LarkinDePark,

Too little, too late.

ski11erboi,

Too late for thousands but in time for hundreds of thousands more.

LarkinDePark,

Yeah that brief pause achieved nothing except to give his genocide complicit supporters an excuse to continue to make excuses for him.

Plot twist: the bombs were intended for use in Rafah and Biden feared they only might be.

No way they were using all those weapons for genocide??!!!?!

lmao as if he’s just now realizing this, sure thing.

“Why won’t he do anything to stop the bombing?”

stops bomb shipment

“Dumb dumb didn’t know bombs are for bombing? Yeah right!”

Like what even is your comment trying to say?

That Biden still carries water for Israel despite recognizing they misuse the weapons we give them

BolexForSoup,

Ok so he should just let these through? And why are you responding as if anyone acted like the intended use of these bombs is a revelation?

No one here is saying this absolves him/us of the US’s role in Israel’s horrific actions. But there are protests happening, people are saying this needs to stop, and a shipment of bombs just stopped. That happened, and it’s worth noting. So we need to keep up the pressure to get this to stop entirely.

We both know he’s not going to just unilaterally end this horror show today.

And the millions of weapons prior to the some 3.5 thousand bombs weren’t?

So he should just go ahead and let the shipment happen…?

catsarebadpeople,

Pointing out the hypocrisy on .ml is not allowed on .ml you fool

Lath,

Definitely would. The more accomplices, the better.

thesporkeffect,

Oh come on. This is pretty limp wristed narrative bait. There was one shipment out of many that maybe got held up, temporarily, potentially by accident, that’s not the firm moral opposition to a genocide that we seem to think it is

Melkath,

Smacks of "I am placing sanctions on Israel" Places sanctions on 3 men

Means tested genocide!

lemmyseizethemeans,

This particular comment sings to me

rayyy,

Biden has been slow-walking arms to Israel for a while but there are forces that want to use Netanyahu’s actions against him as if Biden has control of him.

frankgrimeszz,

… Was there shipments to Israel before last week?

Pilgrim,

At least its a slight movement in the right direction, but until the flow is cut off entirely we need to hold his feet to the fire.

This is a just a show to appease college protesters and online discourse

Practically nothing changed and I bet Israel still got some back channel delivery.

The regime will not budge on this and it is telling seeing GOP using their political capital on a foreign ticking country... At least mouth breezed can be proud they own the libs haha

admiralteal,

And this right here is the greatest obstacle to long-term change in the current administration's policies on Palestine - because instead of taking a win, the left shouts "look at this bitch eating crackers!" Not to mention your sprinkle of conspiratorial thinking here.

It's clear to anyone who follows the issue but the Biden administration has been moving further and further from Bibi. Not fast enough, but the protests and campaigns are working. The right wing is clearly terrified of them - look at how overwhelmingly they feel a need to put negative coverage on it. But the actual Gaza supporters are the ones shouting loudest that it's a waste of time?? A self-fulfilling prophecy.

Politically it's no-win. Morally it's also no-win; things will be worse for Gaza with Trump in the White House. But people like you are here to tell their allies to give up. Cool.

I’m sorry but your finger wagging is telling.

Biden is holding back some delivery of weapons less than a month after he bipassed congress to give Israel two payments of 17 billion dollars?

Are you smoking crack?

This is political theatre at best. We’ve already caught Biden lying multiple times on this issue.

And please get your head out of your ass. I don’t care if Trump is worse. What the actual fuck is worse than genocide.

Do you realize how pathetic you make democrats look?

Edit (thread is locked I guess)

Considering Biden has received more aipac money as a senator throughout his career than any other politician in office?

Yes, he will absolutely not change a damn thing.

admiralteal,

And you interpret that clear change in stance to to mean no change can nor will happen.
