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.
That this is a best a PR stunt and at worst an outright lie. This one shipment isn't going to do anything to curtail Israel's behavior and the shipment will eventually be delivered anyway.
More plausibly, US has now run through its stocks of weapons sending them to Ukraine, and doesn't have the weapons to send. Framing it as refusing to send the weapons because US all of a sudden developed a conscience is a way to avoid admitting this.
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
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.
