and said that we would not supply weapons for a full scale invasion.
That was May 9th 2024.
It didnt stop them from continuing their attacks in Gaza for the rest of 2024 and it didnt stop the Rafah offensive which in which 1,000,000+ Palestinians were displaced.
78,300 people were killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and December 31, 2024. By the end of May 2024 there were 36,284 killed. That leaves about 42,000 killed after Biden paused the arms shipments of heavy bombs.
I certainly applaud what President Biden did but as we keep pointing out it did not really change anything.
What would Harris have done that would have changed that outcome that you would support? Specifically? Stop all arms sales to Israel? Stop all trade with Israel? Sanction Israel?
