And now an official who funded the murder of a 17-year-old girl is in charge.
A week after the horrors of October 7, when the Biden administration first convinced Israel to open up the siege of Gaza and allow in international aid, it promised Hamas would not get it.
“If Hamas in any way blocks humanitarian assistance from reaching civilians, including by seizing the aid itself, we’ll be the first to condemn it. And we will work to prevent it from happening again,” Secretary of State Blinken pledged.
The problem with such a promise was obvious once Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer struggled to explain to CNN how it would stop Hamas from taking the aid.
“How is the United States going to ensure that none of that ends up in the hands of Hamas?” a CNN anchor asked.
Finer claimed that “this was a primary focus of the president’s diplomacy” and that “it involves securing an understanding among Hamas fighters who control the checkpoints on the other side of the border”.
The Deputy National Security Advisor assured that “the president was quite clear that if this assistance goes in, it cannot be misappropriated, it cannot be taken by Hamas fighters and so we are going to be watching that very closely.”
If anyone is watching, there’s been plenty to see as armed Hamas fighters have hijacked aid convoys in videos taken both by the IDF and civilians in Gaza. In video after video, Hamas terrorists seize aid, assault civilians who, in some cases, respond by hurling abuse and stones.
On Halloween, John Kirby, Biden’s national security spokesman, denied anything was going on.
“We have seen no indication, none, that Hamas has gotten their hands on any of the humanitarian assistance that has gone in. None of it. It goes from these U.N. trucks to humanitarian organizations and the U.N. for delivery to the people of Gaza. That’s what we’ve seen with every single one of them,” he claimed.
Then he insisted that our “UN partners” were monitoring aid with “diligence”. What were the UN partners actually doing?
In mid October, UNRWA, the UN aid agency dedicated to the so-called ‘Palestinian’ settlers and staffed by Hamas, tweeted that it “received reports that yesterday a group of people with trucks purporting to be from the Ministry of Health of the de facto authorities in Gaza removed fuel and medical equipment from the agency’s compound in Gaza City.”
UNRWA then deleted the tweet accusing Hamas of stealing aid and pretended it never happened.
In late December, an UNRWA official claimed that, “there’s no hijacking of our (UNRWA) supplies by Hamas.” The official then argued that accusations that Hamas was taking aid were a “disinformation campaign” which was “aimed at the very agency trying to help people.”
The disinformation campaign apparently included UNRWA’s own Twitter account.
Earlier that same month, a Gazan woman had told Al Jazeera that, “all of it goes into their houses. They take it and will even shoot me or do whatever they want, Hamas.”
She must have also been part of the “disinformation campaign” against UNRWA.
Months after all the assurances from the Biden administration that the aid would not end up in the hands of Hamas, it routinely does and without a word of protest or any end to the aid trucks.
Where is our aid even going?
USAID, already facing an investigation by a government watchdog and Congress over Afghan aid going to terrorists, refused to “name the nongovernmental organizations it is working with to deliver the supplies, citing security concerns” in its response to USA Today.
Since Hamas knows which organizations are working in Gaza and distributing aid, whom are Samantha Power and USAID keeping the information from?
What does it say about Power and USAID that they’re more worried about USA Today readers finding out where the aid is going?
American aid workers are in contact with Hamas, one of them said anonymously, there “just can’t be anything political.” As if there’s a non-political way to work with an Islamic terror group.
A massive fortune in aid is being handed over to Hamas for distribution by nameless aid organizations that video evidence and eyewitness testimony shows is going to terrorists.
So much for Biden’s commitment “to ensuring that civilians in Gaza will continue to have access to food, water, medical care, and other assistance, without diversion by Hamas.”
And the $100 million in “humanitarian aid” promised by Biden is just the beginning of a larger program to “reconstruct” Gaza. Much as the program to reconstruct Afghanistan put a fortune in the pockets of the Taliban that enabled them to retake the country, programs to reconstruct Gaza after previous wars had allowed Hamas to build its vast network of tunnels and develop massive fortunes: some of which were then plowed into terror programs.
