U.S. put a hold on an ammunition shipment to Israel

The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios.

Why it matters: It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military.

    The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said.

    President Biden is facing sharp criticism among Americans who oppose his support of Israel. The administration in February asked Israel to provide assurances that U.S.-made weapons were being used by Israel Defense Forces in Gaza in accordance with international law. Israel provided a signed letter of assurances in March.

State of play: The Israeli officials said the ammunition shipment to Israel was stopped last week.

    The White House declined to comment.

    The Pentagon, the State Department and the Israeli Prime Minister's Office didn't immediately respond to questions. ...

This article doesn’t explicitly state that the ammunition is being withheld due to Biden admin frustrations with Israeli strategy in Gaza. While that is entirely likely, there is another plausible reason for this hold:  The ammo is going to Ukraine instead.

You know, Joe, when they run out of Conventional ammo, that just leaves them with nukes...

With all the times the democrats have dumped fully armed Armies of ours onto the radical muslim terrorist groups and nations, and supported Muslim aggression against the Jews and Americans, even in times of war.  Odd how they find disarming the Jews and Americans a democrat fanatical agenda and never ending quest.  How are so many fools utterly blind to this?  Brainwashed stoogery by our media and democrat party?
Can you stooges explain it? ? ?

Yeah, there's not enough ammo to go around...the Ukrainians need it more than the Israelis do right now with the Russians starting to break through.

LIEden's anti-Semites were trying to arm-twist Israel into accepting a surrender-grade, unilateral, "cease fire" and not going into Rafah. Netanyahu and Israel decided to deal with the existential threat of Hamas as the existential threat Hamas intentionally is.

Well when there are more 'civillian' deaths because Israel is forced to use dumb munitions they should blame Brandon and his Brown Shirt Boys.

You thought of that consequence, and I thought of that consequence, but I wonder whether LIEden's anti-Semitic minions failed to think that far. Or whether they intended that consequence so as to slander Israel.

To them it's more of bonus that it would also result in the slander of Israel.

Joe Biden: “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as the consequences those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers. And I made it clear — [COUGHS] — that, if they go into Rafah — they haven't gone into Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem. We're going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks like — came out of — the — in — the Middle East recently. But it's — it’s — it’s just wrong. We're not gonna — we're not gonna supply the weapons and the artillery shells used that have been used.”

If LIEden is playing that game then Israel should ask LIEden how much he wants that Iron Beam laser system Israel was going to sell to the US military.

[240B]

"Civilians" have been killed in Israel. But according to American Liberals, Israeli deaths do not count.
Is Obiden going to stop funding Iran? Hamas is just Iran by proxy.

لا, I do not believe Israel is STUPID enough to depend on America for anything. America is a clown country run by fools.
Israel would not place their chips on that sucker bet. Whatever America thinks they are doing, they are doing nothing to Israel.
Israel is a hundred miles ahead of anything the retards in America could ever think of to try to hurt them.

Democrats blow up at Biden for halting weapons shipments to Israel
Sen. Fetterman and Rep. Ritchie Torres have called out Biden for promising to deny weapons shipments to Israel
By Jeffrey Clark Fox News
Published May 9, 2024 9:09am EDT

President Biden is under a barrage of attacks from Republicans and even Democrats over his vow to deny weapons shipments to Israel if it invades Rafah in Gaza. 

"I suspect it's pandering to the far left," Rep. Ritchie Tores, D-N.Y., told Axios. "It looks like election year politics was driving it. That's my impression."

With the anti and pro-Israel wings of the Democratic Party already at odds over massive student protests against the Israel-Hamas war, Biden continues to oversee a divided party in advance of the presidential election.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., an outspoken advocate for Israel's right to defend itself from Hamas, told Axios that he opposed Biden's pause on weapons shipments.

"I strenuously disagree," Fetterman said. "We have to stand with our key ally throughout all of this."

Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., told the outlet that Israel is "surrounded by danger, they need the tools to defend themselves."

Other Democrats, including Rep. Becca Balint and Sen. Tim Kaine, signaled support for Biden's decision.

"I think it's what we've heard from ... all the wings of the caucus, that with Netanyahu continuing [to] threaten an invasion of Rafah, we feel like a message needs to be sent," said Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., also backed Biden's decision.

History does indeed repeat itself.  Many German Jews fully supported Adolf Hitler.  Just as many damn fools are now astonished at what they did fully supporting Joe Biden.  Some might remember my pointing out, why are many rich Jews supporting a second holocaust now if the first one, they assert, was so bad?  May well apply to many Christian this time too!

Turns out I was wrong...it was indeed a deliberate move!  Despicable and damaging!  I'm not sure if Obama would stoop that low (he probably would).
