(The Center Square) – There were 736 known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) apprehended at the northern and southern borders in fiscal 2023.
Uh, yeah, the problem with that argument is that "known or suspected" is "anyone named Mohammed".
How many ACTUAL terrorists did they catch, not just guys with vaguely Arab names?
Yeah, everyone except your President knows Iran has a hand in all of this. Maybe you should fill him and his administration in. Of course it could be they know it as well, but can't very well come out and say it after kowtowing to them for so long. Have you figured it out yet that they are really not pro-Israel, but are just playing the part?
As long as we are discussing who had a hand in this. let's look at Bibi Netanyahu.
He's the one who allowed FIVE BILLION dollars to be transferred from Qatar to Gaza.
The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group.
The idea was to prevent Abbas — or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government — from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Meanwhile, Israel has allowed suitcases holding millions in Qatari cash to enter Gaza through its crossings since 2018, in order to maintain its fragile ceasefire with the Hamas rulers of the Strip.
Most of the time, Israeli policy was to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and Hamas as an asset. Far-right MK Bezalel Smotrich, now the finance minister in the hardline government and leader of the Religious Zionism party, said so himself in 2015.
According to various reports, Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.
As to why Hamas attacked, I think Iran enticed them to do so in hopes of a larger conflict. This administration has essentially funded Iran and terrorists around the world with bad "deals" and the Afghanistan debacle. Despite what senile Joe says, we are not able to simultaneously fight/fund wars all over the world. Wait for China to attack Taiwan next. This is what happens when you elect a melted marshmallow for President of the US.
Some points here.
1) Returning Iran's money (which they are legally entitled to) isn't funding them.
2) Iran has a GDP of a quarter Trillion a year. They have no problem funding whatever they want.
3) We can also talk about how Trump turned a blind eye when Iran essentially took over Iraq and Syria because they were willing to put the boots on the Ground to fight ISIS.
4) The Afghanistan "Debacle" happened because Trump withdrew most of the troops from Afghanistan and freed 5000 Taliban fighters as part of the Doha accords. (As I note, Doha wasn't bad in and of itself, but man, did Trump run away from it when it went to where everyone predicted it would go.)
5) China isn't going to attack Taiwan. They have every right to, mind you, because Taiwan is legally part of China. But they know that the status quo is more beneficial to them, as Taiwan provides financing and access to markets.
