It’s more than messaging. Before he was just letting his staffers leak that he thought Netanyahu was a super mean bad-man while he did literally nothing. After Michigan he began aid drops on Gaza, he’s building his temporary shipping port, the Democrats are calling for Netanyahu to step down, and they’ve abstained from a UN ceasefire vote.
Don’t get me wrong, all of this is entirely insufficient. If Biden wanted to really make a difference, he would stop approving military aid to Israel and resume funding UNWRA. That should be the bare minimum of acceptable actions in the face of a genocide. That being said, what he’s doing now is more than just talk, it’s action. Entirely inadequate action.
