After promising that Hamas wouldn't get the aid and denying that Hamas was taking the aid.
When the Biden administration pressured Israel to open up more aid to the Hamas territories, it swore that the aid would not fall into the hands of Hamas.
“If Hamas in any way blocks humanitarian assistance from reaching civilians, including by seizing the aid itself, we’ll be the first to condemn it. And we will work to prevent it from happening again,” Secretary of State Blinken pledged.
Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer assured CNN that “the president was quite clear that if this assistance goes in, it cannot be misappropriated, it cannot be taken by Hamas fighters and so we are going to be watching that very closely.”
On Halloween, John Kirby, Biden’s national security spokesman, denied anything was going on.
“We have seen no indication, none, that Hamas has gotten their hands on any of the humanitarian assistance that has gone in. None of it. It goes from these U.N. trucks to humanitarian organizations and the U.N. for delivery to the people of Gaza. That’s what we’ve seen with every single one of them,” he claimed.
In late December, an UNRWA official claimed that, “there’s no hijacking of our (UNRWA) supplies by Hamas.” The official then argued that accusations that Hamas was taking aid were a “disinformation campaign” which was “aimed at the very agency trying to help people.”
These kinds of lies go through three stages.
1. It will never happen
2. It’s happening and it’s a good thing
3. How dare you prevent it from happening
There are numberless examples in the political arena, but we’ve now reached stage 3 in the Hamas aid lie.
The Biden administration asked Israel to stop targeting members of the Hamas-run civilian police force who escort aid trucks in Gaza, warning that a “total breakdown of law and order” is significantly exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the enclave, three U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.
U.S. officials say they are increasingly concerned “that Gaza is turning into Mogadishu” as a security vacuum and desperation have opened the door for armed gangs to attack and loot aid trucks, putting even more pressure on the Strip’s already strained humanitarian system.
Armed gangs? A Total breakdown of law and order? Who exactly do U.S. officials think Hamas is?
Months after the administration lied to our faces and told us over and over again that Hamas would never get the aid, that they won’t put up with it if they do, they redefine Hamas terrorists as members of the local police who are just providing an “escort” for aid trucks and killing them will lead to a “total breakdown of law and order”.
The alternative to a “total breakdown of law and order” is Hamas.
Here’s footage, by the way, of Hamas terrorists providing an escort for aid trucks.
Gazan web users: Hamas "borrows" aid trucks and takes them underground...
Hamas, much like the Houthis and the Taliban, appropriate aid, resell it and deliberately cause famines in order to profit from them, politically and financially.
We know how it works. We’ve seen it done in country after country.
There’s a larger significance to this messaging. The Biden administration is pivoting to protect Hamas. They’re redefining elements of Hamas as the thin line between anarchy. The “Mogadishu” talking point has been crafted and gone out.
Biden administration officials raised their concerns with their Israeli counterparts and asked that Israel stop targeting the Hamas civilian police as long there is no alternative that could provide security to the aid trucks, Israeli and U.S. officials said.
But Israel rebuffed the request because one of its goals in the war is to ensure that Hamas no longer runs Gaza, two Israeli officials said.
Go figure.
Our tax dollars and UN funding is supporting HAMAS.
Daniel Greenfield ping
NOT the Bee!
BTTT
only Donald Trump can stop the UN. everyone else is compromised.
Biden’s warnings are toothless and should be ignored.
Democrats helping the terrorists again.
No dont bother interfering
Just shoot them...
Another headline that requires a quick glance to make sure it isn’t the Babylon Bee.
First it was don’t interfere with lawlessness here, let them riot, let them burn it down...heck...here is a go fund me account to bail them out...
Now they’re telling the world to let lawlessness reign.
I know in the end of days these things come to pass, but even the Bible says...the end is not yet near.
I do not like this darkness that is descending upon the world. And yet, it will come. We are told it will arrive and we will be persecuted during this time that is unfolding.
FJB, and FUBO. These 2 traitors, and the cabal of traitors working for them, are completely in bed with the Arab/Moslem terrorists - not just the Hamas animals, but the Iranian animals that have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of dead innocents over the past 4 decades (thanks a $hitload, Jimmy Carter).
I despise ALL of these people more than I can describe here.
Very similar to Biden’s videotaped comments about Ukraine’s prosecution of Hunter — basically: call off your law enforcement efforts, or I withhold billions of dollars. And son of a gun, they did what I wanted.
“And we will work to prevent it from happening again,” says Blinken, that really tough guy that scares Hamas.
THE UNRWA is lying thru their teeth.
You were expecting something different from their
State Dept. under President BUMBLEFUCK!!!
The UNRWA is actively supporting HAMAS.
