Biden’s right: The U.S. should oppose Israel’s tactics in Gaza

Last week, President Biden held back a single shipment of arms to Israel when, despite consistent and long-standing U.S. objections, Israel was planning an expanded assault on the city of Rafah. The Israeli government and its defenders in the United States (including members of Congress and Jewish organizations) hollered. Abandoning Israel! Helping Hamas! Nonsense. Indeed, developments suggest Biden’s reaction was well calibrated, considering Israel apparently lacks a strategic plan for victory.
