Time and again he has repeated their propaganda, even when our own intelligence agencies said Israel was lying. He always talks about a ceasefire, but every time Netanyahu moves the goalposts at the last minute, (usually by adding Hamas’ known deal breaker that IDF troops would remain afterwards), Biden blames Hamas. Biden and Blinken have ignored evidence of war crimes from their own agencies that disqualify Israel for military aid. Now he’s surged troops into the region, and he isn’t using them to evacuate the 6,000 Americans who have asked for help leaving Lebanon.
Where does it stop? We think it has to just based on rationality but we made that mistake with Bush. We thought that a clear trial of the facts in Congress would either give him the moral authority to conduct the war or shut it all down and he just ignored that part of the AUMF. Like Biden has just ignored any evidence against Israel, even regarding the ICC. So I ask again, where does this train stop? What evidence do we have that he’s working to restrain Netanyahu and prevent a wider war being kicked off by the obvious belligerent?
It’s pretty clear he’s not willing to actually punish them for anything. Sending ordinary American troops into a ground war for them is another thing entirely, though. Nobody’s forgotten how the last ones went, and American democracy is already teetering on the brink.

And, y’know, that’s not a ceasefire. Just thought I’d point that out.
