Joe Biden said yesterday that he would not send munitions' to Israel of the type used offensive operations.
Biden, in an interview with CNN on Wednesday, said that the U.S. was still committed to Israel’s defense and would supply Iron Dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms but that if Israel goes into Rafah, “we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used.”
Biden acknowledged that “civilians have been killed in Gaza” by the type of heavy bombs that the U.S. has been supplying -- his first validation of what administration critics have been loudly protesting, even if he still stopped short of taking responsibility. His threat to hold up artillery shells expanded on earlier revelations that the U.S. was going to pause a shipment of heavy bombs.
Hamas must be decisively defeated. Eradicated. The fact that Hamas hides behind the civil population should have no bearing on the prosecution of the war. If Hamas wanted to protect its citizens, it could. Hamas does not want to protect the civilians.
If our President does not want to be held responsible for killing innocents, then why is the U.S. supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine who have targeted both Russian Army AND civilian targets inside Russia. I've never heard Biden demand that Ukraine ONLY targets military targets.
