FUNDING GENOCIDE: Biden just announced “$100 million to the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank”.

VDH nails it.

Are Biden & Co. Sane?

By: Victor Davis Hanson

Joe Biden just announced “$100 million for humanitarian assistance” in Gaza and the West Bank”.

Despite his idiotic caveat that “we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need —not Hamas or terrorist groups,” even Biden knows all too well that all money sent to the West Bank and Gaza is fungible and will reach Hamas one way or another. That is, we’ll keep funding “humanitarian aid” to Gaza so that Iran’s money can be better focused on tunnels, rockets, and drones.

And the timing?

Our taxpayers’ cash follows riots and anti-American protests after Hamas et al. falsely claimed that Israel slaughtered 500 civilians. But Biden himself conceded today that the Iran-backed, Hamas-affiliated terrorist group Islamic Jihad was in fact responsible for these innocent Palestinian deaths, when it misfired one of its rockets into a hospital parking lot—a strike that was intended to kill Jewish civilians. (In other words, had the rocket just stayed on course and wiped out some Jews in Tel Aviv, the U.S. would likely have not sent a check to Gaza).

So the U.S. concludes its “humanitarian” aid can be entrusted to those who started the war, keep perpetuating it, and lie and deceive nonstop.

Had Biden really wanted to deflate Iranian-Hamas-Hezbollah aggression and end the war, he would cancel his US-sanctioned $6 billion headed to Iran, cut cash flows to Gaza, cease being snubbed and humiliated by Arab autocrats and skedaddle home, stay put in the basement, and let the IDF deal with Hamas.

Finally, how will Biden’s largess be interpreted by Hamas? Something like: ‘Send out 2,500 murderers to invade Israel and once there butcher, rape, torture, or capture 1,000 Israelis, use Gaza’s civilians as shields to protect killers—and thereby win $100 million more in American aid.’

And in the wider Middle East? Something like: ‘Somehow the pathetic, appeasing Americans have topped their Afghanistan debacle, the opportunistic Russian invasion of Ukraine, their prior protection payoffs to radical Palestinians, their cash infusions to the Iranians, their crazy open border, and their Chinese balloon embarrassment—and so really are too dangerous to be allied with.’
