President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would not supply offensive weapons that Israel could use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah — the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza — over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there.

Biden, in an interview with CNN, said 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.”

      Right…Rafah was supposed to be another “red line” for Biden, and per usual Netenyahu spits in Biden’s face, calls him his removed, and bombs away. Over 100 large bombs dropped on Rafah already, and perhaps more importantly with IDF shutting down the Rafah border crossing, the slow drip of humanitarian aid has completely ceased.

      This. Is. Genocide.
