THERE IS NO GREATER DANGER TO THE WORLD THAN SOCIOPATH JOE BIDEN!
Cotton: Israel Should Reject Biden’s Effort to Send Fuel to Hamas
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has accused President Joe Biden of pressuring Israel to give fuel to Hamas, which would benefit from any supply of fuel to the Gaza Strip, and has urged the Israeli government to reject the president’s efforts.
Cotton made the accusation in two posts on Twitter/X on Wednesday:
Hamas is known to hoard fuel and other necessities that are intended for civilian use. As NBC News reported on Wednesday:
As U.N. officials say hospitals in Gaza are running dangerously low on fuel, Hamas is maintaining a stockpile of more than 200,000 gallons of fuel for the rockets it fires into Israel and the generators that provide clean air and electricity to its network of underground tunnels, according to U.S. officials, current and former Israeli officials and academics.
…
Hamas, meanwhile, has repeatedly demanded fuel deliveries to Gaza during negotiations to allow foreign nationals to leave the enclave and in talks about the release of 240 people it kidnapped.
It is thought to have several months’ worth of fuel stored in its network of tunnels beneath Gaza, which it could release to the civilian population if it wanted to do so. But the terror organization does not concern itself with the welfare of Palestinian civilians, whom Hamas considers Israel’s and the UN’s responsibility in any case.
Israel also recently produced evidence that Hamas is stealing fuel from the hospitals in Gaza.
As Breitbart News has reported, the Biden administration is also pressuring Israel for a “pause” in fighting, which it claims is different from a “ceasefire.” The purpose of the “pause” would ostensibly be to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and to facilitate the release of hostages, yet neither of these activities is directly threatened by Israel’s military activities. The real purpose of the “pause” would appear to be to appease Biden’s angry Arab- and Muslim-American supporters in key swing states like Michigan.
Cotton accused Biden of mincing words:
Cotton’s argument is supported by the fact that the word “pause” translates into Hebrew in a way that is similar to the word for “ceasefire,” such that an Israeli news reader had to explain the difference.
Sen. Cotton has not been shy about telling foreign governments to oppose what he considers bad policies by his own government. In 2015, he wrote to Iran, warning it that President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal would not bind future U.S. governments because it had not been ratified by the Senate, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
Others have also faulted Biden for sending $100 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza, knowing it might be seized by Hamas, while threatening to veto a funding bill to support Israel’s war effort if that legislation is not also tied to funding for the war in Ukraine.

Ted Cruz Slams Joe Biden’s ‘Obscene’ Call for a Humanitarian ‘Pause’ in Gaza, Accuses Admin of Funding Hamas Massacre
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called out President Joe Biden’s “obscene” gesture in calling for a humanitarian “pause” in the Israel-Hamas war, in which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is mounting a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.
Cruz, who is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, accused the president of having “poured hundreds of millions of dollars toward Hamas, which then massacred 1,400 Israelis and dozens of Americans.”
He noted Biden is “pressuring Israel to stand down so Hamas can regroup.”
“He’s even pressuring Israel to send more fuel to the Gaza Strip, which Hamas will seize and use to attack Israel,” he added.
On Wednesday, the IDF released an audio recording of a phone call it says was between the manager of a hospital, the commander of a Hamas battalion, and a citizen in Gaza, in which the Hamas terrorist admits to taking fuel from the hospital.

Israel Defense ForcesThe matter follows President Biden’s call for a humanitarian “pause” in the Israel-Hamas war while speaking to a crowd of supporters in Minneapolis about what motivated him to run for president.
After a woman interrupted him by shouting for a cease-fire, Biden said he understood her emotions and emphasized that his call for a pause in the war meant allowing “time to get the prisoners out.”
The White House later clarified that the president’s call for a “pause” meant for humanitarian reasons.
The president has “faced intensifying pressure from human rights groups, fellow world leaders and even liberal members of his own Democratic Party, who say that the Israeli bombardment of Gaza is collective punishment and that it is time for a cease-fire,” as noted by the Associated Press.
The outlet explained:
In his comments, Biden was exerting pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give Palestinians at least a brief reprieve from the relentless military operation that’s left thousands dead and mired the 141-square-mile strip in a roiling humanitarian crisis.
ISRAEL FIGHTS TERROR: Is Israel’s Response to Hamas Legal and Justified?
Joel PollakIn October, a senior political official in the Palestinian Hamas terror organization told Lebanese television that the group intends to repeat its October 7 terror attack — the worst terrorist attack in the Jewish state’s history — until Israel is annihilated.
The massacre saw some 2,500 terrorists burst into Israel by land, sea, and air and gun down participants at an outdoor music festival as others went door-to-door hunting for Jewish men, women, and children in local towns who were then subject to torture, rape, execution, immolation, and kidnapping.
The attack resulted in more than 1,400 dead inside the Jewish state, over 5,300 more wounded, and at least 240 hostages of all ages taken.
The vast majority of the victims are civilians and include dozens of American citizens.

Joel B. Pollak / Breitbart NewsIn October, Cruz accused the Biden administration of having funded Hamas’s brutal terrorist attack in Israel “in a very real and concrete way.”
He also warned that President Biden has boosted the Iranian threat to both America and the world while calling to cut off all funds the current administration is “flowing to Gaza” and, instead, “stand unequivocally with Israel.”
