The UN security council passed in a historic moment a resolution to Israel for immediate ceasefire in the Gaza strip. The US abstained and did not veto that decision. Seems Joe Biden is really pissed at Bibi.
I'm not quite sure Biden is really willing to change course. For starters, the supply of weapons to Israel continues unabated, and he personally bypassed checks and balances to make sure Bibi got his weapons to kill Palestinians. Second, the US armed forces continue supplying the IDF with intelligence and everything they need to continue their campaign. Third, as pointed out
here, Linda Thomas-Greenfield was quick to dismiss the UN Security Council Resolution as "non-binding" (a claim immediately challenged by her colleagues) in a clear attempt to sabotage it.
Please note that Biden and the corporate faction of the Democratic party (
i.e. the faction favoured by a certain SLebrity blogger that keeps railing against Sanders every chance she gets or makes) have not altered their
actual policy towards Israel, even though its political system is openly and unabashedly pro-Trump,
i.e. pro-
fascist. The Overton window in Israel has moved to the farthest of far-right. Unless I see an
actual change of course and rhetoric on behalf of the US, I won't believe the Biden administration (or the Scholz
Kanzlerei in Germany, for that matter) is aware of how their unconditional support to Israel makes it look and what moral and diplomatic risks this entails.
