Biden’s Failure: US Taxpayers to Spend Another $22M to Repair Gaza Pier – Report By C. Douglas Golden
Jun. 17, 2024 11:40 am – The good news: Thanks to God’s underrated sense of irony, President Joe Biden’s administration’s ludicrous plan to build a pier in Gaza without putting U.S. boots on the ground in order to deliver aid that absolutely, positively wouldn’t be stolen by Hamas has been, for the moment, foiled by the unseen element of bad weather that happens every year in the Mediterranean. More’s the pity.
The bad news: Apparently, “devout Catholic” Joe Biden can’t take a divine hint and the American taxpayer will be on the hook for at least another $22 million to fix the thing so Hamas can restart stealing … erm, I mean, borrowing aid.
According to the The Jerusalem Post, the $320 million pier had apparently been fixed and ready for action last Saturday after breaking apart under moderate seas and partially sinking in late May. However, it only managed to say open for a single day before that darned water stopped cooperating again.
“The pier was reattached to the coastline Friday after a mishap in which heavy seas cost at least $22 million in damage to the structure. More than a million pounds of aid flowed over it Saturday, but operations were curtailed again Sunday and Monday because of more heavy sea conditions,” The Washington Post reported, citing military sources.
In addition, the World Food Program announced on Sunday that they were suspending aid operations because of rampant looting.
“We are reassessing the safety aspects of where we should be and what this means for us,” said World Food Program head Cindy McCain. “It made things a lot more dangerous. … The crowd is already hungry. They’re desperate. And then to have something like this occur?”
“[WFP trucks] are looted because it’s so difficult to get along,” she added.
Hamas has a long history of, shall we say, requisitioning aid provided to the benighted residents of Gaza and decided who needs it most (hint: usually themselves), but that didn’t stop President Biden from promising to build the pier during his State of the Union address in March.
“The United States has been leading international efforts to get more humanitarian assistance into Gaza,” he said. “Tonight, I’m directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters.
“No U.S. boots will be on the ground. This temporary pier would enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.”

Yair Netanyahu infers there was treason on October 7th
Netanuahu’s son claimed, that Supreme Court froze the state auditor’s review of the IDF and Shin Bet, to hide events leading up to the massacre. ‘A state investigative committee is almost always used as a cover-up committee for the Left wing.’
Jun 17, 2024, 9:45 AM (GMT+3) Israel National News – Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, attacked the High Court of Justice following its decision to freeze the State Comptroller’s investigation of the major IDF and Shin Bet failure to anticipate the October 7th attack.
“What are they trying to hide? If there was no treason, why are they so afraid that external and independent parties will check what happened?” Netanyahu Jr. wondered.
He added, “To this day, no one has explained why they did not inform the Prime Minister about the conversation held the night before October 7th. Why was he not informed about the material discovered as part of the Walls of Jericho intelligence report? Why did the heads of the army and intelligence constantly claim that Hamas was deterred? Where was the Air Force on 7.10”?
The Prime Minister’s son also criticized the attempts to establish a state commission of inquiry and claimed that it was a purely political move. “A state investigation committee, despite the pretentious name, is always chaired by a Supreme Court judge, and is therefore almost always used as a cover-up committee for the Left.”
Yesterday, the High Court of Justice ordered to freeze the State Comptroller’s review of the IDF and Shin Bet’s failure on and up to October 7. “At this stage, pending the hearing of the petition given the complex security situation – I am ordering the postponement of the IDF and Shin Bet review.”

Netanyahu dissolves War Cabinet
The Prime Minister has decided to dissolve the War Cabinet and decisions will instead be made by the Security Cabinet.
Jun 17, 2024, 11:20 AM (GMT+3) Israel National News – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced to his ministers who participated in the Security Cabinet session on Sunday that he has decided to dissolve the War Cabinet and to hold the relevant discussions in the broader Security Cabinet instead.
However, those close to the Prime Minister predict that he will hold consultations with a smaller forum, similar to the War Cabinet, while decisions will be made in the Security Cabinet.
By doing this, Netanyahu absolved himself of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s demands to join the War Cabinet after the National Unity Party left the government.
Last week, Ben-Gvir sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the resignation of Benny Gantz and the National Unity Party from the coalition.
“With the outbreak of the war, as part of a necessary step of the unity of the ranks, the National Unity Party was added to the coalition. This step was taken with our full support out of statesmanship and national responsibility. In contrast, to this ‘statesmanlike’ step of ‘unity’, there was also added an ugly step, of an ultimatum to form a small cabinet, and to boycott parties in the coalition and senior ministers, including the undersigned,” wrote Ben Gvir.
He added that “out of that national responsibility, despite the difficult ideological differences with Gantz and Eisenkot’s views, which are dangerous in our eyes, we kept quiet about it.”
“The same small cabinet, which until now was the ‘cabinet of the concept’, led Israel until now, while excluding senior ministers in the government. No more. Now, with the resignation of the ministers of the concept, there is no longer an excuse for boycotting and excluding partners and senior ministers, certainly partners who warned in real time about the concept and perception that today everyone understands were wrong,” stated Ben Gvir.
“As a minister in the government, chairman of a party and a senior partner in the coalition, I hereby demand to join this cabinet, in order to be a partner in determining Israel’s security policy in the current precipice of times. The time has come to make brave decisions,” he concluded.

