US concerns over Israel’s Gaza policy led to weapons holdup
The munitions were ready to be shipped to Israel when the administration placed the hold.


The munitions were ready to be shipped to Israel when word of the hold came down, said one senior congressional aide and two other people familiar with the incident. A third person, an industry official, said the administration told Boeing to halt the shipment since the approval was held up for “political reasons,” and not because of supply chain strain.

Iam also keeping an eye on immigration legislation because if this goes all out, many people are going to become migrants and head north (global north). Sudan is basically "gone". Word is Libya's fate will become it's fate (governed by 2 separate governments). Egypt is in poor economic shape and cannot sustain Sudanese streaming into it or the Palestinians for that matter. Something happened a week or two before the war began that made me think that it was probably preparation for fallout from the war. In context of this, Blinken and the DHS secretary went down to Mexico but we can conclude it's all just talk and nothing is going to be done about illegal immigration.
......immigration legislation certainly is being formulated to take all this into account because, again, "From the Nile to the Euphrates" predates October 7th. Europe's suicide pact

Bonnie Glick:

Rich, if I may add to that, because the border is a really critical area that there isn’t enough focus on. That is largely due to American foreign policy decision making. What do I mean by that? It’s an international border. There is an international airport that’s located about 50 kilometers from Rafah inside Egypt, an international airport that could whisk refugees away to a third country, as you mentioned, Qatar, but there are countries that are willing to take Gazan civilians and have them resettled there. The point of a refugee–

Cliff May:

Which countries would those be?

Bonnie Glick:

Those are Scotland, Canada, Chechnya, Turkey, Qatar. These are all country… Egypt doesn’t want them resettling in Egypt. But Egypt–

Cliff May:

Even taking temporary refuge for the duration of the war, which seems to be–

RIch Goldberg:

Of course amazing, Bonnie and Cliff, no security council resolution demanding Egypt open that border once since October 7th.

Bonnie Glick:

Correct.

RIch Goldberg:

No condemnation of keeping people in Gaza when they could be moving into completely isolated empty desert land that doesn’t threaten Egypt at all. I mean, that–

Bonnie Glick:

Part of that, Rich, is because America insists that no Gazan leave Gaza. There’s no other war zone in the world where refugees are not allowed to leave. You’ve had a million people leave Ukraine. You’ve had millions of people leave Venezuela. You’ve had a million Rohingya refugees leave Burma for Bangladesh. Third countries are willing to accept refugees, and that’s the point of refugee resettlement. Giving people the opportunity for a new life. 850,000 Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews left their Arab and Muslim countries in 1948 and came to Israel as refugees. The Jewish homeland and Israel helped them make lives there. That’s the point of refugee resettlement, and it is the key piece that UNRWA refuses to do. UNRWA requires that Palestinians remain in these what they call, so-called occupied areas in the hope of return to a future Palestine. Well, it’s not happening anytime soon. Wouldn’t it be nice to help the people who are in such dire circumstances to get to a safe haven and eventually to be resettled?

Cliff May:

If we understand that, then when we talk about a two-state solution, how does it solve anything to say we are going to recognize a Palestinian state and who’s going to lead that Palestinian state? Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Palestinian Authority that doesn’t condemn Hamas?

Rich Goldberg:

Listen, this is ultimately why you have a crash ahead of you, if you keep trying to barrel trains down towards this idea of a two-state solution. It’s going to be a devastating train crash in foreign policy terms if this is where the United States keeps pushing the trains, because not only do you have Hamas with what you just described as its ideology, but you fundamentally have a narrative indoctrinated for all Palestinians institutionalized by the United Nations and UNRWA, as Bonnie laid out, that is all about the vision of genocide of Jews. It’s inherent in the narrative that if you are waiting for your moment, your October 7th moment to invade and throw all the Jews into the sea and reclaim what’s really yours, and until then you are refugees, until then you cannot achieve the true two state vision. Who are you dealing with from the Israeli side? Who are you dealing with in Washington? This is outrageous. This is like the campus protests from the river to the sea, but actually operationalized to perform the act from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. That is to say to genocide the Jews.

Cliff May:

Yeah, I doubt the Israelis are going to be held back. I think it’s too imperative that they do so. Going back to Lyndon Johnson trying to discourage the Israelis from understanding that that war was going to be fought by Egypt and Syria and Jordan and others in ’67, and they knew what they had to do, or taking out the nuclear reactor at Osirak and Iraq, or the Syrian nuclear reactor. I think the Israelis sometimes know they have to do what they have to do and they’ll ask forgiveness rather than permission at the end of the day.

One who I give the credit for this, David Satterfield, did say that the White House had decided to stop funding for UNRWA and he said it’s not a suspension, it’s a prohibition on providing further funding. That strikes me as a good move. I saw that two congressmen, representative Andy Ogles and Mary Miller, both Republicans, introduced a resolution to designate UNRWA as a foreign terrorist organization, that’s going even further.
What do you think of those, Bonnie?

