The right decision. Morally, legally, and strategically.

This is a pretty big deal, I can’t remember the US ever saying “*no*” to Israel on just about anything, let alone giving them weapons.

Don’t you dare invade Rafah, Israel. Just continue to bomb them from afar.

Unfortunately people who want this will think it’s too little too late and people who fully support Israel will now turn on Biden.

A lot of criticism is lobbied against Biden, especially by younger voters, for his actions in dealing with this issue but honestly I think he has made the right calls time and time again.
He honored our alliance to Israel without being totally beholden to their will. He has ordered an aid port to be set up against their wishes, and now he is drawing a hard line in the sand regarding our continued support.
I can’t think of any president in my lifetime that has ever drawn a line like this, but I can think of a lot who would not dare to do so. I feel like Biden is navigating this very well but once again he likely won’t get the praise he deserves here.

If he holds to this it will make a huge difference. I’m cautiously optimistic.
Well they invaded Rafah yesterday, so let’s see if he actually does anything he’s said he’ll do this time.

In terms of Palestinian, I feel like Biden is no worse than Trump so far. It’s sad that Biden will most likely lose the Muslim vote. Him and Trump are practically the same, neither did anything to stop the genocide.
I will unfortunately vote for Biden, but it shouldn’t be this difficult.

Israel has been careless with US provided weapons. They should be cut off.

Let’s see if this red line lasts…
Haven’t they already invaded Rafah?

How will the AIPAC punish Biden for this?
Israel is 100% going to call his bluff. I hope Biden can stand strong on this.
We’ll see
I’ll believe that when I see it.
r/Worldnews is going to mad over this sensible decision.
Edit: Lol

Only defensive missiles and bombs, then?