The Maldives are clear that they do not seek to ban Arabs, Muslim or Christian Israelis, but only one specific group of people: Jews. (Via Hen Mazzig)

‘Innocent civilian’ children in Tulkarm, in central Israel
[Ed.: IINO has condoned and enabled Arab children to be educated to kill Jews since IINO brought Arafat and his PLO to move to Israel from Tunisia 30-years ago in 1994. This is the only explanation of why they all want nothing except to kill Jews. Don’t blame the freakin’ Arabs when we have only ourselves to blame!]
Jewish Right to Judea and Samaria By Alex Grobman PhD.
10 Sivan 5784 – June 16, 2024
When U.S. Ambassador David Friedman, expressed support for Israel retaining part of Judea and Samaria in any future peace agreement, his remarks were greeted with scorn from Haaretz and others. Anyone familiar with the history of the Israeli/Arab conflict might conclude that the Arabs won all of the wars in which they fought, and therefore could dictate the terms of the peace. A logical question might be asked: By what legal right are Arabs permitted to live in Gaza and Judea and Samaria, but the Jews are restricted to only certain portions of these areas? The Mandate for Palestine conferred the right of the Jews to settle anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This entitlement has not been changed in international law.
At the San Remo Conference in San Remo, Italy in April 1920, the Supreme Council of the Principal Allied Powers, Britain, France, Italy and Japan met to define the precise boundaries of the lands they had conquered at the end of the First World War. As part of a broad peace agreement, the Council decided that the Balfour Declaration of November 2, 1917, would be incorporated in The Treaty of Peace with Turkey.
When the Arabs brought their case before the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP), the committee established on May 15, 1947, to investigate the source of the conflict in Palestine and to offer a solution, the committee concluded, “There would seem to be no grounds for questioning the validity of the Mandate for the reason advanced by the Arab States.” Though the Arabs viewed themselves as having a “natural” right to Palestine, the UNSCOP report asserted that the “Arabs have never established a government there and…that not since 63 B.C., when Pompey stormed Jerusalem, has Palestine been an independent State.”
Poll: Almost 70% of Palestinians Support October 7 Attack, Expect Hamas to Win [VIDEOS] By Pamela Geller
June 15, 2024 – These are the “innocent civilians” the world is supporting and funding and Israel is killing herself to save.
It is inhuman, irrational and anti-real. It’s evil.
PMW:=Shocking poll results in the latest poll by PSR! Only 9% of Palestinians think Hamas committed war crimes while a whopping 67% say the Oct. 7 attacks were a correct decision.
For those who still delude themselves into thinking that Palestinians are moderate, think again. For president, Palestinians overwhelmingly prefer the Hamas leader (46%) over the PA/Fatah leader (5%). Fatah is only preferred when their candidate is the terrorist Marwan Barghouti, a convicted murderer, who is serving 5 life sentences.
This must be an eye-opener for Americans and Europeans who are pressuring Israel to accept the Palestinian Authority as a peace partner. The PA represents no one. The Palestinian population is not interested in peace. Mahmoud Abbas only represents himself. And if they ever have a future election, they are certain to elect a terrorist as president and Hamas to rule the parliament.
The following are some of the most important findings in the latest poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR). Palestinians were questioned between May 26 and June 1, 2024. The poll includes Palestinians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
11 IDF soldiers killed in Gaza fighting over the weekend, bringing total to 306
Over the weekend, two separate incidents unfolded in Gaza: an explosion in the south that claimed the lives of 8 IDF soldiers, and another incident in the north which resulted in the loss of 2
June 16, 2024 at 05:09 AM i24NEWS – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are grappling with the aftermath of a devastating incident in Rafah, southern Gaza, where eight soldiers from Combat Engineering Battalion 601 lost their lives during an operation early Saturday morning.
The incident, which occurred at approximately 5:15 A.M. local time, marks a significant loss for the IDF, the largest in one day since January.
The soldiers, part of Givati Battalion 424, were engaged in an operation targeting Hamas militants and terrorist infrastructure in the northwestern part of Tal al-Sultan, a neighborhood in Rafah. Initial reports indicate that their Namer armored personnel carrier was struck by a powerful explosion, believed to have been caused by a remotely-detonated roadside bomb. The explosion was exacerbated by engineering tools and explosive materials carried inside the vehicle, leading to severe damage and making identification of the soldiers challenging.
“The incident has not yet been fully examined. These are preliminary findings,” stated IDF officials, emphasizing the complexity and seriousness of the situation.
The names of the victims that have so far been authorized for publication are:
Hating Israel Isn’t New; How the CIA and State Department Undermined the Jewish State by Sean Durns
JUNE 3, 2024 11:00 AM – “Teddy Roosevelt’s great-great-great grandson is an anti-Israel protester at Princeton,” blared a New York Post headline on May 4, 2024.
The Post reported that Quentin Colon Roosevelt, an 18-year-old freshman, and descendant of the 25th President, is an anti-Israel activist at the Ivy League university. But far from being hip and new, Quentin’s brand of anti-Zionism is old hat — he is merely continuing a long family tradition of anti-Israel activism.
There is an abundance of literature on Franklin D. Roosevelt’s views on Jews and Zionism, the belief in Jewish self-determination. Both FDR and his wife Eleanor had made antisemitic remarks. In a private conversation in 1938, then-President Roosevelt suggested that by dominating the economy in Poland, Jews were themselves fueling antisemitism. And in a 1941 Cabinet meeting, FDR remarked that there were too many Jewish Federal employees in Oregon. In his final days, FDR promised Saudi leader Abdul Aziz Ibn al Saud that he would oppose the creation of Jewish state in the Jewish people’s ancestral homeland.
