And whatever sick, deluded visions of heroism Hamas' leaders and the thugs who carried out this latest outrage may have of themselves, they're catspaws and proxies, expendable proxies, of the haters in Tehran.

And then Faux has to correct the record for maggots, their own channel, the GQP US Taliban Party and some right here in the USA, who are now blaming Pres. Biden for being weak on Iran

Putin, Iran, tRump and Bibi love this.

Iranians have not seen the $6B of unfrozen money yet

FOX News’ Jennifer Griffin tells ‘FOX News Live’ that linking Biden’s Iranian deal, where the U.S. unfroze $6 billion, to the attacks on Israel Saturday is ‘incorrect’ and ‘misleading.’


Hamas attack on Israel thrusts Biden into Mideast crisis and has him fending off GOP criticism.


Dems/the White House better get a hold on this shit, and scream it fron the roof tops that the money is still frozen and has not moved into the hands of Iran, which means somebody ELSE funded the bloody attack by Hamas in Israeli citizens. The so-called liberal media won't really try to clear this shit up.


Several 2024 Republican presidential contenders immediately tried to pin a portion of the blame on Biden. They sought to tie his recent decision to release $6 billion in blocked Iranian funds in exchange for freeing five Americans who had been detained in Iran to Saturday’s complex attack by air, land and sea. The White House pushed back fiercely against the GOP criticism, noting that the money unfrozen last month in the prisoner swap has yet to be spent by Iran and can only be used for humanitarian needs.
