National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby was also clear, telling reporters on Monday that the US abstention from the cease-fire vote did not represent a change in the administration’s stance toward its ally. ā€œNothing, nothing has changed about our policy. Nothing,ā€ KirbyĀ said. He’s right.

    I feel like Biden and his campaign operatives are slow walking this because they’re either:

    a) afraid of having the right label ā€œstopping genocideā€ as ā€œsupporting hamas and terrorism.ā€ They’ve already started doing that in response to Schumerā€˜s recent speech.

    Or

    b) Even though most Americans now don’t support Israel’s actions in Gaza, they’re afraid that totally withholding support to Israel is still not polling at the numbers they need.
