Genocide Joe buying votes.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

"I remember like it was only yesterday that halting arms shipments to an ally that were approved by Congress in order to realize a personal political benefit -- i.e, gain an election advantage -- was an impeachable offense."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Rules for thee, not for me. Wonder how bad they will be as a lame duck administration?

The Biden administration hid information about its decision to pause U.S. arms sales to Israel from Congress, sparking a probe led by two GOP senators, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Senators Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) and Ted Budd (R., N.C.), in a letter sent Monday evening to the White House, are asking the administration to immediately inform Congress about what types of ammunition are being withheld from Israel and why. The pause in these ammo shipments was approved last week, but only became publicly known over the weekend when the decision was leaked to Axios. The Biden administration is holding up shipments of two types of Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel, one U.S. official told Politico.
"We are shocked that your administration has reportedly decided to withhold critical ammunition to Israel," the senators wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by the Free Beacon. "You promised your commitment to Israel was ironclad. Pausing much-needed military support to our closest Middle Eastern ally signals otherwise."
The senators say the White House "failed to notify Congress about this decision," leaving lawmakers to learn of the decision from press reports. The letter signals mounting GOP concern with the Biden administration’s increasingly hostile stance toward Israel as it launches an offensive campaign into the Gaza Strip’s Rafah neighborhood, which the United States has lobbied against. The reported halt in ammunition sales is being viewed as a sign the Biden administration is caving to pressure from anti-Israel advocates in the Democratic Party who want to see the Jewish state isolated.

"War is easy, peace is hard."
That is essentially what the historian Stephen Kotkin speaks of when he refers to “winning the peace”. A country can win the war but lose the ensuing peace. In the aftermath of WWII in Europe, Stalin won the war but the USSR lost the peace to the Western allies and rebuilt Germany. At the moment while it appears the IDF is winning, or has won, the war against Hamas, the Netanyahu government is in the process of losing the ensuing peace. In the end it is winning the peace is what counts and that takes planning and resolve.

@George-K What am I seeing in the above video?
-
@taiwan_girl presumably a US interception of a Hamas missile aimed at the "humanitarian pier."
-
No. It was test firing. The weapon is deployed on the pier in case it gets targeted.

The International Court of Justice in the Hague ordered Israel to halt its Rafah operation, in a blow to Jerusalem’s diplomatic and judicial systems, on Friday. The court also ordered Israel to enable the entry of all the necessary humanitarian aid to Gaza.
All measures were agreed upon in a vote of 13-2. The two votes against each measure were Julia Sebutinde, Uganda’s representative to the International Court of Justice, and Aharon Barak, former Israeli High Court President and Israel’s appointee to the ICJ Panel.
The ICJ voted that Israel must immediately “halt its military offensive and any other action in the Rafah [area] which may inflict damaged on the Palestinian population in Gaza, or the conditions of life that would bring about its physical dysfunction, in whole or in part in favor,” Salam stated.

@George-K Too lazy to look, but have they done the same thing for Russia invading Ukraine?
