In the middle of a war, Biden plans to sanction a battalion of our ally, Israel. The plan is to sanction the IDF in the West Bank over alleged human rights abuses. All this is to get the Arab votes, especially in Michigan.
Prime Minister Netanyahu called the plan “absurd” and a “moral low.”
Bloomberg reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the reported US plan to sanction the ultra-orthodox army battalion.
Bloomberg:
“At a time when our soldiers are fighting terrorist monsters, the intention to sanction a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low,” Netanyahu wrote on X, referring to the Israel Defense Forces.
The US is expected within days to announce the punitive measure, which would be the first time the US sanctions an Israeli army unit, Axios reported on Saturday, citing three people with knowledge of the matter in the US that it didn’t identify. The US Embassy in Israel declined to comment.
Blacklisting the Netzah Yehuda Battalion would prohibit it from receiving US military equipment or training. It’s been accused of mistreating Palestinians, including in an incident in January 2022 when an elderly US-Palestinian man, Omar Assad, was found dead after his detention by members of the unit in the West Bank.
Secretary Blinken will let us know the determinations “in the days ahead.” Also, our Congress is going to supply Gaza (Hamas) with tax dollars. We fund both sides of the war but save the worst condemnations for our ally.

This pretty well shows the Anti-Semitic State Department.
“While the State Department looks into thousands of allegations of Leahy Law violations each year, it created a special panel known as the Israel Leahy Vetting Forum that exclusively vets allegations against the IDF and Israel Police due to the political sensitivity of the issue.”
Caroline Glick spells it out, with reality.

Biden, and his team, really aren’t too bright. Just because the Left hates the religious parties doesn’t mean that applies to a Haredi battalion. The Leftist parties also condemned the US action. The religious have lost the most in the war and both sides acknowledge their role and support them.
This is the Fourth round of sanctions which has been targeting all those who live in Judea and Samaria. It’s likely an attack on anyone who doesn’t support Biden’s infamous two-state solution. But what he doesn’t realize is a very large majority Now are against the two-state delusion. Notice he hasn’t even made a comment, let alone sanctions, against those PA police who have been supplied weapons and training. They are the the ones who have perpetrated all the attacks against Jews since Oct 7.
It’s time again for Ben Gvir to revisit his plan to take away the immunity of Banks who send the PA their funds.
