The situation is that all of Israel’s weapons and their entire economy is funded by the US taxpayer.
Therefore, logically, the United States necessarily “allows” Israel to do anything they are doing with United States money.
Of course, that is not the actual reality. In fact, because of the stranglehold that the Jews have on the United States, no one in the US government has any ability at all to regulate or restrict the actions of Israel.
It’s nice to have Biden admit this after earlier this week pretending that his views matter.
Joe Biden has said that his administration has been “discussing” possible Israeli plans to attack Iran’s oil industry in retaliation for the Iranian ballistic missile attack on Tuesday.Biden’s off-the-cuff remark did not make clear whether his administration was holding internal discussions or talking directly to Israel, nor did he clarify what his attitude was to such an attack.
“First of all, we don’t ‘allow’ Israel, we advise Israel,” he told reporters outside the White House on Thursday. “And there is nothing going to happen today.”
There we go.
Nonetheless, at a time of high tension across the Middle East, the comment triggered a spike in global oil prices, with potentially damaging effects on his vice-president Kamala Harris’s campaign for the presidential election just over a month away.…
Iran has informed Washington that a large-scale Israeli strike will lead in turn to Iranian attacks on Israeli infrastructure. Tehran also warned any other country assisting an Israeli attack would also make itself an Iranian target.
In a statement issued by Iran’s mission at the UN in New York, Iran said: “Should any country render assistance to the aggressor, it shall likewise be deemed an accomplice and a legitimate target.”
The warnings came as the Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, sought assurances from Gulf leaders at a summit in Doha that they would remain neutral in the event of any joint Israeli-US attack in Iran.
The Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, said: “We intend to close the book on disagreements with Iran forever and develop relations between us like two friends.”His remarks underlined recent Saudi assurances that there will be no normalisation agreement between Riyadh and Israel without Israel’s agreement to the establishment of a Palestinian state.
It’s really burying the lede here to include that statement from the Saudis, which is a much bigger news story. After the Chinese intervention and peace negotiations between Saudi and Iran, this sort of thing has been developing, but the fact that the Jews’ actions have triggered what looks to be an emerging alliance between the two countries is almost unbelievable.
Oil prices spike after Biden’s comments on possible Israel attack on Iran.
