Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu released a video on Tuesday directly criticizing the Biden administration. Frustrations have grown over the last several months as Joe Biden and his national security team have withheld deliveries of munitions in an attempt to force Israel to surrender to Hamas.
Netanyahu is likely priming the pump for his address to Congress, which is set to take place later in June.

NETANYAHU: When Secretary Blinken was recently here in Israel, we had a candid conversation. I said I deeply appreciated the support the U.S. has given Israel from the beginning of the war, but I also said something else. I said it is inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunition from Israel. Israel, America’s closest ally fighting for its life, fighting against Iran and our other common enemies.
Secretary Blinken assured that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks. I certainly hope that’s the case. It should be the case. During World War II, Churchill told the United States, “Give us the tools, we’ll do the job.” I say, give us the tools and we’ll finish the job a lot faster.
Biden’s machinations have stemmed from his domestic woes, as he faces a tough re-election campaign against Donald Trump. Repeatedly, the White House has made concessions to Hamas, most recently with a laughably bad ceasefire proposal (that Hamas rejected anyway), in a vile attempt to court radicals in places like Dearborn, MI. Of course, that hasn’t worked, and the president continues to draw the ire of the far-left.
For its part, Israel has remained committed to its goals, and it invaded Rafah despite Biden proclaiming it a “red line.” So far, two full battalions of Hamas fighters have been dispatched as a result. The war will continue until Hamas’ total defeat barring real concessions being made by the terrorists to secure a ceasefire, including releasing all the hostages.
What I found interesting, though, was the reaction to Netanyahu’s statement. For the past few years, liberals have gone after anyone who questions American allies as treasonous stooges.
This fucking asshole…

That’s Alexander Vindman’s less-than-stable wife cursing at the Israeli PM for simply speaking the truth about the Biden administration’s betrayals. She’s spent the entiretly of the Ukraine-Russia war lecturing others on the importance of supporting allies. Yet, all of a sudden, she’s not so supportive anymore. Weird, right?
The Biden administration has tried to straddle a fence that can’t be straddled when it comes to Israel and Hamas. For that, they are repeating the whirlwind from all sides. Netanyahu should light into Blinken and company even more when he addresses Congress. Leave no doubt.
