Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Archives

Less than a week ago, the Biden administration cancelled a high-level U.S.-Israel meeting on Iran, and scolded Netanyahu in protest over a video the Israeli prime minister released stating the truth — that the U.S. was withholding military aid.

The video provoked a temper tantrum from Biden reps. A U.S. official said that Netanyahu’s “decision makes it clear that there are consequences for pulling such stunts,” but who does this unnamed individual think he or she is? Israel is not an inferior, nor a subject of the Biden administration.

Biden did withhold weapons from Israel, but expected Israel to be silent about it, and to reduce itself to a beggar’s gratitude, ostensibly so as not to stir up disapproval from the pro-Israel voting bloc.

A few days later, “US officials confirmed that there has been a steep decline in weapons and ammunition provided by the US.”

Iran, Hamas, Hizballah and all jihadists are enemies to America and the infidel West, as jihadists seek global conquest.

Israel is on the frontline to secure its own existence, but it also battles by proxy for all free societies, which benefit from Israel being on the front lines.

The Biden administration is unreliable, and is a stumbling block to Israel.

US admits cutting shipments of military aid to Israel by 50%

by Vered Weiss, World Israel News, June 23, 2024:

US officials confirmed that there has been a steep decline in weapons and ammunition provided by the US to Israel in recent months.

At the outset of the Gaza war, the US sent 240 shipments of military aid to Israel, but more recently, the number has dropped to 120, resulting in a 50% reduction.

Both US and Israeli officials confirmed that there has been a decrease in US arm shipments to Israel.

Addressing the situation at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “There has been a dramatic decrease in the supply of munitions from the US.”‘

Although Netanyahu thanked the US for its support at the beginning of the war, “both in spirit and in material means,” he says he has had to urge the US to “speed up the shipments.”

The Israeli Prime Minister expressed his frustration, “We did it again and again. We did it at the highest levels, at all levels, we did it in closed rooms. ”

He added, “They gave us all sorts of explanations, but we didn’t get one thing – the basic situation hasn’t changed. Certain items trickled in, but the great mass of weapons remained behind.”…

ICC prosecutor threatens U.S. senators

by Elliott Abrams, JNS, May 29, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Many critics thought the International Criminal Court had gone too far when its prosecutor asked for arrest warrants against Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

But as the saying goes, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”

Now, the prosecutor’s office has threatened to prosecute criticism of…himself. Those who seek to defend Israel and stop the malicious, deeply antisemitic action against its leaders and against the Jewish state are now being told that their words and actions may also be a crime.

This may sound like something out of “Alice in Wonderland,” but it is an effort not only to limit freedom of speech, but to limit the constitutional powers of the U.S. Congress.

After the prosecutor called for the arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, 12 U.S. senators wrote to the ICC. The full text of the letter is below. The final paragraphs read:

“If you issue a warrant for the arrest of the Israeli leadership, we will interpret this not only as a threat to Israel’s sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States.

“The United States will not tolerate politicized attacks by the ICC on our allies. Target Israel and we will target you. If you move forward with the measures indicated in the report, we will move to end all American support for the ICC, sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States. You have been warned.”

The reaction of the prosecutor’s office came in a tweet, the key language of which is this:

“When individuals threaten to retaliate against the Court or Court personnel…such threats, even when not acted upon, may also constitute an offence against the administration of justice under Art. 70 of the Rome Statute.”

Wow.

The 12 senators are already criminals, according to the ICC prosecutor, for writing their letter—even if absolutely nothing else happens. Note that the prosecutor writes of “individuals” who may threaten the ICC, whereas the senators write as U.S. government officials about possible official U.S. government actions. In plain language, the prosecutor is arguing that he and the ICC are above criticism. Forget freedom of speech or national sovereignty. To say that the United States, which is not a party to the Rome Statute, might react to punish the ICC for illegal and immoral actions it and its employees may take is not permitted….
