Do you still think the Biden regime is on the side of Israel?
“Israel aghast as US said poised to sanction IDF unit with history of abuses,” Times of Israel, April 21, 2024:
The Biden administration is slated to announce sanctions against the IDF’s Netzah Yehuda battalion for alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank, the Axios news site reported on Saturday. It would be the first time the US has ever taken such a step.
The battalion has been at the center of several controversies in the past connected to right-wing extremism and violence against Palestinians, notably including the 2022 death of Omar As’ad, a 78-year-old Palestinian-American who died after being detained, handcuffed, blindfolded, and later abandoned in near-freezing conditions by soldiers of the battalion.
Israel moved the unit out of the West Bank in December 2022 — though it denied it did so due to soldiers’ behavior — and it has since served mostly in the country’s north. It has also been deployed to the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing war against Hamas.
The reported US plan drew a scathing response from Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The IDF must not be sanctioned!” he wrote on X. “I’ve been working in recent weeks against the sanctioning of Israeli citizens, including in my conversations with the American administration.
“At a time when our soldiers are fighting terrorist monsters, the intention to issue sanctions against a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low,” he added, committing to fight the move.
Centrist war cabinet minister Benny Gantz joined the criticism, saying the infantry unit was “an integral part of the IDF” and was bound by military and international law. He added that Israel has “strong and independent” courts capable of dealing with alleged violations.
“We have great respect for our American friends, but imposing sanctions on the unit is a dangerous precedent and sends the wrong message to our shared enemies at a time of war,” Gantz said, while pledging to “take action so this decision does not pass.”…

For the BIDENS it is all about the MONEY. When you send money to Iran you are dealing with a bunch of gangsters and crooked leaders who would think nothing of kicking back 10% to the BIG GUY for the 90% of our Dollars they get for NOTHING.
Giving OUR tax dollars or materials to IRAN or another foreign leader or government should be illegal unless approved by Congress. And should only be allowed if America has an excess of TAX DOLLARS in the Treasury. It is totally ridiculous for our government to be 30 +TRILLIONS of dollars in debt and be borrowing billions to give to other countries. STOP the theft of our tax money and the ever growing debt.

I believe the US is still funding the PA in violation of the Taylor Force Act.
And the PA has admitted to war crimes when they defend paying terrorists and their families.
They call the terrorists “soldiers”.
But these soldiers commit 3 war crimes (at least)
1: They are not in uniform
2: They attack civilian targets with no military value
3: Some are children
All PA officials should be sanctioned and subject to arrest.

That fiendish villain Joe Biden, had ,indeed, totally abandoned Israel , likewise he betrayed her. Biden even has the diabolical gall to attempt to impose sanctions on the Israel Defense force all the while he’s providing that aggressive Israel and America hating hostile Islamic regime of Iran, which supports Hamas, with billions of dollars and then he wants to send Iran even more money Before this betrayal of the State of Israel and the United States ,Biden allowed that Islamic tyranny that to obtain billons of dollars . How terribly wicked of Biden .For that belligerent ”mullah regime” of Iran calls Israel “The little Satan and the US “The great Satan.”
We may be sure that either in a direct way or an indirect way will use that money to advance its nuclear weapons program and further its stooge terror/murder jihad organizations which are Hamas, Hezbollah , Islamic Jihad.
Some Westerners might find in a bit interesting that Ayatollah Khamenei as well as the other ayatollahs and mullahs who have so much terrible power in Iran , don’t ever engage in any shootings and bombings , they just have their useful idiots who are the Muslim terrorists those three horrendous jihad entities to the dirty work of murdering of people for them as their tools.
Some of that vast amount of money Biden those in power in Iran to obtain will , without doubt , also be given in support to further found Hamas and also Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.
Truly, Joe Biden is a treacherous scoundrel.
