyahu government mid-war

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/03/biden-reportedly-attempting-to-collapse-netanyahu-government-mid-war; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Recall that the U.S. State Department funded a Leftist group that was behind chaotic protests in Israel against Netanyahu’s judicial reform last March. This and more makes it clear that Biden is no friend to Netanyahu. Biden also views Netanyahu as the “primary obstacle” to Israel changing “its military tactics in the Gaza Strip.” On a personal level, according to NBC News, Biden is hostile to Netanyahu:

“He just feels like this is enough,” one of the people said of the views expressed by Biden. “It has to stop.”…..

His descriptions of his dealings with Netanyahu are peppered with contemptuous references to Netanyahu as “this guy,” these people said. And in at least three recent instances, Biden has called Netanyahu an “a**hole,” according to three of the people directly familiar with his comments.

A core reason why Biden is now reportedly “attempting to force the ‘collapse’ of the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu” in the middle of a war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza:

Netanyahu has been a frequent obstacle to Democrats’ policies in the Middle East, starting with his opposition to President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, and continuing into his opposition to Biden’s Palestinian state ideas.

Another reason is the dilemma Biden faces in light of the upcoming elections, given his dependence on the Muslim vote and the pressure he has been receiving from Muslim communities. By shifting attention to Israel and the Netanyahu government, Biden diverts scrutiny away from himself and creates an excuse for evading his responsibility to ally with Israel against jihad terror. He also gets to shift blame away from his administration for pouring money into the coffers of Iran. Under Obama, Iran — a main funder of Hamas — saw $33.3 billion dollars in backroom deals flow into its coffers. Under Biden, billions more flowed into Iran.

Creating a crisis to avert attention and responsibility has become a signature ploy of Democrats.

“Report: Biden Trying to Collapse Netanyahu Government, Mid-war,” by  Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart, March 11, 2024:

U.S. President Joe Biden is reportedly attempting to force the “collapse” of the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the middle of a war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza and a potential war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Biden has been increasingly hostile to Netanyahu in his public remarks, recently saying that Netanyahu is “hurting” Israel more than he is helping it through his conduct of the war. (Netanyahu fired back, saying that Biden was “wrong.”)

Now, New York Magazine reports that the Biden administration is actively looking for ways to force Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition, which has been remarkably unified, to fall apart, which would bring about early elections. Report (original emphasis):

One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says, “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse." They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”

In the event the new American position over Netanyahu remained unclear, Vice-President Kamala Harris left no doubts in a Friday interview with CBS News, which asked “Are the Israelis at risk of losing U.S. aid if this continues?” Harris replied: “I think it’s important for us to distinguish or at least not conflate the Israeli government with the Israeli people.”….

80 signatories from 10 countries issue formal complaint to UN Human Rights Council over Sharia abuse of women

It isn’t often that you hear about formal complaints to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) about the violation of women’s human rights occasioned by the Sharia. According to human rights activist Deepti Mahajan, who runs the Coalition CHINGARI, 80 signatories from the US, Canada, Israel, India, the UK, Austria, Australia, Netherlands, Russia, and South Africa signed a petition to the UN Human Rights Council (myself included).

CHINGARI advocates for Hindu girls and raises awareness about their abduction and forced conversion in Pakistan. The issue has been covered over the years at Jihad Watch. At least 1,000 Hindu and Christian girls are forcibly converted to Islam each year, despite growing awareness and even protests.

Mahajan stated that signatories include “Muslims, ex Muslim women and men, victims of Sharia, intellectuals, professors, journalists, and professionals.”

The complaint to the UNHRC was submitted in time for International Women’s Day, and the formal press release is below. You’ll notice the many themes covered by Jihad Watch on a regular basis. The UN Human Rights Council is “responsible for the promotion and protection of all human rights around the globe,” according to its own website, but fails repeatedly.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY PRESS NOTE 

SHARIA FORMALLY CHALLENGED AS VIOLATING WOMEN’S HUMAN RIGHTS BEFORE THE UNITED NATIONS (UN) HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION

Women, and men of all faiths from many countries, victims of terrorism, human rights defenders, professors, activists, and concerned persons have jointly and formally lodged a complaint before the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council on the gross, reliably attested, and continuing pattern of the violation of women’s human rights caused by Sharia.

