Israel frustrated U.S. paused weapons shipment over Rafah assault concerns, official says
An Israeli official told NBC News there is deep frustration in the government over the decision, which comes as the U.S. presses for a deal to head off a large-scale assault on the Gaza city where more than 1 million Palestinians are sheltering.
Fuck your genocide.
Israel felt the U.S. allowed it to be blindsided by Hamas’ announcement this week that it was accepting a version of a cease-fire proposal.
Oh, you didn't have a chance to move the goalposts? Cry harder.
"So what we weren't paying attention? You're supposed to run interference for us so we don't have to!"
Exactly. You know who else felt blindsided?
Israel’s own proposal from a few months ago. Completely blindsided!
Despite the pause, the Israeli military has enough weapons supplied by the U.S. and other partners to conduct the Rafah operation if it chooses to cast aside U.S. objections, the first official said.
He added that none of the pauses apply to the billions of dollars in additional israel aid passed by Congress last month. With regards to that, the Biden administration just approved $827 million worth of weapons and equipment for Israel in the latest tranche of Foreign Military Financing, the official said.
Take it with a grain of salt.
Lol get fucked
Good. Be frustrated!
Maybe resolve that frustration by stopping the invasion of Gaza.
Oh look, the thing we said Biden should've done from day one is effective. I'm sure all the 'serious' people that said you can't just condition aid to Israel will apologise for being wrong and allowing for the murder of 20000 children.
Hey, I was one of those people, and I paid attention to polls. Israel has squandered a lot of good will, but Biden has to be very, very careful here because there's still a lot of zionist democrats.
And he is being careful.
But as Israel does more genocidal things, they'll lose more support, and Biden will be able to ramp up the pressure on them.
All we've been saying, this whole time, is that Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected. Not what's righteous. What's practical.
I think you mean Zionist Republicans.
22% of Democrats and 58% of Republicans do not believe Israel is committing genocide.

Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected.
Up to and including supplying weapons and funding for a genocide? This position is morally reprehensible. I'm sympathetic to the argument that people should still vote for Biden for harm reduction, but suggesting Biden's support for Israel's genocide is justified because it helps him get elected is way over the line.
Biden has to be very, very careful here because there’s still a lot of zionist democrats.... All we’ve been saying, this whole time, is that Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected. Not what’s righteous. What’s practical.
Your post gives me "evil Jews and Zionists run the world" vibes. Does he really have to bow to Zionists to win an election or else?
And all it took was a few dozen-thousand murders.
A Holocaustito, if you will.
I suppose in Dutch, it would be "een holocaustje".
We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently… But it’s, it’s just wrong. We’re not going to – we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells
If Joe “I’m a Zionist” Biden is dropping public statements like that whist icing out aid, there’s so, SO much more that isn’t being said. Like that report Blinken was meant to release today, but got delayed…
That's... the point.
Oh no!
Anyway.
Good, die mad.
Crocodile tears 😂
Just think of those poor unspent rounds.
Supposedly they still have several months worth of munitions. Which should be more than sufficient if this is (as they claim it is) the final push. The fact that they're upset at even a delay in the weapons shows where their real intentions lie.
Hey, they bribed those representatives fair and square.
Roll up, roll up, everyone take your turn to jeer derisively
Womp fucking womp
Where's FlyingSquid with the trombone pic?

The Deep State is not happy.
Is this hasbara?
