I feel like Biden and his campaign operatives are slow walking this because they’re either:
a) afraid of having the right label “stopping genocide” as “supporting hamas and terrorism.” They’ve already started doing that in response to Schumer‘s recent speech.
Or
b) Even though most Americans now don’t support Israel’s actions in Gaza, they’re afraid that totally withholding support to Israel is still not polling at the numbers they need.
