They have a right to do what they need to do

As opposed to the vegetable in chief, whom his staff didn’t even wake up to tell him something awful was going down in Israel he might want to know about.

Especially considering POTATUS and that same staff financed most of it.

…Right now, though, many on the left seem upset that conservatives are pointing out that the last two Democratic administrations have appeased and funded the terror states responsible for the attack that has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Israelis and at least four nine Americans.

There is, most obviously, Joe Biden’s recent $6 billion gift to the mullahs.

“Not a single cent from these funds has been spent, and when it is spent, it can only be spent on things like food and medicine for the Iranian people,” a White House National Security Council spokeswoman said. This pathetic and pedantic deflection was repeated endlessly by the president’s defenders. Even a child understands the concept of fungibility. It is true that Hamas didn’t spend that exact funding on their terror proxies. Islamic fascists, like everyone else, make fiscal plans with an eye on future earnings and spending. And the hostage-taking business happens to be booming.

And no, the $6 billion was not “their money” — no more than the roughly $25 billion that the Biden administration let Iran walk away with by ignoring sanctions or the $10 billion it gave Iran via a waiver to Iraq was their money. Sanctions separated the terror state from its money. That’s the entire point.

…Incidentally, do you know where Hamas leadership was hanging out when their squads began kidnapping young children, shooting the elderly, and raping and massacring women? In a hotel room in Qatar, where they were guests of the regime. Do you know who lifted Qatar to be a strategic partner of the United States last year? Clue: It was the same administration that rejoined the antisemitic UN Human Rights Council, which will be chaired by Ali Bahreini, ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

…Let’s also remember that in 2021, one of Biden’s first foreign policy moves was to overturn Trump-era policy and release hundreds of millions of dollars of funding to both Fatah and Hamas. That wasn’t all. In 2022, Biden sent an additional $316 million to the Palestinians. “Moderate” Fatah, which offers stipends to the families of Jew killers, was recently in talks to form a unity government with Hamas. These are the people Israelis are expected to hand a state.

At the time of the first payment, Secretary of State Antony Blinken regurgitated mind-numbing Brookings Institute platitudes about the money offering “critical relief” and fostering “economic development, and supports Israeli-Palestinian understanding, security coordination and stability.

How about them apples. No wonder Blinken and his juvenile dupes at State were so quick to call for Israel to chill out even as the Hamas horror attacks continued, Israeli blood still flowed afresh and screaming women and children were carted into the terrorist abyss like so many captives in a grainy old movie.

I mean, Blinken HIMSELF basically says, “Yeah, well. One can never be SURE…”

The first “cool your jets, Israel” shot was from Blinken’s guys on the ground in country as events were unfolding, and quickly deleted.

The second was last night from the SecState himself, as POTATUS held a BBQ, the Israeli body count skyrocketed, and Hamas rockets poured into Israeli cities. ISRAEL, according to Blinken, needed to chill TF out.

And just as quickly deleted.

You can see where this is going. You know where it SHOULD go – the utter and complete annihilation of every last Stone Age Hamas operative in Gaza, even if they have to take the place down to the sand it’s built on. Israel has had to deal with this long enough, and been constantly restrained by both the international community’s internal squeamishness and duplicity about dealing with the terrorists who perpetrate these atrocities, and what it actually takes to pound them out of existence.

I just watched an interview with Ron DeSantis. He was unequivocable in stating precisely what Israel needs to do, that they have every right to do it, and laid out how they have restrained themselves – and been restrained – time and again in the past. DeSantis also points out exactly what we see happening already – the moral equivalencies that will be used to undercut the Israelis’ right to defend themselves.

Excerpt:

Greta: …When the United States says it ‘supports Israel,’ what exactly does that mean? How do we support them besides saying we think that’s it’s horrible what happened?

RDS: Well, the first thing is to be very clear that not only do they have a right to defend themselves, but they have a right to use overwhelming force. Part of the reason we’re in this situation is because, in past iterations of these attacks which, admittedly, we’re not at this level, Israel would respond, but then there would immediately be a lot of pressure for Israel to stand down. Israel would even start getting blamed. And so they never really uprooted the terror networks of Hamas and even Hezbollah like they probably should’ve. So this is a time where this is their 9/11 – probably times four or five from what we’re seeing with the horrific images and the casualty count for such a small country. It’s an unbelievable terrorist attack that I think they need to uproot all those terrorist networks.

Now there’s gonna start to be moral equivalence put out there. There’s gonna start to be condemnations from the United Nations. I’m not saying it’s going to happen tomorrow, but I can definitely see in the not-too-distant future that. So we just need to be united as Americans that they have a right to do what they need to do…

There’s 9 minutes, but you get the drift. My governor’s on the money, but he gave some people too much credit for a tiny shred of feral intelligence.

The UN’s made their move already – Hamas rockets still in the air as they screech at Israel.

I saw it all begin progressing on X yesterday and it is so revoltingly predictable. After two days of carnage and horror at the hands of Palestinian barbarians, the Israelis dropped a bomb into a mosque dome.

Did you know the Hamas terrorists who’ve left almost – so far – a bloody swath of over 1000 corpses with thousands more wounded across Israel were instructed to be polite around synagogues and churches?

LOOK WHAT ISRAEL DID! HAVE THEY NO DECENCY?!

Because mosques are so holy to Hamas – they mustn’t be be defiled by secular things.

The same Israelis who also drop a small munition on the top floor of a targeted building in a notice to occupants that it is going to be destroyed shortly, so GET OUT NOW. The terrorists swarming Israel on a Jewish holiday weren’t quite as polite as their publicity arm would have you believe.

“Enough bloodshed already! STOP, ISRAEL!

The moral equivalency brigade DeSantis talks about has already been working overtime.

We know who the REAL victims are, don’t we? We’ve seen the movie enough times.

Poor Gazans. No Iron Dome. Why for mean Israelis whomp on them?” cry Squad members.

I’ll give you the “morality” you will NEVER understand, you vile creature.

No more gaslighting this time.

NO. MORE.

Has anyone considered how many Hamas/Hezbollah/Iranian-backed sleeper cells have wandered across our wide-open border thanks to Blinken and President Nod-Off? And that’s by design?

Biden and his malevolent clowns have undercut our right to defend ourselves even at our very border, less mind across the globe. Left us weakened and flailing in the face of the unspeakable evil rising in the world, and still look to rein in and destroy the few friends we have left willing to boldly fight their own battles against it.

The Israelis are at war and one they did not start.

They have every right to turn loose on the barbarians and annihilate them with extreme prejudice.

God protect us all from the barbarian sympathizers running this country.