Bonnie Glick:

So it’s super interesting, and I think Senator Cruz also has something in the works where he wants to designate UNRWA as a foreign terrorist organization, remove the 501C3 benefit for UNRWA where Americans can get a tax benefit for giving to a 501C3 organization associated with UNRWA, and taking it a step further and saying donations to UNRWA are material support for terrorism.

So there are these good moves to cut not just US government, but also good-willed, well-meaning Americans who have been duped by little kids on Halloween going around with trick or treat for UNICEF boxes. Foreign terrorism organization designation of UNRWA likely won’t happen. I think what’s much more likely is that UNRWA will simply be shut down, tail between its legs and it’ll retreat into the darkness, and the leadership of UNRWA will take up new leadership roles in other equally as perverse UN agencies like UN Women, the International Committee for the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, the World Health Organization, all of which have been complicit since October 7th in either the coverup.


So your first question on UNRWA and the FTO designation, it’s a clever move, but I don’t think it will advance. I do think UNRWA ultimately will have so little funding left that it will be forced to shut down. In addition to that, the UN will make an effort to take care of Palestinians possibly by the only logical means available, and that is to roll them into UNHCR, the UN High Commission for Refugees
. That of course will take away all of the permanent refugee status for Palestinians.
So predictable...

Protests are always rife with infiltration but it's curious why MSM has gone hysterical with the narrative this time. We never saw them claim this about George Floyd riots or Jan 6th. Actually, Jan 6th was the fitting event to perpetuate the narrative of Russian agents trying to overthrow the US gov't but no, the press insisted and still insists that it was crazed white-supremacist-Christian nationalists intent on snowballing a theocracy.

A trojan horse perhaps? CNN's Smerconish asks...(10mins)

Its official. It is now illegal to say "Christ is king" in the Christian United States. Why? Because its antisemitic.

My only question is who is more indoctrinated? Israelis who actually think they are victims? Or the Christians who support them while they are crapped on at every opportunity?

Thoughts @e-Enoch @Red Sky at Morning ?

Lots of American Christians on twitter are upset about this new antisemetism bill.

No longer can they say "Christ is king" and saying "Jews killed Jesus" is now illegal.

Christian / Judeo memory months are being cancelled in counties.

Many see it as the Bible being censored. I'm on my phone or I'd post images of these things.

But it looks like Christians are beginning to rise up against Zionism.
The modus operandi for the power players/Establishment is to kill 10 birds with one stone. I have a theory about this development feeding into this.

It is highly likely that the American Right is being played into clamoring for something that they wouldn't have acquiesced to in the first place. MSM has even dropped hints that this would happen if/when there is a constitutional convention, at which America would be declared a christian nation(I haven't posted the NYT article in my other thread) when the constitution is amended and btw this is something 34 states would easily get behind inorder to call convention. Clearly, you understand the ramifications of something like that....

What on earth is going on? It’s so hard to keep up with this mess.
(Al Jazeera live updates)


Biden administration denies that Hamas accepted ceasefire proposal

The Biden administration has denied in a press briefing that Hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal yesterday.
“[State Department spokesperson] Matthew Miller said that Hamas did not accept the ceasefire proposals, it responded and in their response made several suggestions. This is very different interpretation of what Hamas itself thinks that it did, and is certainly the kind of comment that could have an impact on what is happening in Cairo at present,” Al Jazeera correspondent Mike Hanna reported from the State Department in Washington DC.

Was there a deal? Was it, as some in the US administration say, a Hamas counteroffer? Are there two offers on the table or a deal from which the US backed away after seeing Israel’s response?

This is the course of events that my sources with detailed knowledge of negotiations in Cairo and Doha gave me.

Excellent article. I implore everyone to read it.

It seems that the deal Hamas agreed to had some editions (I’m guessing the insertion of a permanent and eventual ceasefire which Israel is vehemently against). So Biden’s statement of Hamas not accepting a ceasefire is quite slimy…it implies they rejected it when in fact they accepted a deal presented by the Egyptian-Qatari negotiators. Biden is only stating this, in my view, to publicly justify the Rafah invasion. Hamas didn’t accept the approved deal so then Israel has the right to enter Rafah has they’d planned…

Just yesterday they were warning Satanyahu not to enter and of course we know they’re lying when they say they aren’t getting involved (you’re involved as soon as you supply endless arms and money).

What’s amazing is they still believe they can defeat Hamas. What’s so jarring about the endless recruits fighting the IDF? You know you’re just making the resistance grow, that’s your plan, to create an endless stream of combatants wanting to avenge their slaughtered parents and relatives. Your plan is to continue the occupation indefinitely and cement your presence in an attempt to ‘defend’ Israel from the very problem it has not only created, but exacerbated over the past 7 months.

The Palestinians aren’t cattle that need to be contained, they need their own freedom and governance. Satanyahu is against this and wants a compliant system he can control in place. Where do we go from here, then?
