The United States Funded the Terrorist Attack on Israel? Unfortunately, it's not entire impossible | | Over the weekend, a devastating Hamas attack in Israel claimed more than 600 lives and left over 2,000 people injured, marking an unprecedented level of conflict since the 1973 Yom Kippur War. This event has triggered strong criticisms from Republicans in Congress, particularly regarding the Biden administration's recent financial dealings with Iran and the question of liability. The situation also raises significant questions about the United States' role in international conflicts, reminiscent of President Nixon's decisions during the Yom Kippur War. | Background As I'm sure you saw, over the weekend Hamas launched a brutal attack on Israel, that has led to the deaths of More than 600 Israelis and injured over 2,000 more.
A conflict of this magnitude hasn't been witnessed in Israel since the Yom Kippur War of 1973, occurring almost exactly 50 years before the commencement of the current one. | Did we fund it? Republicans in both the House and Senate have strongly criticized the Biden administration for releasing $6 billion in Iranian assets, a move that occurred just weeks before the deadly and extensive attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists this past Saturday.
Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., expressed her concern, stating, "Only weeks ago, the Biden administration transferred $6 billion to Iran, and today, we witness innocent Israelis falling victim to terrorists with Iranian ties. It is crucial that we continue to stand by our strongest ally in the Middle East, supporting their right to defend themselves against these unprovoked and horrifying attacks."
Let's consider the sequence of events. Just a few weeks ago, the Biden Administration released $6 billion to Iran. Now, reports are emerging that Iran played a role in planning an attack on Israel over the past several weeks. I'm not saying the Biden administration wanted this to happen, or even knew this was going to happen, but when you release billions to a known state sponsor of terrorism you have some liability. | Just how bad is it?: Reports from various sources indicate that the death toll over the weekend has reached a grim milestone, with the highest number of Jewish lives lost in a single day since the Holocaust. | Should we get involved?: Honestly, this is the one aspect of politics that I find myself constantly wavering on. It's simple to assert that the United States shouldn't act as the world's police, but when you witness the actions of Hamas over the weekend, it evokes a sentiment reminiscent of President Nixon's reaction in 1973 upon hearing about the Yom Kippur War: "Send everything that can fly." |
