“We made it clear they had to be turned back on”
While people are rightly questioning Elon Musk’s latest Starlink publicity stunt in Gaza, after using the Ukraine war as a backdrop for promoting Starlink, it’s the Biden administration that actually ensured Hamas has internet access.
A senior U.S. official said Sunday that Israel had shut off communications in the enclave of 2.3 million and the United States had pressured the government to switch them back on. The Israelis did not tell their U.S. counterparts why they had switched off communications, the official said.
“We made it clear they had to be turned back on,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations. “The communications are back on. They need to stay back on.”
Why? A senior Biden administration official asked with a straight face.
Why indeed would anyone possibly turn off internet access that allows Hamas to bring in money from abroad (Hamas, like North Korea and other heavily sanctioned entities relies heavily on cryptocurrency), conduct command and control functions, stay abreast of Israeli military operations, have access to Google Maps and Google Earth (helpful for planning attacks), spread propaganda calling for more terror attacks, and maintain communications with their planners in Tehran and Moscow.
I didn’t realize that the internet was a ‘human right’. Also isn’t the media repeating Hamas claims that they have no fuel or power? So how then do they have any internet to access?
Gaza, we’re told, has run out of everything except rockets and iPhones. And if you don’t let Hamas have internet, it’s genocide.

Every day, more news showing just how demonically despicable biden, (bo) and his gang are.
If they had been in charge in 2001 bin laden would not have had to turn off his cell phone. biden, bo and the gang, would have insisted that the terrorist had a *right* to keep in touch….with his terror gang and the WH.
Now, it’s not just phones, it’s the internet biden “demanded” Israel allow the ghouls to have. Who’s paying the bill or are they getting it Free?
This way, hamas and their supporters can arrange virtual meetings for lunch where they make new plans for another attack.
r. tlaib and all the others here in the U.S. who feel as she does, must be grinning from ear to ear.

Obama is behind the Biden administration. In 2008 when he was going up for President, I felt he was definitely a Muslim. There was a photo of him taken with Louis Farrakhan in 2007… it was posted a little while ago and someone said that if that photo had been posted while Obama was a candidate, he wouldn’t be elected so thr news hid that.
I feel that Satan is behind many of those Leftists. Oh there is a video on Youtube for those to see who believe that Islam is a holy religion.

By looking at that one realizes what a horrible person that so called prophet turned into.
Thank goodness Robert Spencer exists and tells exactly what happens.

Hudders. says
I saw this SH too my friend & why are we not surprised?
Just like in the UK, where the muslim voting block threatened to remove their support for the Labour party if certain demands are not made;
We see the political jihad start to take shape.
All islamic political parties are only a short time away now for sure.
Just as they have been planning all along, on the caliphatic road of conquest.

Yes, Hudders, they feel they have the numbers and they are ready to take over and run things according to their lawlessness demanded by their evil book of unholy filth.

“Resettle Gazans abroad? Biden sends a clear message: No.”
“After President Biden spoke Sunday to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi, each side made public what are called “readouts” — official summaries of a conversation. And one area of agreement jumped out: Both leaders opposed the relocation of Gazans to Egypt or any other countries.”
Does this include the U.S.?

Muslims around the entire World use Facebook and Whatsapp to spread their vile hate for Jews while using the two main Apps that is owned by a Jewish American with one, Whatsapp, being invented by an Israeli Jew in Tel Aviv…
Is there a word in Arabic for irony?.
has anybody noticed that Arab muslim come into Israeli to work so they can feed their growing families and yet an Israeli cannot enter Gaza and even if he could he would not be looking for work.
Why is Israel a modern country while Gaza is a shithole as they are both in the same landscape and climate.
Thats not a trick question.

Jews have been hated and detested for CENTURIES. In England in the 13th century they were horribly treated.
They are criticised now because they are defending themselves by keeping their land. However why are England, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, not hotly criticised for having colonized several countries abroad?
The Palestinians don’t really want the land of Israel, they want to kill all the Jews. They also want to islamise the whole world and the majority of those people in the world especially those who support them, have NO idea of what the Muslims’ intentions are. The Jews KNOW that’s why they want them all dead.

The moral bankruptcy of the biden administration is very clear. Seems the top priority is to keep conditions for the MIC favorable for all party members.
The fundamental issue is Islam and that is what needs to kept front and center in all dialogue.
Robert Spencer has made enormous contributions toward an objective and learned approach to understand Islam and the problems of the Middle East. He offers a quick and concise way for people not up to speed about Islam and the decline of the West to get morally and objectively briefed in a relatively short period of time.
