Biden pretends to push back but he never has actually pulled the trigger on any actual pushback.
So we were talking about Harris. Anyways, “pulled the trigger on any actual pushback” is a bit ambiguous - for example, some would argue that withholding 2,000 pound bombs while resuming 500 pound bomb deliveries (as per the above articles) is exactly that kind of pushback, while otherwise would say it’s a meaningless gesture.
And a pause – essentially a delay in shipping, Same as your amazon package getting delayed. Even if it was true and not made up, its is a meangless performative gesture at best.
Well, not quite the same as having an amazon package getting delayed. With amazon, you can get refunded (and then buy the same item from another vendor, say in person in a storefront) or have another of the same item reshipped to you (in the hopes of getting back faster). In either case it’d likely be resolved long before hitting five months.
In this case, there’s likely no other vendor to turn to for 2,000lb bombs. And there’s no question of reshipping or anything. So here we are five months later, with the pause fully in place.
Biden has used exactly zero of his levers to move toward peace, and 100 percent of his levers to encourage the expansion and impunity of a bloodthirsty genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Hmm…
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned their Israeli counterparts in a letter dated Sunday that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid being allowed into Gaza within the next 30 days or Israel could risk losing access to U.S. weapons funding.
Harris … called for Palestinian “freedom and self-determination”.
If this “will continue the same course that he has charted” then yes she will.
Fair to ask Harris to go further.
But again, she’s not a sock puppet and has already distinguished herself on this topic from Biden.
