Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.


Well first of it was conditional and involved efforts to bring in aid to palestine and to stop israeli agression. This very much mirrors 911. A thing happened and the “hurt” party rallied their allies to help them which being good allies they did but then over time the actions of the “hurt” party made no sense relative to the initial incident. There was certainly pushback on the whole thing from the biden administration but it did have to navigate congress. Take the republicans away. Like gone. completely. then the response would have cooled much faster from the us.
