President Joe Biden says he will not supply offensive weapons that Israel can use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah — the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza — over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there.

          you said:

          This had nothing to do with the protests.

          Where is the proof. Provide it.

          I asked first…

          Would you like protests to stop?

      Biden’s actions are pretty clearly NOT a reaction to the protests.

      We know this because the protests have been going on for a while now and Biden took no action whatsoever.

      It DOES immediately follow THIS news, and my suspicion is this is what caused the change in policy.

      March 27th - Israel uses US supplied bombs to illegally attack Southern Lebanon, killing seven aid workers:

      https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/07/israel-us-arms-used-strike-killed-lebanon-aid-workers

      April 2nd, Biden reportedly “outraged” over the attack that killed seven members of World Central Kitchen.

      https://www.reuters.com/world/white-house-outraged-by-israeli-airstrike-that-killed-aid-workers-gaza-2024-04-02/

      Now he’s saying no, we aren’t giving you weapons for Rafa. The last thing he wants is more dead civilians with US supplied bombs.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