The complaint is not Islamophobic as, according to the UN, “criticism of the ideas, leaders, symbols or practices of Islam” is not in itself Islamophobia, and “international human rights law protects individuals, not religions.” The complaint is on the thematic and transnational topic of continuing violation of women’s human rights caused by three related issues: (a) violence against women, (b) Sharia, and (c) aspects of Islamic culture.  Based on extensive and irrefutable publicly available evidence, including UN documents and the lived experiences of women affected by Sharia, it draws attention to Sharia’s incompatibility with international human rights law, especially the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) that came into force in 1981.  Some non-exhaustive examples are as follows:

Violence against women: Sharia-linked violence is inflicted upon women in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia.

This includes the recent extreme sexual violence committed against Israeli women in October 2023 by Hamas proven by the UN; the infliction of sexual slavery on Yezidi women by the Islamic State (IS); killing of Iranian women for not wearing the hijab; the trafficking, kidnapping, and conversion of Coptic Christian girls in Egypt; kidnapping of girls and women in Nigeria by Boko Haram; mass attacks on women in Germany in 2015; the rape of girls in the UK by the so-called ‘grooming gangs’; the forced conversion, kidnapping and murder of Hindu girls in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to name a few.

Sharia: Statistical analysis demonstrates that 71% of the Qur’an’s text gives women lower status than men.  In the Hadith, 91% of the text about women state that a woman has a lower status than a man. Key Qur’anic verses sanction male violence to compel a woman’s ‘obedience’; allow child marriage and polygamy, discriminate in inheritance, and prohibit a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim.

Islamic culture: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is widespread in parts of the Islamic world.  Immigration from Muslim countries has increased FGM in the West.  Islamic culture compels Muslim women to undergo unnecessary surgery to restore their hymen.  UN reports show how Islamic culture demeans women.   Islamic culture impedes women’s education in some parts of the world and blocks advancement for educated Muslim women.  Muslim women do not have equal opportunities to participate actively in sports and physical education and have poorer access to mosques as compared to Muslim men.  Head coverings for Muslim women are linked to complex security, health, educational, cultural, and civilizational issues.  Muslim leaders have also violated Muslim women’s reproductive right to choose the number of children by advocating the use of Muslim birth rates as a non-military strategy to conquer non-Muslim lands.  Warnings have come from ex-Muslim women because of this worldwide and the continuing pattern of Sharia violating women’s human rights.

Action requested: The Human Rights Council should:

i. Request a single consolidated response from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), including one standardized, worldwide codification of the Sharia and an explanation as to why Sharia should not be considered a fundamental cause of violation of women’s human rights.

ii. Appoint two non-Muslim rapporteurs, one who is a Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief and the second, a Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, to mandate them to work in a coordinated manner and report to the Human Rights Council on the following issues:

a. Submit a thematic report on the elements of Sharia that discriminate against and have negatively impacted the lives of Muslim and non-Muslim women.  The two rapporteurs should ensure that the views of ex-Muslim, reformist Muslim women, critics of Islam, and others impacted by these norms are the primary sources of data for this report.

b. Advise the Council if the elements of the Sharia are contrary to resolution 16/18 adopted by the Human Rights Council in 2011 which related to ‘combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of, and discrimination, incitement to violence and violence against, persons based on religion or belief’ as they relate to non-Muslims.

c. To work with and assist UN Women to determine the extent to which the elements of Sharia are the root cause of inequality and violence by extremist Muslims against women.

d. To determine if the word “kuffar” violates the UN definition of ‘hate speech.’

