(The Center Square) – The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hamas killed hundreds of Israelis and injured hundreds more in a barrage of surprise attacks early Saturday morning, just weeks after the Biden administration authorized $6 billion to the group’s biggest backer: Iran.
The Hamas attack included a combination of thousands of missiles fired into Israel as well as Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Israel, killing and capturing civilians, according to reports from multiple news outlets and relevant governments.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanani praised Hamas after the attack.
Immediately after the attacks, President Joe Biden took fire for releasing billions of dollars to Iran, a known backer of Hamas that funnels money to the terrorist group.
“Just weeks ago, the Biden administration handed over $6 billion to Iran, and today, innocent Israelis were murdered by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said in a statement after the attacks. “We must continue to support our strongest ally in the Middle East and their right to defend themselves against these unprovoked, horrific attacks. I stand with Israel and join many around the world in praying for the safety and security of its people.”
The Biden administration told Congress last month it released the billions of dollars that had been held up by U.S. sanctions as well as releasing five Iranian nationals detained in the U.S. in exchange for the release of five Americans detained in Iran.
“Biden’s decision to release $6 billion in frozen assets to Iran serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that took place following the Iran Nuclear Agreement under the Obama/Biden administration,” Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This pattern is clear: each time funds are released to Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism, proxy militias in the region persistently launch attacks, aiming to destabilize and target Western allies and Americans.
“Examining the precision and coordination of the recent attack, it’s highly plausible that the recent $6 billion, in addition to the many more billions made available to Iran after Biden lifted sanctions, provided the necessary funding to execute this assault,” Mills added.
U.S. Treasury Under Secretary Brian Nelson said on X that the funds that were part of the September deal had not yet been spent and were reserved for humanitarian purposes only. Critics quickly pointed out that the money is fungible, and Iran’s knowledge of the coming money could have impacted how it spent other funds not under the U.S.’ watch.
“All of the money held in restricted accounts in Doha as part of the arrangement to secure the release of 5 Americans in September remains in Doha,” he said. “Not a penny has been spent.”
President Joe Biden addressed the attacks before reporters on Saturday.
“You know, when I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu this morning, I told him the United States stands with the people of Israel in the face of this terrorist assaults,” Biden said. “Israel has the right to defend itself and its people. Full stop. There is never justification for terrorist acts. And my administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.”
Just like the Barack Obama’s $1.7-billion payment to Iran was all in cash. “Biden’s decision to release $6 billion in frozen assets to Iran serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that took place following the Iran Nuclear Agreement under the Obama/Biden administration,” Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This pattern is clear: each time funds are released to Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism, proxy militias in the region persistently launch attacks, aiming to destabilize and target Western allies and Americans.
AND didn’t we see an attack BY HAMAS and // or Hezbolla, on israel, AFTER OBAMA GAVE iran that dosh??

As former democrat, Communist, President, Barack H. Obama said,” Never Underestimate Joe Biden’s Ability to FUCX Things Up.”
“Just weeks ago, the Biden administration handed over $6 billion to Iran, and today, innocent Israelis were murdered by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said in a statement after the attacks.

Liberal American Jews take note…. YOU are on the wrong side of history.
The Biden administration SHOULD see that the Iranian $6 Billion is used for humanitarian purposes,,,,,,to reimburse the Israelis for war damages and rebuild in Israel that which could have been used by Iran to build to the benefit of the Hamas Palestinians, but was blown up in bombs, bullets, rapes and beheadings. Just maybe then Joe could force the Iranian leaders to do in humanitarian aid what would rise the image of the Iranian people throughout the world,,,,but apparently 10% kickack of $6 billion is too much for the Biden Crime family and the Democrat party of American subversion to pass on. No doubt the $80 billion in American arms Joe left to the terorrists in Afghanistan have been rerouted by the Iranians into the hands of Hamas and Hezbolla. Believing that any amount of cash will stop the pathilogical killers from using it for evil purposes is about as believeable of joe Stating he knew nothing of Hunter’s business deals that enriched Joe and paid his bills and living expenses so he could just bank his legal government paycheck for years. Joe Biden,,,American traitor to his gender, traitor to his race, traitor to his church and worst of all traitor to his country and a major financer of Terrorism,,,,done with redistributed American taxpayer’s money.