The Biden administration issued a press release “welcoming” the appointment of Sigrid Kaag, as the UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for aid to Gaza.
Kaag’s actual last name is Al-Qaq, she’s a former leftist Dutch politician who married Anis al-Qaq, a deputy minister in Arafat’s PLO government, and has been caught funding terrorists.
In 2019, Rina Shnerb was hiking with her family when a bomb went off.
“I wanted to believe it was just a dream,” Rabbi Shnerb, her father, said. “I have experienced several bombs in my life and been saved, thank God, but this one got us,..I immediately called to Rina, shouting ‘Rina, Rina,’ I looked down and saw that she was not alive.”
One of the terrorists who was accused of aiding the attack had taken pictures with Dutch officials while working as a director at a non-profit linked to terrorists and financed by the Dutch government. Despite multiple warnings, Kaag claimed she had been unaware of the connection.
Geert Wilders had condemned Kaag for having been “photographed with terrorist Arafat and financed Palestinian terrorists.”
The Shnerb family told JNS that, “Kaag was in a position to decide whether to fund homicidal terrorists who, like the Nazis, were trying to murder Jews simply for being Jews. Kaag ignored all the warning signs and insisted on funding the PFLP terrorists. Those terrorists then murdered Rina.”
Now, Kaag is in a position to do it all over again with the backing of the Biden administration.
Kaag had previously accused Israel’s government of being “racist” and denounced Jews living in parts of the country claimed by terrorists as “illegal colonists on confiscated land.”
After violating its commitment to stop Hamas from seizing aid, the Biden administration has approved of the appointment of an official who had funded the terrorists who killed Jews.
The Biden administration has focused all of its efforts on a plan to strengthen the Palestinian Authority and have it take over Gaza. It’s doing so even though elements of the PA actually took part in the Oct 7 massacres and Fatah, which is the ruling part of the PA, endorsed it. Fatah’s Secretary-General Jibril Rajoub declared that, “what happened on October 7 was in the context of the defensive war our people are waging. Hamas is part of our political and social fabric.”
Furthermore, the PA has reportedly begun paying salaries to arrested Oct 7 perpetrators.
It’s not a question of whether our aid to the terrorist areas goes to terrorists, but which terrorists.
The State Department recently announced that the “United States has provided more than $110 million in humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7.”
Kill over a thousand people and you get over $100 million in aid. That’s $100,000 per murder.
If we really want to stop terrorism, we should stop funding it.
Kola Adewumi says
I understand your position against the Islamic host. I am against them!!
However, when you become Trump’s Republican puppet, you lose integrity!!
It’s a shame!!
Trump has lied so many times it’s obvious
. –Trump has become a pathological liar. You don’t say a word about it, because you buy his lies!! The aid to Gaza goes also to Hamas! Stop the Trump propaganda!!
Biden is a great President!! He had accomplished a lot for the people. He has done a lot for Israel.
Love you God bless you.
Our Lord reigns. Jesus is Lord!!
somehistory says
All politicians lie at some point….many lie a lot. Fact is, the Apostle Paul says that “every man is found to be a liar.”
Besides that, can you name a few things that make biden a “great president”? And can you write the things that he has “accomplished”…”a lot for the people” and some of the “lot for Israel”?
I would like to be informed of these things that have made him “great” and to know what he has “accomplished.”
Thanks in advance.

Sheer nonsense. This author is obviously ignorant and simply repeating the standard Democrat party position. He is a clapping seal for the Dems. Trump is not the villain he portrays, he was a president who did a lot of good for America. Once Obama got in power through his puppet Joe, he started undoing all the good things, because the Dems want America to become a one party state modeled after the old East bloc states in Europe. Once they got their puppet Joe in the saddle, they could go at dismantling the American republic and replacing it with the one party far leftist dictatorship they always dreamed of.
PRCS says
They’re both pathalogical liars.
Trump for example: no, General Pershing did not tell his troops in the Phillipines to dip their bullets in pig’s blood prior to battles against Muslims there.
