The Biden regime is expected to announce sanctions against IDF unit for human rights abuses. This is a punishing break with our most devoted and stalwart ally, all while continuing to fund Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terror and it’s vicious jihad proxies in Gaza (Hamas), Syria and Lebanon (Hezb’Allah) and Judea, Samaria (‘Palestinian’ jihad) in their genocidal jihad against the tiny Jewish nation.
It beggars belief, too gruesome to contemplate. The United States of America is rewarding savage jihad terrorists unimaginable bounty for the most unspeakable massacre and monstrous atrocities against the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
The message the Biden regime is sending to jihad terrorists is clear. We will break with and punish our allies and you will reap untold wealth and legitimacy for the most monstrous brutality and obscene savagery against the Jewish people.

Benjamin Netanyahu:
Sanctions must not be imposed on the Israel Defense Forces!
**
In recent weeks, I have been working against the imposition of sanctions on Israeli citizens, including in my conversations with senior American government officials.At a time when our soldiers are fighting the monsters of terror, the intention to impose a sanction on a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low.
The government headed by me will act by all means against these moves.

The US is expected to announce sanctions against IDF unit for human rights abuses
The IDF unit operates in the West Bank and is mainly composed of haredi men and extremist youth who hold-far right views, and were not included in other combat units in the IDF.By Baral Rabid, Jerusalem Post, April 20, 2024:
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to announce sanctions against the IDF’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion in the next few days, according to three American sources.
The sanctions are a result of human rights violations against Palestinians in the West Bank.
This will be the first time that the United States government has imposed sanctions on an Israeli military unit for its activities in the West Bank.
The sources stated that the American sanctions will prohibit the transfer of US military aid to the Netzah Yehuda Battalion, will prevent its soldiers and officers from taking part in training with the United States military, and will prevent the soldiers from this unit from participating in activities that receive American funding.
The sanctions are based on a 1997 law by former Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, which prohibits the United States from providing military aid or training to security forces, the military, or the police when there is reliable information about human rights abuses.
A senior US administration official told Walla! that Blinken’s decision is based on incidents that occurred before October 7 and occurred only in the West Bank.
This was the only unit Blinken decided to sanctionOne of the sources stated that Blinken decided not to impose sanctions on several additional units in the IDF and the Israel Police that were also under investigation because they had corrected their conduct.
On Thursday, the American investigative website ProPublica reported that a special committee of the American State Department, which investigated allegations of human rights violations in the West Bank, forwarded recommendations a few months ago to Blinken to impose sanctions on several units of the IDF and the Israel Police and to prevent them from receiving American funding.
At a press conference in Italy on Friday, Blinken was asked about these recommendations, and claimed that he had made a decision on the matter and that an announcement about it would be made in the coming days.
Israeli officials condemn sanctions
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed outrage at the reported intention to sanction the unit, writing on X that “sanctions must not be imposed on the IDF!”
Netanyahu added that in recent weeks he’s been working against the imposition of sanctions on Israeli citizens.
“At a time when our soldiers are fighting the monsters of terror, the intention to impose a sanction on a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low,” wrote Netanyahu. “The government headed by me will act by all means against these moves.”
The Netzah Yehuda Battalion was originally established as a special military unit for haredim (ultra-orthodox), in which all of the soldiers and officers were men.

If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve. Officers and men alike will put forth their uttermost strength. Soldiers in desperate straits lose the sense of fear. If there is no place of refuge, they will stand firm. If they are in the heart of a hostile country, they will show a stubborn front. If there is no help for it, they will fight hard. Thus, without waiting to be marshaled, the soldiers will be constantly on the alert, and without waiting to be asked, they will do your will; without restrictions, they will be faithful; without giving orders, they can be trusted.

I have little doubt the hate the world holds towards Americans is justified; but the Americans responsible for the chaos are the large minority of WEF sycophants, democrat morons, deviant reprobates and the 1% elite overlords. The large majority of Americans hate the deep state and government lobbies more than the rest of the globe does and by a long shot. If the vermin would show their faces in public, they wouldn’t survive long.
11 days agoThat disingenuous double-speaking hypocritical lar ,Joe Biden had this week said that “America’s support for Israel is iron clad.” Then Biden attempts in impose sanctions against the Israel Defense Force, all the while he strives to have sanctions lifted from that Hostile Islamic regime of Iran which even viciously launch deadly missiles and drones into Israel starting on April 14. 2024.
Before those most recent attacks by Iran, that brutal cruel and murderous jihad entity , Hamas, which is funded and supplied with weapons by Iran had invaded the State of Israel on October 7.2023.
At this current time, that villain, Biden, wants sanctions against the much needed IDF. Therefore, it’s no wonder that Benjamin Franklin Netanyahu declared those US sanctions against the IDF an “absurdity” and a “moral low.”
Furthermore, the IDF is very much needed and necessary. Prime Minister Benjamin was not only right, for he also spoke the sensible thing to do when he declared, “No force in the world will stop us from elimination Hamas.”
For Hamas is a dangerous and deadly plague for all Jewish people and the State of Israel and as some people don’t seem to realize that vicious and vile jihad entity also dangerous to America and all the other Western countries.
Furthermore, Hamas hates the Jewish people with a spiteful passion, which also carries over to the same detestable and deadly malice for Christians. As is the saying in the Middle East among jihad-minded Muslims, it’s “First comes Saturday then comes Sunday” Meaning “First kill all the Jews and then kill all the Christians.”
To think about it , the many Muslims propagandists who live in the United States keep telling the Americans as well as other Westerner that “Islam respects Jews and Christians as “People of the Book. “ Those words ,of course, mean the Bible.
In reality ,many Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere engage in severs persecution Christians and Jews Therefore , those words spoken by the Muslim apologists for Islam are disingenuous and empty words.
The persecution of who aren’t officially “People of the book” would be horrendously cruel and murderous. towards Hindus and Buddhists as well as people of other religions who Muslim view a “pagan.”
11 days agoThat fiendish villain Joe Biden, had ,indeed, totally abandoned Israel , likewise he betrayed her. Biden even has the diabolical gall to attempt to impose sanctions on the Israel Defense Force all the while he’s providing that aggressive Israel and America hating hostile Islamic regime of Iran, which supports Hamas, with billions of dollars and then he wants to send Iran even more money Before this betrayal of the State of Israel and the United States ,Biden allowed that Islamic tyranny that to obtain billons of dollars . How terribly wicked of Biden .For that belligerent ”mullah regime” of Iran calls Israel “The little Satan and the US “The great Satan.”
We may be sure that either in a direct way or an indirect way will use that money to advance its nuclear weapons program and further its stooge terror/murder jihad organizations which are Hamas, Hezbollah , Islamic Jihad.
Some Westerners might find in a bit interesting that Ayatollah Khamenei as well as the other ayatollahs and mullahs who have so much terrible power in Iran , don’t ever engage in any shootings and bombings , they just have their useful idiots who are the Muslim terrorists those three horrendous jihad entities to the dirty work of murdering of people for them as their tools.
Some of that vast amount of money Biden those in power in Iran to obtain will , without doubt , also be given in support to further found Hamas and also Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.
Truly, Joe Biden is a treacherous scoundrel.
