Ever since Joe Biden became President, the Bidenites have done a great deal of harm to our closest ally, Israel. The Administration renewed $330 million in aid to UNRWA that the previous administration had halted, and did so despite that anti-Israel organization continuing to use hair-raisingly antisemitic textbooks in its schools, in direct contradiction of its repeated promises to replace those texts. The Bidenites have given hundreds of millions of dollars, too, to the Palestinian Authority, even though such aid violates the Taylor Force Act that Congress passed in 2018. The Taylor Force Act is an attempt to prevent the Palestinian Authority from continuing to reward Palestinian terrorists and their families through its “Pay-For-Slay” program. It outlaws the transfer of American funds to the Palestinians as long as they continue their “Pay-For-Slay” program, by which the PA pays generous monthly stipends, funneled through the Palestinian Authority Martyr’s Fund, to those prisoners who have committed acts of terrorism and to the families of deceased terrorists. Families of individuals killed by Israeli security forces are paid stipends of at least $1,000 per month. The families of convicted Palestinians serving time in Israeli prisons receive $3,000 or higher per month, many times more than the average Palestinian salary. These sums have served to reward past, and incentivize future, terrorism. About $350 million has been transferred yearly under the program. Mahmoud Abbas melodramatically proclaimed in 2018, after the Taylor Force Act was passed, that “even if we have only a penny left, we will give it to the martyrs, the prisoners and their families.”
In April, the Bidenites announced that they were transferring $235 million in aid to the P.A., and counting subsequent payments, they have given a total of $360 million in 2021 to the PA. The Bidenites have failed to provide a convincing rationale for violating the Taylor Force Act. They claim that the aid being given to the PA is “humanitarian” and therefore exempt from Taylor Force, but there is no such exemption in the Act itself. Nonetheless, Tony Blinken insists that “the U.S. government is also firmly committed to ensuring all its assistance is provided consistent with applicable U.S. law, including the Taylor Force Act.” This is flatly untrue.
The Administration has made other promises, too, that harm our ally Israel. Biden has pledged to allow the PLO to reopen an office in Washington. So far, that has not taken place, but the worrisome commitment has been made. The PLO, of course, is a terror group that works for the destruction of the Jewish state. Apparently that is not enough to convince the Bidenites to continue keeping its Washington office closed.
In the U.N., where endless anti-Israel resolutions are passed in the General Assembly and the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, the Biden Administration on November 10 chose to abstain rather than voting “No” — as it had always done when Trump was President — on a resolution reaffirming the Palestinian “right of return” which, if it were ever to come to pass, would mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state. At the U.N., the Bidenites were semaphoring to the world that Israel is on its own.
Antony Blinken is known to keep raising the issue of settlements in his meetings with Bennett, Gantz, and Lapid, expressing the Bidenites’ unhappiness with Israel for approving – how dare it make such a move without American consent? – 3,000 apartment units to be built in existing settlements in order to accommodate the natural growth in population. For the Bidenites, any new settlements, and any additional building in existing settlements, constitute an “obstacle to peace.”
And then there is Iran. The Administration is eager to have Iran return to the 2015 deal, and has not been paying much attention to Israel’s repeatedly expressed concern that Iran will continue to violate the terms of that deal, as it has been doing ever since 2015, and keep on its march pell-mell to enrich uranium to the weapons-grade level of 90%, after which Tehran could within weeks produce a bomb.
Israel now assumes it will have to deal militarily with Iran on its own. The Israeli Air Force has been preparing for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear program. But there are two weapons not in its arsenal that it still needs. The first weapon it needs are MOPs, that is, Massive Ordnance Penetrators, or bunker busters, large enough to penetrate the mountain at Fordow and destroy the nuclear facilities located deep inside. The Americans have such a weapon, weighing 20,000 pounds, and Israel has conveyed its need to Washington for those bunker-busters, but as yet has received no reply.
And the second weapon Israel needs are tanker planes, which are needed to refuel planes flying to, and from, Iran. Israel has already paid the Americans for four such tankers, but it has requested a speeded-up delivery of two of them. A report on this request, and its shocking denial, is here: “Americans Deny Israel Early Delivery of Tanker Planes,” i24 News, December 13, 2021:
As Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz urges the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to prepare for military operations against Iran’s nuclear program, the IDF appealed to the Americans for an early delivery of two of the four tanker planes acquired under a purchase contract.
The US response was negative, Ynet reported on Monday.
According to the source, the ministerial committee in charge of equipment acquisitions approved the purchase of four Boeing KC-46 refueling planes, capable of reaching a range of more than 6,835 miles.
The aircraft also can fly for a period of 11 to 12 hours. The plane is able to refuel dozens of combat aircraft thanks to a fuel “pod.”
The assistance of the planes is important in the event of an operation against Iran, and according to the contract, they should be delivered by the Americans in at least four years to replace old planes.
Senior IDF officials have tried unsuccessfully to persuade their counterparts in the United States as part of their preparations against Iran’s nuclear program [to provide speeded-up delivery of two of the tanker planes].
Israel, however, hopes for the delivery [of the tanker planes] during the next year, and is preparing operationally against the Islamic republic.
But the Bidenites have already turned down Israel’s request for speeded-up delivery of two of the planes. What would make them change their minds? Fear of losing control of Congress in 2022? Or is there some other way to make them come to their geopolitical senses?
Along with the acquisition of weapons and interceptor missiles for its Iron Dome, the Air Force is also planning a detailed and updated training plan.
Unless Israel is allowed to buy those bunker buster bombs, it will be unable to destroy the nuclear facilities Iran has built inside the mountain at Fordow, and other sites, too, that have not been made public, but are similarly situated deep underground. So far the Americans have turned down the Jewish state’s request without explanation.
Just as shocking is the Biden Administration’s denying Israel’s request for speeded-up delivery of two tanker planes that it will need in order to refuel fighter planes and bombers going all the way to Iran and back.
The Administration appears to have forgotten the law according to which the American government is obligated to maintain Israel’s QME – its qualitative military edge. That means, at present, giving Israel the weaponry it must have if it is to destroy the nuclear facilities of Iran, a state that keeps declaring its intention to “obliterate” the Jewish state. And that means supplying Israel with both bunker buster bombs, and with tanker planes it has already paid for but not yet taken delivery, if it is to retain its QME.
The Bidenites have treated Israel with contumely. Not only is the Administration ignoring its duty, as leader of the Free World, to prevent Iran, by force if necessary (and it will undoubtedly be necessary) from producing nuclear weapons, but still worse, it will not provide Israel with the weapons it needs if it is left, as now seems certain, go it alone. The Bidenites are trying to hold Israel back from attacking Iran, by withholding those indispensable bunker busters and the fuel tanker planes. There has not been such a betrayal of a small and threatened country since Chamberlain and Daladier refused to stand by Czechoslovakia, many long years ago, at Munich.

