    “Stop strangling Gaza so tightly, or else we’ll support you a bit less.”

    It’s something, but it ain’t much.

      We’ll support you a bit less … after our elections are over and we can support you without any domestic consequence.

      Remember the airdrops and logistics piers that the Biden admit spent months touting as the US’s solution to the humanitarian crises, and we just need to give them time to be implemented. Then, when they didn’t work (as anyone who was paying attention knew would happen, because they were fundamentally stupid ideas from the start), the admin quietly rolled them back without much fanfare.

      This is at least slightly better in that it is in principle and actually good idea. But the Biden admin has no credibility for actually following through. The state department will release a public report saying that Israel is in compliance and military aid will continue uninterrupted; regardless of the facts on the ground.

      By the time voters can see for sure that this was a lie, the election will have ended.
