The gap between Biden's words and deeds on Gaza is growing — and there are two words the US president can't shake
ABCEleven days after 1,200 people were killed in the brutal October 7 attacks, the American president was in Tel Aviv with a message for grieving Israelis. Earlier this month, after referring to Netanyahu as a "good friend", he said his government needed to change, and accused Israel of indiscriminate attacks: "It has most of the world supporting it. And Brazil's president said Israel's actions in Gaza were "as grave" as the Hamas attack. Unconditional support Despite its toughened talk about Israel's actions in Gaza, the Biden administration's material support remains rock solid, and out of step with some of what it's been saying. But with no consequences for "indiscriminate bombing", and no conditions on weapons supply, Biden's words about civilian welfare look to be doing little to alleviate any of Gaza's misery.
