President Biden just completed a whirlwind tour in Israel, meeting PM Netanyahu and his war cabinet – as did U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. According to crack reporter Carolyn Glick, at this meeting the Israelis were told directly that military aid to Israel would be lessened or withheld unless Israel allowed Gaza and Hamas to be supplied with humanitarian aid – but with no preconditions. The 200+ Israeli hostages (including babies, children, rape victims and soldiers) were to be left as prisoners in Hamas’ jails and torture chambers. It is well understood in Israel and in the U.S.A. that Hamas controls all incoming humanitarian aid, syphoning off the cream of that aid for its leadership and fighters. Cement and iron piping will be used to rebuild tunnels and rockets – and not houses, hospitals and schools. Biden’s heavy-handed demands reveal America’s strategic goal to prolong enemy rule over Gaza. In President Biden’s recent interview on ‘60 Minutes,’ he stated clearly: “I think it’d be a big mistake . . . It would be a mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza again.” America’s group of choice to lead Gaza is none other than the PLO/Palestinian Authority, a terror group at its birth and still involved in such activities.

Israel turned barren country into a useful, productive state.
Gaza is nothing but trouble.
What does the world want more of?
A productive state or trouble?
It is NOT the US agenda. It is the Obama/Biden agenda.
Israel should say they will go it alone until November 2024 when the “correction” takes place. Then ALL will be revealed.
God said no and Abe said, what?
(Johnny Winter covered it beautifully)
Avner’s a bit older than I am, and a musician, so I really enjoy his incorporation of lyrical content from “back in the day.” It’s not all the time in every article he writes, but it’s frequent, and he always makes it relevant to the subject at-hand.
Trouble, duh.
Don’t know the musical reference but would appreciate the name of the song please.
Netanyahu is getting really nervous about the billions in foreign aid Biden promised, so he is sending out his factotums to rile the waters.
One acolyte, “policy expert,” Caroline Glick, came out swinging, whining that Biden went to Israel
<><>to “blackmail” Israel into “resupplying” Hamas in Gaza,
<><>threatening to withholding military supplies needed by Israel.
The facts are these:
<><>Biden told Netanyahu he would offer support and he expected Israel to prioritize protection of civilians and humanitarian concerns.
<><>Biden “formally announced” the “already-arranged deal” to allow humanitarian assistance to move into Gaza from Egypt, and $100 million in new aid for those in need among Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.......which was hammered out “WITH Israel in Washington” BEFORE Biden left.
<><>Biden also told Netanyahu that he would go to the Congress with a military support package for Israel of “unprecedented size.” (source yahoo.com)
snip
Backstory: Since 1973, Israel has received more than $120 billion US tax
dollars in military assistance, including “three special aid” packages.
<><>billions for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<><>billions for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai.
<><>billions for redeployment of Israeli forces
<><>rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev cost $5 billion.

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.
From some other Bob Dylan songs of prophecy....
From:
It’s A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Fall
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
/////////////////////////////////
From Chimes of Freedom
Tolling for the deaf an’ blind, tolling for the mute
Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an’ cheated by pursuit
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
....
An’ for each an’ ev’ry underdog soldier in the night
we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
TROUBLEMAKERS HATE SUCCESS BY OTHERS
SAME FOR TRUMP
My favorite Bob Dylan song!
Highway 61 by Bob Dylan.
Much obliged.
Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to
(prehistoric rap)
I’m carryin’ for good luck my black tooth
Don’t ask me nothin’ about nothin’
I just might tell you the truth
Prophecy? How about this from 60 years ago?
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I’ll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand over your grave
‘Til I’m sure that you’re dead
This is what we’ve sunk to. We’ve fallen so low as a country that an American
candidate is only electable by whatever he says (and doe$) about a foreign country.
A demented Biden’s reelection chance were nil, according to the laws of diminishing returns...........
until the attack on Israel fell in his lap. Now he’s suddenly morphed into a “strong, decisive “leader.”
America’s president is harassing Congress.....not to finance America’s needs.....
Biden wants $100 billion for Israel and Ukraine.
What?
Biden’s spending billions we do not have, then saddles taxpayers with onerous borrowing costs. Taxpayers’ children and grandchildren are compelled to pay the outrageous bills.
<><>Why does the US have to go in debt for these pampered foreigners?
<><>Why cant they stand on their own two feet?
<><>Why cant wealthy Israel and money-grubbing Ukraine do the borrowing for their own needs?
