Don’t Believe the Hype—Biden’s Israel Policy Hasn’t Changed​

Story by Aída Chávez
• 13h • 5 min read

The decision to let a UN cease-fire resolution pass has been hailed as a dramatic turning point. It isn’t.

On Monday, the United Nations Security Council voted to demand an immediate cease-fire in Gaza for the rest of Ramadan.

The resolution, which was backed by 14 countries after US-led efforts to water it down, combined the call for a cease-fire with a demand for the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages. (Given that it is tied to Ramadan, any cease-fire that comes from this resolution would last only a little over two weeks.) For the first time since the war in Gaza broke out, the United States abstained rather than vetoing the resolution, allowing the measure to pass. In response, the Israeli government immediately threw a tantrum, condemning the resolution and canceling a planned meeting at the White House.

These events prompted many political observers to say that a new, dramatic rupture had opened up between the Biden administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Democratic Party politicians and commentators also interpreted the UN vote and its aftermath as a positive development, indicative of the power of grassroots pressure or of a potential shift in the Biden administration’s Israel-Palestine policy—one that could usher in further tangible changes.

But look beneath the seemingly roiling surface, and the reality is that Monday’s vote changed very little about the US approach to the war. All that has changed is that Biden has been given a chance to more effectively obscure his government’s material support and facilitation of mass atrocities in Gaza.

The clearest proof of this came from the administration itself in the hours following the UN vote. After the adoption of the resolution, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the UN, insisted that the resolution is “non-binding,” while reiterating that the United States will continue to support Israel’s war until Hamas can “no longer threaten Israel” and can “no longer control Gaza.” (Legal experts have strongly rejected the idea that the resolution is not binding.)


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. “Nothing, nothing has changed about our policy. Nothing,” Kirby said. He’s right.

The Biden administration is still helping Israel to implement a novel and uniquely bloody version of the old regime-change playbook. As its advisers and allies have repeatedly explained, the US-Israeli “plan” for Gaza requires removing Hamas from power and demilitarizing the region, which would enable them to impose a “victor’s peace” version of a two-state solution on a population with no way to meaningfully affect the outcome. To reach its goal of regime change in Gaza, the US fully backs Israel’s aim to kill as many Palestinian militants as possible—a plan that cannot be achieved without erring on the side of killing military-age males, whether armed or not.

Days of colonial settler states are soon going to come crashing down and that includes the biggest of them all, the USA.

You ignore or sweep numerous posts giving you proof of systematic rape committed by your chosen ones - wholesale genocide - collective punishment and not forgetting war crimes - yet think he “may fee bad”?
No solomon we don’t and can’t feel bad. We feel sad for the victims of the crimes committed by who you stand behind.
You seem to think - like in the 1940s crimes will be hidden - it worked for Goebells - it won’t work today - every crime and event is logged thanks to the internet and social
Media. Let that sink in……
By the way - this is a free platform to share opinions and debate respectively - not to spread peddle false narrative. Do carry on

So, they were just stockpiling ammunition. And now they have sidelined Gaza. It would have made more sense for Hezbollah to take a more escalatory role earlier on conflict to potentially force a ceasefire on both fronts (Lebanon and Gaza). That would be risky but if Israel does conduct a major campaign in Lebanon than it was a lost opportunity.
