| Is Israel's biggest danger from the Biden White House? |
| 2023-10-20 |
| [American Thinker] Renowned journalist and Middle East expert Caroline Glick says Israel is now facing dangers from a quarter no one anticipated: the Biden administration. During yesterday’s broadcast of "The Caroline Glick Show" on JNS TV, Glick outlined how her own sources described what’s been happening behind the scenes. Speaking from her home in Israel, Glick said, "We are in danger of losing ... sovereign control over our military." She then presented what sources told her really happened when secretary of state Tony Blinken met with Israel’s war cabinet on Monday. "From what came out of the meeting, Tony Blinken wasn’t trying to help Israel at all. What he was doing was demanding that Israel enable resupply to Gaza, the euphemism of which is ’humanitarian aid.’" She continued to say that Blinken threatened to withhold American war materiel from Israel, such as bunker buster bombs and regular ordinance. And Israel didn’t just decide to invite Biden. His administration demanded that Israel invite him, she said, adding, "I don’t know; ask his presidential campaign." While Israel’s forces have been being held in limbo at the Gaza border, those charged with carrying out the mission began demanding they be allowed to go in. They cited difficulties in maintaining the readiness and morale of troops as well as a loss of the momentum they had after the October 7 massacre. Glick said that lapse in time also allowed the international media to turn on Israel. "We have all these Hamas supporters throughout the Western world who are feeling empowered, and not unreasonably given the backing they’re receiving from the media." Most disturbingly, Glick said commanders at the southern border were told, "We can’t do anything until Biden leaves. So that Biden is literally acting as a human shield for Hamas — so long as he hasn’t arrived yet, and hasn’t left yet, their terror state is going to be free from invasion." She continued to stress that demands to get humanitarian aid to Gaza are demands to resupply Hamas because they control every person and inch of land in Gaza. She then pointed to a tweet from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNWRA) that read: "UNWRA received reports that yesterday a group of people with trucks purporting to be from the Ministry of Health of the de facto authorities in Gaza, removed fuel and medical equipment from the Agency’s compound in Gaza City." That tweet quickly disappeared as fast as UNWRA "put up this thing disavowing the social media posts claiming that Hamas had been plundering their offices." Ironically, Glick said that reports that have come out over the past many years have shown that most of the UNRWA employees in Gaza are members of Hamas. According to Glick, this further supports the fact that Tony Blinken sat for seven hours with Israel’s war cabinet demanding they resupply Hamas. Just before Glick’s broadcast was released, UNRWA reported that an alleged Israeli strike on an UNRWA school had killed six people, and that Israel showed "a flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians," adding, "No place is safe in Gaza anymore, not even UNRWA facilities." But again, as Glick points out, Hamas has a history of launching its missiles from beneath UNWRA schools and hospitals. Making matters worse, the U.S. said they would supply Israel with the bombs, but they weren’t allowed to use them against the missile launching sites — i.e., the UNRWA schools and hospitals. |

So that Biden is literally acting as a human shield for Hamas — so long as he hasn’t arrived yet, and hasn’t left yet, their terror state is going to be free from invasion." I was wondering what he was doing there. This makes more sense than anything else I heard. |
