I mean I'd argue our policy is pretty bipolar. The US champions human rights except when it doesn't. We topple governments and organize coups, invade other countries, and are the biggest arms dealer in the world.Another State Dept official resigns over Biden's Gaza policy...
"For the past year, I worked for the office devoted to promoting human rights in the Middle East. I believe strongly in the mission and in the important work of that office. However, as a representative of a government that is directly enabling what the International Court of Justice has said could plausibly be a genocide in Gaza, such work has become almost impossible. Unable to serve an administration that enables such atrocities, I have decided to resign from my position at the Department of State.
Whatever credibility the United States had as an advocate for human rights has almost entirely vanished since the war began..."
Tbh, I dont think "a huge chunk of the US electorate blindly supports Israel" to the point it would sway their vote in a presidential election. Unless they were Christian Zionists who believe in biblical prophecy or committed Zionists who care more about Israel than their own country, ie, Ben Shapiro and his ilk.I think the muted response from the administration is due to the unfortunate political reality of a huge chunk of the US electorate blindly supports Israel. Biden putting too much pressure on Israel now is almost assuredly going to cost votes - meaningful ones too.
The name Netanyahu will be synonymous with Hitler in 10 years or less.

To be fair, that only makes us as guilty as the countries supplying Russia. Which is a great number.the arms lobbies and the Israeli lobbies are fucking evil, and Biden looks helpless. I mean you can't be against an ethnic cleansing but then supplying the murderous genocidal maniacs.
Fuck you Biden.
I find the use of the word ‘fair’ instead of say, ‘equally applicable’ to two hideous facts imparts the sense you are attempting to minimize how wrong both are.To be fair, that only makes us as guilty as the countries supplying Russia. Which is a great number.

The cruelty is the point

The Jewish vote has traditionally been liberal and overwhelmingly Dem voting over decades. Only a minority of them see Israel as a top issue that would sway their vote.Indeed this is a pretty awful look. Biden is screwed--lose the Jewish vote, or lose a bunch of other votes. If Trump is smart he'll say nothing at all and let Biden have fun in this damn no-win situation.

A few minutes later, the three cars of the aid organization left the warehouse, without the truck on which the gunman was allegedly identified. According to the security sources, that person did not leave the premises of the warehouse. The cars moved on a route approved in advance by the IDF, and their journey was also coordinated with the army. At one point, while the convoy was traveling on the approved route, the HML of the unit responsible for securing the traffic route ordered the UAV operators to attack one of the vehicles with a missile.
Some of the passengers were seen getting out of the car after the missile hit and moving to one of the other two. They continued their journey and even informed those responsible for them that they had been attacked, but seconds later another missile hit their vehicle. The third car in the convoy approached them, and the passengers began to transfer into it wounded people who survived the second attack - in order to keep them away from any danger. But then a third missile was fired that hit them. All seven of the organization's volunteers were killed in the attack.