e. To work closely with UN Women and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women thereby enabling the Committee mentioned above to hold days of general discussion (DGDs) on ‘The Rights of Women and Girls to be protected against specific norms in the Sharia that violate CEDAW and other human rights treaties on women’ and to further enable the Committee to issue a General Recommendation to State parties.

iii. The Human Rights Council should consider the extent to which elements of Sharia have been demonstrated to cause crimes against humanity and gender apartheid against women, as recorded in its 2016 report on ISIS crimes against Yazidis, and the joint report by the Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan and the Working Group on discrimination against women and girls.  Based on these reports, it should contribute to ongoing discussions towards a universal treaty on crimes against humanity and the need to include specific elements of the Sharia as risk factors that heighten the likelihood of such crimes against women.

iv. The Human Rights Council should request the International Law Commission to determine the extent to which elements of Sharia should be classified as harmful practices and therefore null and void as being contrary to international human rights law.

SEE: https://www.oann.com/newsroom/tuesdays-hur-report-takeaways-in-biden-classified-documents-inquiry/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Tuesday’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee was provided by Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who looked into President Biden’s possession of secret documents after he left as vice president under former President Barack Obama. 

Hur faced intense questioning from Republicans over his determination that there was not enough evidence to prosecute Biden. Democrats, on the other hand, criticized him for making derogatory comments regarding Biden’s mental capacity in his report. These remarks included referring to him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” and someone with “diminished faculties in advancing age.”

Here are a few takeaways:

Both sides launched attacks against Hur.

Certain portions of Hur’s report did not sit well with members of either party. Republicans expressed their displeasure that Biden was not prosecuted, citing a criminal indictment against former President Donald J. Trump, which charges him with deliberately holding onto classified national security information. Meanwhile, Democrats said that Hur had broken Justice Department policy by disparaging Biden’s mental capacity.

Representative Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), claimed that Hur had purposefully supplied fodder to “play into the Republicans’ narrative that the president is unfit for office because he is senile.” He pointed to Biden’s “animated” delivery of the State of the Union speech as evidence that this description was untrue.

However, many social media users chimed in and expressed that it seemed like Biden took an Adderall pill or some other kind of “upper” drug before the address, since his upbeat energy was untypical of him and he looked to have dilated pupils. 

Johnson accused Hur, a former Trump political appointee, of “doing everything you can to get President Trump re-elected so that you can get appointed as a federal judge or perhaps to another position in the Department of Justice,” after forcing him to admit that he is a registered Republican.

“Partisan politics had no place whatsoever in my work, it had no place in the investigative steps that I took, it had no place in the decision that I made, and it had no place in a single word of my report,” Hur asserted.

On the other hand, Representative Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) claimed that Hur was shielding Biden from what he perceived to be a politicized double standard by the Justice Department.

“I want to thank you for the work you have done as far as you can, but unfortunately, you are part of the Praetorian Guard that guards the swamp out here in Washington, D.C., protecting the elites — and Joe Biden is part of that company of the elites,” Tiffany said.

The session was mostly dominated by attempts to gain political points.

Other than Biden’s mental cognition, Hur’s evidence was mostly clear during the hearing. Republicans highlighted how Biden is a criminal who has gotten away with his crimes because, in the words of Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), “the elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top” and he is a “senile cooperator.”

Biden’s allies tried to insinuate that Hur’s report represented an exoneration of the president as soon as it was made public last month. According to their account, Biden was “innocent,” as Hur claims that he was unable to gather enough evidence to prosecute the president.

Following her claim that Hur cleared the president, Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) attempted to move on with her remarks. “I did not ‘exonerate’ him—that word does not appear in the report,” Hur said, shooting back. Under questioning from both sides, he reiterated that fact numerous times.

Throughout the entire hearing, Hur remained motionless and seldom objected to questions from congressmen, even when their claims ran counter to what he had written or stated, unless he was personally defending himself.

Republicans, such as Representative Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.), utilized their time to compare the improper possession of classified documents by Biden and Trump. However, Hur remained silent and repeated the findings of his report, which stated that there are “several material distinctions.”

