By Near the end of 2019, Washington was abuzz with rumors. The president withholding aid to an ally was all that Democrats and their allies in the media could talk about. Critics of Trump claimed he abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden while withholding congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine. The House of Representatives impeached Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Fast forward four years and those critics are now silent as Joe Biden reminds the American public that there are two sets of rules: one for Democrats and one for everyone else.
Israeli officials reported that the Biden administration halted a recent shipment of U.S.-manufactured ammunition bound for Israel last week. This marks a significant departure from previous practices, as it represents the first instance since the October 7 attack that the United States has interceded to block a weapons delivery intended for the Israeli military, writes Axios.
The Biden administration is highly concerned Israel will invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah where more than one million displaced Palestinians have been taking shelter.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released several statements in recents days saying he intended to order an invasion of Rafah regardless of whether Israel and Hamas reach a deal for the release of hostages being held in Gaza and a ceasefire.
Netanyahu hinted at tensions with the Biden administration in a statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day issued Sunday.
“In the terrible Holocaust, there were great world leaders who stood by idly; therefore, the first lesson of the Holocaust is: If we do not defend ourselves, nobody will defend us. And if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone,” he said.
Last Wednesday U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel and had a “tough” conversation with Netanyahu regarding a possible Israeli operation in Rafah, two sources briefed on the meeting said. Blinken told Netanyahu during their meeting that “a major military operation” in Rafah would lead to the U.S. publicly opposing it and would negatively impact U.S.-Israel relations.
We’ve long realized that Biden has sympathy for terrorist supporters, who have infiltrated his administration, but the move also signals once again that Joe Biden is likely not entirely in control of his own White House. He’s become beholden to his deranged leftwing base as his poll numbers crash.
Here’s who is apparently controlling American foreign policy as it relates to America’s closest ally in the Middle East:
“North Korea is a great ally for Palestine”
Student holding a “teach-in” at New York University, telling other students North Korea is great while America is evil
We’ve said it since day 1. Communists run the anti-Israel protests

Across the country on liberal campuses, the American flag is being replaced with the Palestinian one.

The change in policy towards Israel comes as the campus left that has taken over universities all over the country has upped its antisemitism.
From the @ColumbiaLaw chapter of the @NLGnews:
"To the Jewish students, faculty, and trustees blocking divestment and urging the violent crackdowns on campus: you threaten everyone’s safety."

Israel’s leadership has pledged to destroy Hamas. Fox News noted that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to carry out a military operation in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where some 1.5 million Palestinians have taken shelter, and where Hamas maintains its last remaining stronghold.
The Biden administration has said there could be consequences for Israel should it move forward with the operation without a credible plan to safeguard civilians.”
