Biden administration to restore $235m in US aid to Palestinians
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-56665199
biden does this and less than a month later, hamas attack Israel.
Where did hamas get the money for the missiles?
Where did they get the idea it is all 'green for go' for their war.
Right Wing is the Natural Progression.

Israel-Gaza: Rockets pound Israel after militants killed
Published
3 hours ago
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-57094737
Hamas militants have launched dozens of rockets at Israel after Israeli air strikes killed senior commanders and felled a multi-storey building in Gaza.
Reports say several locations in southern Israel were hit, killing a young child in Sderot.
The escalation of the fighting, which began on Monday, has prompted the UN to warn of a "full-scale war".
At least 65 people in Gaza, including 14 children, and seven people in Israel have been killed since then.
The fighting erupted after weeks of rising Israeli-Palestinian tension in East Jerusalem which culminated in clashes at a holy site revered by Muslims and Jews.

Pales into insignificance compared to the Billions of aid given to Israel to kill Palestinians

The Largess of U.S. Assistance to Israel
Through FY2020, the United States has provided Israel with $146 billion in military, economic, and missile defense funding. Adjusted for inflation, this amount is equivalent to $236 billion in 2018 dollars, making Israel the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. assistance since World War II.
Today, almost all U.S. assistance to Israel is in the form of weapons grants. Israel receives $3.3 billion annually in foreign military financing (FMF). It also receives $500 million for joint U.S.-Israeli research, development, and deployment of missile defense systems; however, these anti-missile systems almost wholly benefit Israeli military needs. In FY2021, the administration of former president Donald Trump requested $3.3 billion in FMF for Israel, constituting 59 percent of the requested global FMF budget. Israel receives more FMF than all other countries in the world combined (see figure 1).

Maybe the US Military can go in and fix it up with a few bombs or something. There isn't any other "wars" around is there?
Give them something to do.

Iran finances Hamas and Iran wants a war. Slow Joe will accommodate them by handing them $7 billion.
