US threatens to pull foreign military aid to Israel over Gaza humanitarian situation

The Biden administration has warned Israel that its actions in Gaza could threaten future U.S. military aid to the Jewish state.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken jointly wrote a letter, dated Sunday, to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer in which they expressed their concerns about the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

“We are now writing to underscore the U.S. government’s deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, and seek urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory,” the U.S. secretaries said, noting that their departments “must continually assess your government’s adherence” to their previous assurances that they would not block aid from getting into the Gaza Strip.

I'd take the opposite approach ... let Israel carpet bomb and fire bomb Gaza until hostages are released or returned ... and blockade Iranian oil exports.

Sinking oil tankers will have a much shorter effect on the price of oil compared to bombing Iranian's oil infrastructure.

Gaza is just one large anti-Israeli terrorist training camp for the Iranians.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Tankers are commonly under other flags. Just hit the loading facilities and associated tank farms. Stop the oil before it ever gets 'feet wet'. That way, you can't be accused of environmental devastation (well except for the carbon footprint).

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Did LIEden and OhBummer! threaten to cut off direct "humanitarian" aid to Hamas and to UNRWA over Hamas' decades of rocketings and other attacks on Israeli civilians?
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The problem with hitting tankers is that some may be owned or under contract to China. That's not going to work in Israel's favor.

Same with taking out the Kharg island terminal. China relies on Iran for a good portion of the crude that it imports, and again, may take some kind of action in retaliation.

The issue is simple:
Iran is making nuclear weapons.
This is a threat.
If you want to "end the threat", then end production of the nuclear weapons.
Directly.

Doing so will probably require "more than" just "conventional" weaponry, however.

The Biden Idiocracy does a great job of destroying the USA reputation with our world allies.  I say f*** every last genocidal maniac in Gaza.  Biden and Co should keep their moronic mouths shut.  Israel is killing their enemies, and starving them to death is well within their right if that needs to be done.

If Grant can starve the Confederacy, then I say Israel can starve the genocidal maniacs of Gaza.  Every last one of them!
