Trump killed funding for Palestinian-"relief" organizations; Biden reinstated it

It is impossible to overstate just how destructive Joe Biden’s foreign policy decisions have been, and how immeasurably worse they have made the world.

There are too many examples to cite, but given recent events let’s look at just a couple of decisions he made that empowered Iran and Hamas to commit the atrocities this weekend in Israel.

During his administration, Trump shut down the negotiations with Iran and imposed enormous pressure on the country. He turned the screws, making Iran’s life extremely difficult.

Joe Biden reversed that policy, going back to the old Obama-era policy of trying to cozy up to one of the worst and most destabilizing regimes in the world. And, just like Obama, he started funneling cash to and relieving the pressure of sanctions on the country, increasing Iran’s ability to cause trouble in the region.

Smart move, that. Iran helped plan the attacks and train the terrorists who went on a rape and murder spree in Israel.

Trump also shut down US money that flowed to the Palestinians, decisively siding with Israel and brokered a deal that normalized relations between Israel and much of the Arab world. He helped isolate the Palestinians, who have been a thorn in the side of Israel but of all non-Iran aligned Middle Eastern countries.

The Palestinian leadership is corrupt, violent, extreme, and dedicated to the eradication of Israel and all that implies. The rest of the region just wants to get peace and increase prosperity. They are tired of the drama and know that the Palestinians will never make a deal that could stick. So screw ’em.

There is a famous quote from Obama -- "Never underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up."

That is often perceived as a cautionary note, expressing the feeling that Joe might not make a good president.

But I prefer to see it as a ringing endorsement from Obama that Joe was precisely the guy who could really finish the job in style.

So, I am reading some stuff that equates Joe Biden’s policies with the policies of the U.S American public. Please don’t. They are generally not the same.

Think it’s bad now? Get back to me in 5 more years after they fix 2024 and “reeelect him” which I fully expect to happen being that the RINO party refuses to do ANYTHING about election integrity. The RINO party couldn’t get on its knees fast enough to the DemoMarxists after 2020 was stolen

The Washington Times hit it right on the head: "Biden has been wrong on every major foreign policy decision in last 4 decades"

Biden has a streak going and he 's not likely to break it, but c'mon man, life is tough when you're a blithering lib idiot with chunks of your brain missing.

Free, no doubt, from any auditing of how the funds are actually spent.

To your point, I don’t believe that Joe does anything without direction from Obama. Obama and his puppet masters knew full well the “fundamental transformation of America” was going to have some very uncomfortable and unpopular transitions, and what better way to get through it than have someone you loathe be the face of it for the time and take the heat.

Here is a blast from the past. Following a 2014 Hamas attack on Israel (that nobody remembers) the nations ponied up $5.4 billion to rebuild GAZA.

The GAZA business model is to attack Israel every so many years so that the bleeding hearts send them money to rebuild.

Hopefully, no mas this time around.

U.S. And Other Nations Pledge $5.4 Billion To Rebuild Gaza
October 12, 2014

https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2014/10/12/kerry-gaza_custom-3b6054ceec52c2dc2df47212f3633ace8afc5ad4-s1100-c50.jpg

At a Cairo aid conference to help rebuild Gaza, Secretary of State John Kerry paused to rub his eyes Sunday. The U.S. is promising another $212 million in aid.

A one-day conference in Cairo has brought pledges of some $5.4 billion to help rebuild Gaza, the Palestinian territory whose infrastructure was crippled in 50 days of fighting between Hamas and Israel. The figure far surpasses an estimate from Palestinians who said the rebuilding project would cost $4 billion. U.S. officials had expressed doubt the meeting would yield that figure.

Envoys from dozens of donor nations gathered in Egypt Sunday to discuss Gaza’s future. But the group did not include Israel — as the newspaper Haaretz reports, “Egyptian officials had feared that many Arab states, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, would cancel if they knew an Israeli would attend.”

We’ve updated the top of this post to reflect the results of the meeting, after Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende said in his closing statement that the session had brought promises of $5.4 billion for Gaza’s reconstruction effort.

Qatar was the biggest contributor, pledging $1 billion; both Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates promised $200 million, as did Turkey. Other large donors included the European Union, with $568 million. The U.S. promised $212 million, bringing its total aid to Palestinians this year to $400 million.

Your comment is an excellent summary of how Obama uses Biden as his puppet.

Biden restored 700 million to Jihadist-linked U.N. Palestinian agency.

There are too many examples to cite indeed.

As best I can tell, the 6 billion is in a Qatar bank, but this and a bunch of other money isn’t.

It is likely going to be a rough 17 months ahead as groups consolidate their gains before Biden/Harris can be replaced.

What a combination. I'd add most depraved because (1) even his VP has publicly acknowledged that he raped a woman and (2) hair sniffing pedo-creep and (3) even his dogs all go crazy after a few months with this monster.

Traitorjoe and his puppet masters again give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
