    Political posturing by the evil people running the country behind the puppet known as sleepy Joe.

    If Congress approved it and he signed it, the Administration has no reason to hold up shipment.

    Like I said.... if you don't understand that Hama's has been shooting rockets into Israel for years now hiding behind schools and hospitals then you truly are uninformed on the facts

    Biden already stated he will help defend Israel, but will not help them fight if they start a war with Iran, only defend against attacks from Iran

    as a supporter of Israel, I am disappointed in how they are handling the Gazzians, I think they can do better

    no one faults Israel for their early response to Oct 7th, any country would do that

    by the same token, I think the USA over responded to 9-11, about 8 trillion and 20 years later.... did we change anything

    I was disappointed in the USA supporting torture of POWs, we can support a country, but disagree with things they are doing

    trying to say anyone against the genocide of the Gazzians is pro-Hamas or anti-Israel is ridiculous and everyone knows it

    Trump's problem with his "quid pro quo" was that it was to get dirt on a political advisory and force a foreign country to announce an investigation, not because it was a "quid pro quo", nice spin though

    Where's all the preaching about Russia tactics against Ukraine? Why is Israel expected to walk on egg shells when nobody else is?
    I'm sure this will be easy to answer.
    Ready..............GO!!!

    And yet no one ever discusses the pink elephant in the room... hostages.
    How many hostages does Israel have?

    100%. I would also say that demanding an end to the slaughter in Gaza is pro Israel, not Pro Hamas. Humanitarian action and honest diplomacy with the aim of benfitting both sides will in the long run reduce violence, an help keep Israel's children from living through the same hell that is ocurring again and again, and at the same time reduce support for groups like Hamas, as their reason for being will cease to exist.

    Supporting the continued slaughter of civilians is anti Israel, as it condemns Israel to perpetual violence on an even greater scale.

    Except when they "accidentally" bomb well marked aid convoys.

    Whatabout, Whatabout, Whatabout...:bored:

    ***Anyway, back to the actual topic:
    It DOESN'T affect future shipments...
    The hold is not connected to a potential Israeli operation in Rafah and doesn’t affect other shipments moving forward, the source said.
    So? Big whoop!:bored:

    The quid pro quo was. Any whistleblowers come forward saying Biden demanded a quid pro quo?

    WNYC. Go ahead, evaluate away.
    For "print" media, the New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor and the Wall Street Journal.

    And you ? What are your preferred news outlet?

    No it was withholding allocated funds for the sole purpose of soliciting aid from a foreign country to strong arm them into opening a public investigation into his main political opponent.

    If Trump was impeached for withholding Congressionally approved funds, which he did and admitted, why did republicans find him not guilty?

    It is to be sure. You should have heard Mark Levin last night. He laid out the case for Biden's racism and anti-semitism and international relations failures with clips and facts. It was brutal. It would have made you palpably desperate.

    Mark Levin is a complete joke and one of the most laughably conspiratorial idiots in media...
    I can only imagine the sort of wild-eyed bullshit that imbecile would fabricate...
    Too funny...
