Amazing, isn’t it, that hamas has suddenly gained remarkably sophisticated weapons and systems it never had before, then used them to slaughter/injure thousands of Israelis.
Where did they get those weapons and systems? How did they learn to use them?
For one possible – make that probable if you ask me – explanation, let me reference the following excerpts from Tom O’Connor’s frighteningly prescient article in the June 15th issue of Newsweek, titled “Israel Worries U.S. Weapons for Ukraine Are Ending Up in Iran’s Hands”
A high-ranking Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commander has told Newsweek that Israel is concerned over the risks of weapons provided by the United States and other Western nations to Ukraine ending up in the hands of Israel’s foes in the Middle East, including Iran.
With experts too backing these worries, the situation could mark yet another chapter in a long legacy of U.S. arms shipments being diverted, empowering adversaries of both Israel and the U.S. in another restive region, while the focus of Western governments is on the volatile conflict playing out in Eastern Europe.
The Israeli commander said pro-Russian formations were motivated to transfer captured U.S.-supplied weapons due to the close defense relationship between Moscow and Tehran, while pro-Ukrainian elements were largely motivated by money to smuggle arms. The commander said the primary route was via the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, and argued that the situation was “very dangerous” due to two primary concerns for Israel.
“One is that they can research capabilities, and then learn how to manufacture them. I’m talking especially about Iran,” the Israeli commander told Newsweek. “The other problem is that we are very worried that some of these capabilities are going to fall to Hezbollah and Hamas’ hands.”
That scary enough for you?
If not, please also consider the fact that, as part of the Biden administration’s impossibly incompetent, disastrous pullout from Afghanistan, it managed to leave something like $7-8 billion of our state-of-the-art weaponry behind for the taliban.
How much of that weaponry do you think might have eventually wound up in the hands of hamas and hezbollah terrorists, who then were trained by Russia and Iran to use it against Jews in Israel?
I do not have the words to describe what a cataclysmic disaster the Biden presidency has been, and continues to be, and I can only wonder how much of the Israeli blood shed this weekend – with more certain to be shed – is on its hands.
