Fake behind-the-scenes maneuvering, supposed electoral necessity: all cover to avoid the unseemly fact that Biden simply supports genocide in Gaza because he thinks it’s justified.

    Biden has literally no alibi for the UNSC vetoes or objecting to the ICC verdict and the merit of the ICJ case. No alibi for suppressing US aid agency evidence of deliberate starvation of civilians. Democrats have no alibi for passing legislation banning funding to UNRWA among other bills underwriting pretty apparent war crimes. They have zero alibis for striking down bills aimed at halting Israel’s slaughter, domicide and settlements. The attitude in DC is that Israel needs to get it over with and make sure it is permanent. They view the West Bank and Gaza as unruly parts of a Jewish empire - Israel needs to pacify and integrate them on its own terms.