During the following eight months of the 2024 presidential campaign, when Biden will confront Trump again, some of the most heated debates will most likely center on the president’s age and cognitive ability.

Concerns about Biden’s age among voters from both parties have plagued him for months. At 81, he is already the oldest president to be elected. Although he and his supporters have downplayed those worries, Hur’s report detailed memory issues that he experienced during a five-hour interview.

Republicans continued to highlight the president’s mental cognition on multiple occasions on Tuesday, but Hur would not discuss anything beyond what was written in his report. Democrats, meanwhile, fiercely disputed Hur’s claim that he was not acting politically.

“You were not born yesterday,” said Representative Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.). “You understood exactly what you were doing. It was a choice.”

Hur’s denial that he cleared Biden will be “political gold” for the president’s opponents in the upcoming 2024 election.

Biden’s Gaza Pier is More Than a Disappointed Bridge

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/03/bidens-pier-is-more-than-a-disappointed-bridge; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Joe Biden thinks the solution to the hunger problem in Gaza is for the U.S. to build a floating pier on the coast of the Strip, and to deliver food aid to Gaza by ship. Vessels laden with food would first be examined by the IDF at a port in Cyprus, then set sail for this pier on the Gazan coast, where food would be loaded onto waiting trucks that would then take their cargo to distribution points throughout Gaza. Biden apparently does not realize that the problem with food in Gaza is not that there is not enough of it, but that Hamas steals so much of it for its own members and their families: it is a problem not of quantity, but of improper distribution. Right now, 150 trucks, each one carrying 12,000 kilograms of food (aside from medicine), enter Gaza each day. That is a total of 1,800,000 kilograms of food per day, or 0.78 kilograms of food for each of the 2,300,000 residents of Gaza, most of whom are children. 0.78 kilograms is 1.72 pounds of food for each inhabitant. That would be enough food if it were evenly distributed, but it isn’t.

Much of that food aid is immediately seized — hijacked — by Hamas, which keeps a good deal of it for its own fighters and their extended families, and sells some of what remains at wildly inflated prices to civilians who scrape together what they can to buy this food stolen by the terror group. More on this fatally flawed plan, which Biden unveiled so proudly in his State of the Union speech, can be found here: “The floating pier plan will fail." Here’s why.” Elder of Ziyon, March 8, 2024:

During the State of the Union address, President Biden stated:

Tonight, I’m directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the coast of Gaza that can receive large shipments carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters.

No U.S. boots will be on the ground. A temporary pier will enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.

And Israel must do its part. Israel must allow more aid into Gaza to ensure humanitarian workers aren’t caught in the crossfire. They’re announcing they’re going to have a crossing to northern Gaza.

Elder of Ziyon comments:

The Gaza pier plan will not work.

The problem with aid distribution is that Hamas keeps trying to disrupt it, so Israel would be blamed for the resultant suffering. They are hijacking aid, shooting into crowds, instigating riots and in general trying to make it look like Israel cannot keep the peace the way Hamas could.

Hamas is not interested in alleviating the suffering of people in Gaza. Its entire history testifies to that supreme indifference. Three Hamas leaders — Khaled Meshaal, Mousa bin Marzouk, and Ismail Haniyeh — have stolen a total of $11 billion that was meant to be shared by the people of Gaza. And now Hamas, instead of distributing in an orderly fashion the food that remains once Hamas has taken its share, creates pandemonium around the trucks of food aid. Hamas operatives fired into the air, creating panic, encouraging rioters to assault the trucks and their drivers, in attempts to seize as much food as they could for themselves and their families. Violence and hysteria have frightened some truck drivers into attempting to step on the gas; an Egyptian truck driver was beaten to death by a Palestinian mob when he did so. In this mess, rioting Gazans not only stampede one another to death, but some have fallen under the wheels of slowly moving trucks. Hamas uses such heart-rending scenes to accuse the IDF of having created these food riots, when the IDF has done nothing more than watch and try, from a distance, to keep the rioters’ murderous impulses in check by firing warning shots into the air.