This is another attempt to create tension in America between Christians and Jews and Muslims. The marxist left in the Demo party of course hates all religions, but has an affinity to Islam, because it is more like totalitarian communism and also hates traditional Christian and Jewish American values. Thus privileging Islam drives a wedge into American society and may lead to secularization, Islamization and Marxism in America. Of course the leftists hate Israel, they believe in atheism and treating the party as the true source of truth and the ersatz god.

Israel is not going to get these bunker busters, or the tanker planes it so desperately needs, not while this Biden administration is still in office. They have chosen to take the side of not just Israels enemy, but their own enemy. They are undeniably the most corrupt, and treacherous government the US has ever had.This would never happen under Trump.
If Israel doesn’t have have a plan B to destroy their nuclear facilities, then it is inevitable that Iran will get the bomb, then God help us.

“They are undeniably the most corrupt, and treacherous government the US has ever had.”
As far as I can tell, that statement is true.
Perhaps Wellington could weigh in…

Joe Biden and his Bidenites must have a reverse view of reality. For they see the PLO, Hamas and Hezbollah and even that hostile “mullah tyranny” is Iran as “good” and Biden and his crew have betrayed America’s ally Israel.
Therefore, they must view the State of Israel as something that is “bad.”
This is, somewhat, of a reflection of what is written in the Bible. Which reads “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, Biden’s betrayal of Israel may, rightly, be coupled with his betrayal of American and the American people. So much so, let us not be naïve about him, that if possible he would inflect upon American and Americans a socialist /Marxist tyranny if he could.
As the type of tyrannical government as in, the classic novel 1984 by George Orwell that was later made into a movie. In which , is headed by “Big Brother,” who issued a new speak dictionary with taught “Peace is war” and “Love is hate” and “Truth is error” and that the State headed by Big Brother declared that if it say “2+2 = 5 then it is 5.”
This is also , somewhat, similar to American , headed by Joe Biden, who are appropriately be titled “Big Brother.” With his “new speak” in which he declares “a bad economy is a good economy” and the crime of store break in and steal is now called “concern and worry about COVID -19.
To add to this folly the Patriot pro – Trump rally in Washing DC is now called an “insurrection.”
As the news commentator on Fox news, rightly, said, “That was not an Insurrection”
The mayhem that started was because of instigated by Antifa infiltrators and even the politically correct corrupted FBI. Likewise the real patriots at that rally are, By Biden leftist new speak are called “domestic terrorist.”
Many on them with being official charged are still languishing in Federal prison and treated terribly under Biden , Big Brother , is doing his upmost , by abusing his presidential position and cover up such horrendous Constitutional human rights violations of those American citizens.
As the awfully treated character, Wilson, in the novel and movie when asked how he “feels about Big Brother ?’ Wilson very understandably replied, “I hate him”
Likewise “Big Brother Biden’ is responsible for wrecking America and depriving Conservatives of their basic civil and human rights , that Big Brother siting in the White House might not be worth the energy to hate, he surely deserves no respect and does deserve , by all informed Americans a strong feeling of contempt.