Joe Dementia: no his son Beau did NOT die in Iraq.
As an American I am disgusted that political manipulations have chosen these two individuals–out of 300+ million citizens–for us.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Biden has done a lot for Israel? What exactly are you smoking? He enabled Iran, which had been on a leash during Trump, but was unleashed during both Obama & Biden. That alone should tell you a story
Trump is the only person w/ integrity. Everyone else, even if otherwise virtuous, has had to bend in order to avoid going bankrupt. Establishment Republicans are pretty corrupt, and don’t even get me started about the Dems
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
May I add that Hamas would have NEVER invaded Israel under Pres. Trump.
The recent fraudulent (s)elections have had severe consequences – both in the United States and worldwide.
gravenimage says
The idea that it is possible to send aid to Gaza and have it remain untouched by Hamas makes no sense. How is this supposed to do a lot for Israel, exactly?

There is no depth to which evil people will not go in order to commit more evil.
Common sense says that the terrorists would take every tiny bit of the aid for themselves. They committed horrific atrocities upon innocent babies, children, young people and elderly. They have no conscience and put their own children at risk of death while remaining in hiding….and biden, blinken, kirby, etc.. “trust” them to leave the aid alone.
And biden says he needs more money to secure the Southern border….while funding terror at home and abroad.
tim gallagher says
Yes, somehistory, how naive and how gullible would you have to be to believe that those murderous scum of the earth from hamas would not find a way to take all the aid that goes to people in Gaza. As you say, hamas is made up of scum who have no conscience, no humanity at all and they would take every bit of the aid to use for their evil purposes.
somehistory says
Thank you, Tim. Stealing and lying about it are small potatoes to those who rape, torture and murder as hamas did and will do again.
tim gallagher says
No doubt about that, somehistory. Those thugs and scum of the earth from hamas are bound to steal all the aid. Even without hamas running the show in Gaza, I wouldn’t trust the Muslim Palestinians in any way whatsoever. All I can say is, Go Israel and make sure Gaza becomes a safer border area for the civilised non-Muslims in Israel.
PRCS says
“biden says he needs more money to secure the Southern border”
He’s really wants more money to make catch and release processing of illegal aliens into our country.
Ray Jarman says
It seems that the Biden admin is emulating the three monkeys that see no evil (Biden), hear no evil (Blinken) and speak no evil (Austin – hard to speak under medication which may be a good thing). As the IDF attempts to eliminate Hamas, Biden continues to aid in the purchase of arms with the assistance of UNRWA for the enemy.
One way to end the situation would be to impeach both Biden and Harris which would have House Speaker Johnson installed as president. I know it will not and cannot happen with the makeup of the House & Senate but I can dream.
FYI says
Caller Hello Mr president a question about the promised Gaza aid…
Biden Oh he’s not in..hey are you Joe Biden?Have you seen him?
Caller What?
Biden A question about the promised Gaza aid
Caller Hullo
Biden oh you must be the other Joe Biden the guy with the alzheimers.sorry i rang the wrong number
Caller But.. i rang you..
James Lincoln says
Biden lied?
It just can’t be!
Jim says
Everybody knows that Joe is a liar. He always was and always will be. The Dems do not care, because they think that it is perfectly ok to take advantage of any advantage they have. They can disavow their position when they are out of power, and switch back when they get power again. It is inconsistent, but that is not wrong in their moral vision. Of course Hamas would get the aid. It does not hurt Joe if they do, it hurts the Israelis and any innocent Gazans.
WPM says
Joe Biden cannot remember what he had for breakfast. He is a puppet that says and does what he is told ,with his family dirty dealing in Eastern Europe in the Middle East and China they own his ass. They tell him to jump his only question is how high.
Pray Hard says
Biden is a sociopath. He is incapable of telling the truth.
James Lincoln says
Prediction:
Sleepy Joe Biden will never be prosecuted for his crimes.
If charges are ever brought up against him, he will be found to be “mentally incompetent” to stand trial.
But NOT too impaired to continue his fraudulent regime.