Bringing aid into Gaza has not been the primary problem; getting it to the people safely has been. It is a lot easier to disrupt delivery than to do the logistics of distribution.

The IDF is good at logistics but this is an entirely different problem. Hamas is even turning food distribution into a military action where civilians must be protected from their own purported people who can pop up from tunnels and shoot at them to start the next stampede easier than they can shoot the IDF.

The more stampedes there are around the food aid trucks, and the subsequent deaths of Gazans, the more the IDF — rather than Hamas — is blamed for this breakdown in order. Just as Hamas wants.

Biden, Kamala Send Ramadan Message Empathizing With Hamas Supporters

A very special genocidal Ramadan message.

To commemorate the Islamic period of Ramadan, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris reached out to Muslims to express sympathy for the pain they’re feeling at having failed to kill all the Jews.

“The sacred month is a time for reflection and renewal. This year comes at a moment of immense pain. The war in Gaza has inflicted terrible suffering on the Palestinian people,” Biden messaged those Muslims who are deeply upset at their failure to wipe out the Jews in the months since Oct 7.

While Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and other Islamic terrorist groups have tried hard, Biden acknowledged that they have fallen short of their highest aspirations.

“As Muslims gather around the world over the coming days and weeks to break their fast, the suffering of the Palestinian people will be front of mind for many. "It is front of mind for me,” he added, assuring Muslims who have been very unhappy that since Oct 7, more Islamic terrorists than Jews have been killed in the fighting.

“To Muslims across our country, please know that you are deeply valued members of our American family,” Biden also assured Muslims worried that their blatant support for terrorism might have alienated some Americans. “To those who are grieving during this time of war, I hear you, I see you.”

Vice President Kamala Harris also made a point of reaching out to Muslims deeply upset at the fairly small number of Jews who had been killed.

“I know that there is great pain in the community. What we are seeing every day in Gaza is devastating,” Kamala empathized with Muslims upset at the catastrophic defeat suffered by Hamas.

“President Biden and I will continue to work to ease the suffering in Gaza and support the right of the Palestinian people to dignity, freedom, and self-determination,” Kamala assured those Muslims still hoping that Hamas will win and the Jews will die.

Biden Will Send 1,000 Troops to Bring Aid to Gazans, 0 to Retrieve Hostages

There are people on social media who spend their time claiming that American soldiers will fight and die for Israel.

Anyone who knows anything about the Biden administration also recognizes that for the joke that it is.

There are 6 Americans still held hostage in Gaza. After the Oct 7 attack, the administration was asked if it would send in a rescue force to get any of the Americans who were held hostage out then. The answer was no.

But Biden is finally sending in the troops. Not to save the hostages from Hamas, but to build a nice pier to supply aid to Hamas supporters in Gaza.

floating pier and causeway that will be used to deliver critical humanitarian aid by sea to Gaza is expected to take at least a month or possibly as long as two for the US military to build and become fully operational, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Patrick Ryder said on Friday.

Ryder also said construction of the pier and causeway will likely require as many as 1,000 US military personnel to be completed.

Are any of those personnel going to be in danger?

The official word from the administration is that there will be no ‘boots on the ground’, just in the water. That’s borderline meaningless. And it’s not just Hamas there. The Houthis and Hezbollah have taken to lobbying rockets around, and the presence of a sizable contingent of vulnerable U.S. personnel will draw them like flies.

Two months is a whole lot of time in which to plan and execute an attack.

Biden has sent 0 troops to rescue the hostages from Hamas, but he’s sending 1,000 into a war zone to provide aid to Hamas supporters.

He’s also refused to use the military to secure our border by ending the flow of migrant invaders across it.

But once again, Biden has found a way to use the military to aid our enemies. He won’t use the military to protect America, but he’ll use it to send aid to Hamas.
