Admission that Biden administration paused bomb transfers to Israel sparks outrage among Israel backers in Congress

THOUSANDS OF BOMBS ON HOLD: The reports first appeared over the weekend, when Axios quoted Israeli officials as saying that the United States had put on hold a shipment of ammunition to Israel. The Biden administration refused to confirm or deny the report for two days, while members of Congress grew increasingly frustrated.

“You and your administration have repeatedly abandoned Israel. Should you have unilaterally decided to divert aid to our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, then you should come forward and defend this decision,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said in a letter he fired off to President Joe Biden on Monday. “This recent diversion is just another example of your failure to support our allies and carry out your duties in fear of the repercussions from the pro-terrorist, pro-Hamas faction of your party.”

“We are shocked that your administration has reportedly decided to withhold critical ammunition to Israel,” wrote Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Ted Budd (R-NC) in a separate letter Tuesday. “You promised your commitment to Israel was ironclad. Pausing much-needed military support to our closest Middle Eastern ally signals otherwise. We are deeply concerned that your administration failed to notify Congress about this decision.”

On Fox News last night, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called for the White House to come clean. “This is the worst possible signal to send to all the bad guys that America would be withholding weapons and ammunition to the Jewish state who’s under siege on multiple fronts,” Graham told host Jesse Watters. “That is just inciting more violence. Saudi Arabia, if you’re thinking about doing a defense agreement with the Biden administration, you need to think long and hard if, in fact, Biden’s withholding weapons.”

“President Biden’s decision to pause arms sales to Israel is unconscionable,” Rep. Mark Green (R-TN)

The Party Of ‘Death To America’! “The Democrat Party is built on hate!”

Mark Levin, author, talk show host and chairman of Landmark Legal Foundation, wrote a book last year about the party’s war on this nation’s values and foundations. Levin said it was important for him to write “The Democrat Party Hates America” because “the 800-pound gorilla that is responsible for virtually every single cultural, political, societal confrontation that we have is the Democrat Party.”

Why is this the case? “Because,” he says, “the Democrat Party is built on hate!”

The evidence is in schools that teach students that the U.S. is a murderous, racist nation built on stolen land and slave labor; in the media and entertainment realms, where “news” and show business productions are intended to turn Americans against the Western ideals of liberty and civil society; and of course in the politics of the Democratic “squad” that is made up of lawmakers hostile to the country yet has been allowed, in some cases encouraged, to aggregate more power in the party.

Even Elon Musk, who in the past voted “overwhelmingly” for Democrats, recognizes that they “have become the party of division and hate.”

What they want is a new America that is nothing like the country the founders gave us and would more closely resemble an authoritarian state ruled by, yes, the Neo-Nazi Left.

The Campus Kill-The-Jews Riots: Paid Professional Agitators Funded By Democratic Party Big Wigs, Or Well-Meaning Kids? Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 7 May, 2024 | Francis Menton
Posted on 5/8/2024, 5:39:52 AM by MtnClimber

Several days ago, after the New York police broke up the kill-the-Jews occupations at Columbia, NYU and other universities, it emerged that close to half of the arrestees were not students or otherwise affiliated with the schools in question. At a news conference on April 30, Mayor Eric Adams adopted the term “professional outside agitators” to describe the main organizers of the protests (“What should have been a peaceful protest, it has basically been co-opted by professional outside agitators.”).
