Brandon is not going to cut the Jewish weapons. It’s never going to happen.

He’s just facing huge amounts of pressure from all of his own people to pretend like he would do that. But he’s not given any red lines. He started out, in October, saying that it would be impossible for there to be any red lines.

If he was going to cut the aid, he would give a red line. The obvious red line would be a full-scale assault on Rafah. He could also put a number on acceptable civilian casualties. Instead, he claims that he told Bibi “I might do it.” That’s not the way these things work.

President Joe Biden threatened on Thursday to condition support for Israel’s offensive in Gaza on it taking concrete steps to protect aid workers and civilians, seeking for the first time to leverage U.S. aid to influence Israeli military behavior.

Biden’s warning, relayed in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, followed a deadly Israeli attack on World Central Kitchen aid workers that spurred new calls from Biden’s fellow Democrats to place conditions on U.S. aid to Israel. Israel said the attack was a mistake.

The U.S. president, a lifelong supporter of Israel, has resisted pressure to withhold aid or halt the shipment of weapons to the country. His warning marked the first time he has threatened to potentially condition aid, a development that could change the dynamic of the nearly six-month-old war.

Biden “made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,” the White House said of the leaders’ phone call. It said the call lasted about 30 minutes.

The president “made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps,” the White House said in a statement.

Washington is Israel’s top weapons supplier and the Biden administration has mostly provided a diplomatic shield for it at the United Nations.

Asked about possible changes in U.S. policy, Netanyahu spokesperson Tal Heinrich told Fox News: “I think it’s something that Washington will have to explain”.

They’re not going to explain it. That is the whole point: it’s vague. And it is meant to help the Jews, by giving them cover. It creates confusion, on purpose, so that Biden can continue sending weapons while claiming he might not do it forever.

This is a big news story, for obvious reasons. The media wants to support Biden, but the media itself is having a very hard time defending this situation, where Biden says he is against this slaughter of innocent people by the Jews – the worst massacre in recorded human history (unless you believe in the Holohoax, lol) – and then also says that there is no point at which he will stop sending weapons.
