More than two dozen House Democrats led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer told national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Friday they were “deeply concerned” about President Biden’s decision to withhold military aid from Israel.

Gottheimer (D-NJ) and 25 of his fellow lawmakers wrote in a letter to Sullivan obtained by The Post that “withholding weapons shipments to Israel … only emboldens our mutual enemies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other Iranian-backed proxies.”

“Seven months after October 7, the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the end of the Holocaust, Iranian-backed terrorist proxies continue to fire rockets and mortars into Israel and at Americans from all directions,” they wrote. “At the same time, antisemitism is spreading globally like wildfire.”

Biden, 81, announced Wednesday he would not supply arms to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war effort if his military forces moved forward with an invasion of Rafah, the last stronghold of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“I made clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gotten into Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Thursday that the paused shipment included 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs.

Nobody who paid attention to the populating of LIEden's administration, in the December 2020 transition and after he was inaugurated was surprised by this betrayal. Other than, perhaps, how long it was delayed. If Gottheimer and his buds were surprised, they were not paying attention.

Maybe if Israeli people started screaming DEATH TO AMERICA, we would give them the aid they need.  We sure as hell go out of our way to help those nation states that want us dead.

collins:
Biden is again kissing up to the squad, and it's about time American Jews realize that their party is stabbing Israel in the back just so Biden can win MI and MN's EVs.
