The emptiest threat in modern history. Everyone the world over knows that if the US cared about Palestinians enough to cut weapons funding, they would have done it months ago.

This is why I put this in politics instead of news. This is such a calculated position technically reversing on something they were seemingly committed to to an absurd degree. Until now the WH has been consistent that it was not willing to even entertain the suggestion that any limitations at all be placed on "Isreal's right to defend itself." Allowing humanitarian support to mitigate the problems of disease and famine on the gaza strip is the absolute least of what needs to be demanded of Israel.
