The Biden Administration's Contribution to the October 7 Massacre
That Slow Joe's administration created the basis for aggression by Hamas and Hezb'allah should come as a surprise to no one.

Did you imagine for a moment that the notion that the most openly diverse, democratic country in the Middle East, which goes to unheard-of lengths to protect citizens in enemy territory, was an "apartheid, genocider” sprung up spontaneously? That this defamation arose all on its own through large grassroots movements? Of course, this is not how so many libels against Israel took root.
In an extensively documented report, the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives found that the Biden Administration sent funds to NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that used them to destabilize the Israeli government and fund anti-American and anti-Israeli activities here. These efforts, unsurprisingly, have generated a wave of anti-semitism in the U.S. and have certainly encouraged Hamas’ belief that the Netanyahu government was weakened enough that it could conduct the barbaric actions of October 7 without being stopped or being subject to an appropriate military response. The Committee Report details that these movements were never organic. They were well-funded, mostly by U.S. taxpayers. They did not spring up spontaneously. You and I paid for this through the underhanded, vile Biden administration. Everything was financed by the U.S. government funneling cash through tax-exempt, underregulated organizations.
The report is lengthy. To fully understand the context of the Biden actions, here’s a brief history. A substantial thorn in the side of many Israelis is the power of their largely self-selected Supreme Court. Without an executive and legislative role in seating the Court, nor a written constitution to circumscribe its jurisdiction, that Court (reliably left-wing) has gone so far as to strike down laws and appointments on vague grounds of “reasonableness.” Those who think the role of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) has been superseded by the Court (the Israel Right) wanted the Knesset to have the power to override the Court and change the method by which the Court’s judges were selected. In July 2023, the government of Israel passed one part of the reform package -- it limited the reasonableness doctrine. Mass protests prevented further reform, mass protests that the committee found were funded by the Biden Administration. The October 7 attack by Hamas followed, and efforts at further judicial reform remain stalled.
The money for the anti-Netanyahu protests and terrorist groups was funneled through USAID, the State Department, the Department of Defense, and other federal agencies. The committee notes, ”There is evidence that U.S. nonprofits may be violating 501(c)(3) provisions of U.S. law by funding radical anti-Israel groups and protests against the Israeli government.”
Here are some of the organizations singled out in the Committee report:
Abraham Initiatives
This outfit received $2.05 million from the U.S. It “created propaganda to support the protests and used social media groups to update people ‘on all things related to the protest movement against the regime coup.’” The money it received was from USAID and the Department of State. The USAID Inspector General’s Office issued an “advisory notice regarding the ‘challenges and vulnerabilities that exist’ within the agency’s monitoring capabilities and warned that “these challenges persisted after the Biden-Harris Administration’s ‘Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act,” which granted another billion dollars “for additional humanitarian aid in Gaza.”
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and the Tides Foundation
These U.S. tax-exempt organizations “provided over $5 million to groups that funded anti-Israel protests in the U.S. and Israel, and supported multiple terrorist-linked NGOs.”
“[T]he Jewish Communal Fund [JCF], and its grantees, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA) and PEF [Peace and Education Foundation] Israel Endowment Funds may have violated their tax-exempt status by funding groups engaged in radical anti-government campaigns in Israel.”
RPA received millions of dollars from USAID, the State Department, and the Department of Defense. PEF received $41.2 million from JCF, which it used to fund radical protest groups.
Together, the two Rockefeller outfits donated millions to leftist anti-Israel groups, including the Tides Network, and Tides donated some funds to a “U.S. nonprofit with ‘zero [funding] transparency’ that ‘promotes a narrative of sole Israeli aggression.”
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund “provided nearly $4 million to radical, anti-Israel groups, including some with ties to terrorist organizations.” While it was funding anti-Israel protests and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and terrorist-linked NGOs, it also received more than $50 million from USAID and the State Department.
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund provided almost a half-million dollars to the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace, a group so foul that it blames the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on “Israeli apartheid occupation -- and United States complicity in that oppression as the source of all this violence.”
As well, this fund gave a grant to six entities that the Israel Ministry of Defense designates as “terror organizations.”
From 2016 to 2022, USAID granted $30 million to the Tides Network, which certified that “it had not provided and would not provide ‘material support or resources’ to any individual or entity associated with committing terrorist acts in any context within the past ten years.” To the contrary, however, the committee found that the Tides Foundation (part of the Tides Network) “provided significant funding to anti-Israel groups with ties to terrorist organizations.”
Yet another Tides entity, the Tides Center, provided over $1 million since 2019 to radical anti-Israel protest groups.
The interference with Israeli politics has been patent enough to allow substantial documentation. It’s my own view that we will soon see more evidence of election interference here and in places like Brazil, where more subtle, hard-to-uncover machinations took place under Biden and his cohorts.
On “the edge of an historic victory” in Iran
In a most thoughtful post, Newt Gingrich said he was convinced we are on “the edge of historic victory” as a result of the “historic coalition” President Trump formed.
After spending this week reviewing the Iranian war I am now convinced President Trump is on the edge of an historic victory. The real breakthrough for me came as I reviewed President Trump’s decisions and maneuvers not from the standpoint of American unilateralism but from the standpoint of the leader of a remarkable historic coalition, the largest coalition ever put together in the modern Middle East. Everyone understands that Israel is an important ally. What is little discussed is the depth of support from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region. It has to be sobering for the Iranian dictatorship to realize that it does not have a single ally willing to challenge the American naval blockade. Slowly, gradually, timidly, our European allies are lining up to help with the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. A great deal of President Trump’s maneuvers against Iran make sense once he is seen as a coalition leader and not just as a unilateral American President. I spent a lot of the last couple weeks reviewing kinetic options including winning the battle of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and if necessary using the shocking and shattering level of force President Nixon and Secretary Kissinger used against Hanoi and Haiphong in Christmas 1972 (which both leaders believed convinced the North Vietnamese to agree to a truce and the freeing of American POWs). If this were a unilateral American campaign I could enthusiastically support a more aggressive kinetic campaign. However it is also clear it would shatter the coalition because our Arab allies are convinced Iran could still do enormous damage to their oil fields and infrastructure. Coalitions are inherently slower than unilateral campaigns. However coalitions ultimately bring vastly more power to the fight. I am as frustrated as everyone else by the pace of talking with the dictatorship but having reviewed the correlation of forces and the options available to the coalition on one side and the Iranian religiously motivated dictatorship on the other I am prepared to assert that President Trump’s coalition leadership (something almost none of his critics want to acknowledge) is within reach of an enormous historic victory. And if the Iranian dictatorship ultimately proves it is hopelessly committed to a suicidal position there will be plenty of time for a kinetic campaign of enormous power and effectiveness. Either way we are on the edge of an astonishing victory for our values and for a safer Middle East.
I think he’s right, and, if so, the President managed this victory despite the many millions Obama and Biden pumped into Iran and into those NGOs which wanted a weakened Israel, a hogtied U.S., and a diminution of U.S. support for Israel, with the measurable increase in anti-semitism being just a perfectly foreseeable bonus to them.
