President Biden is fully wrapping his arms around Israel.
Literally.
President Biden got off Air Force One during his high-stakes trip to the Middle East Wednesday and greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a big hug.
The message was clear — the United States stands with Israel. Biden took that message to the American people Thursday night in an Oval Office address, but also tried to balance that with empathy for Palestinians.
"In Israel, I saw people who are strong, determined, resilient and also angry, in shock and in deep, deep pain," Biden said. But he noted that Palestinians also have the "right to dignity and to self-determination."

Biden is giving aid money to Palestinians in Gaza, much of the money is going to end up in Terrorist hands. Hamas tore up a water system to get the pipes so they could build rockets. Hamas started the civil war in Lebanon destroying one of the most beautiful cities in the Mid East, Beirut. Lebanon was the only Christian majority country in the Mid East. Hamas tried to overthrow the Government of Jordan. Hamas smuggling was so egregious between Egypt and Gaza that Egypt flooded tunnels and built a wall with a concrete foundation twenty feet deep. There is a reason Palestinians are not welcome in other countries. Biden should with hold any aid to Palestinians until Americans and other foreign nationals held by Hamas are released.

My other problem with the $100 Billion in aid for Israel Biden is asking for is when is Biden going to worry about our border with Mexico ? I did a little quick research and found that Hezbollah, an organization backed by Iran is also an international criminal organization. Hezbollah has organizations in Africa, Central America, South America and Mexico. Hezbollah has ties to drug cartels that control our Southern border. It is ridiculous to think we haven’t let terrorists cells into the US.

It's 100 million in aid to Gaza. Not billion. Million.
"Let" terrorist cells in? Lol ok. Also weird that you think a President doesn't get briefings on multiple things at the same time.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff You are correct. Biden does want $100 B8llion for Israel and Ukraine. Seems he cares more about their border than ours. Why are we giving Palestinians any money when they are holding Americans hostage? Biden may get briefings but he is senile. Biden has trouble reading a teleprompter.
