Biden Mourns Israeli Deaths Monday, Approves Cluster Bombs Tuesday
While Al Jazeera correctly identifies the futility of Israel's current strategy in Gaza, the question remains: why does the US continue to enable it? President Biden regularly issues statements of 'concern' over civilian casualties, yet his administration simultaneously approves massive arms transfers to Israel. For instance, just weeks after expressing sorrow for Gazan deaths, the administration
reportedly greenlit an arms sale that included 2,000-pound bombs—the very same munitions devastating civilian infrastructure as reported by the Washington Post . This isn't just cognitive dissonance; it's a policy choice. This 'plan' isn't failing despite US support; it's failing *because* the US is propping up a fundamentally unsustainable and inhumane approach, allowing Israel to continue its
56-year occupation with impunity. The consistent pattern demonstrates that official 'concern' is merely rhetorical dressing for uninterrupted military aid. One might wonder, how many civilian 'tragedies' does it take for a policy shift, or are 'tragically unavoidable' deaths just line items in an endless budget?
