Despite the pause, the Israeli military has enough weapons supplied by the U.S. and other partners to conduct the Rafah operation if it chooses to cast aside U.S. objections, the first official said.
He added that none of the pauses apply to the billions of dollars in additional israel aid passed by Congress last month. With regards to that, the Biden administration just approved $827 million worth of weapons and equipment for Israel in the latest tranche of Foreign Military Financing, the official said.
We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently… But it’s, it’s just wrong. We’re not going to – we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells
If Joe “I’m a Zionist” Biden is dropping public statements like that whist icing out aid, there’s so, SO much more that isn’t being said. Like that report Blinken was meant to release today, but got delayed…
Supposedly they still have several months worth of munitions. Which should be more than sufficient if this is (as they claim it is) the final push. The fact that they're upset at even a delay in the weapons shows where their real intentions lie.
Oh look, the thing we said Biden should’ve done from day one is effective. I’m sure all the ‘serious’ people that said you can’t just condition aid to Israel will apologise for being wrong and allowing for the murder of 20000 children.
Hey, I was one of those people, and I paid attention to polls. Israel has squandered a lot of good will, but Biden has to be very, very careful here because there’s still a lot of zionist democrats.
And he is being careful.
But as Israel does more genocidal things, they’ll lose more support, and Biden will be able to ramp up the pressure on them.
All we’ve been saying, this whole time, is that Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected. Not what’s righteous. What’s practical.
If you read that again, you will find it says “consistently.”
IDK what to tell you if you don’t think Muslim bans, wanting Israel to finish the job, and threatening to nuke Iran over twitter isn’t going to exacerbate the situation. Good luck under the next admin, I guess, you’ll sure have shown me.
22% of Democrats, 35% of Independents, and 58% of Republicans believe Israel is not committing genocide according to the newest poll linked above. It’s definitely mostly Republicans.

Your post gives me “evil Jews and Zionists run the world” vibes. Does he really have to bow to Zionists to win an election or else?
He doesn’t have to bow to them, he just has to consider their wishes if he wants their vote, same as those who think Israel is run by genocidal maniacs.
That would mean Biden has to compromise with genocidal maniacs without supporting genocide anymore… how does one do that? Yeah, what a pickle he is in.
Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected.
Up to and including supplying weapons and funding for a genocide? This position is morally reprehensible. I’m sympathetic to the argument that people should still vote for Biden for harm reduction, but suggesting Biden’s support for Israel’s genocide is justified because it helps him get elected is way over the line.
