I get where you’re coming from and your sense of urgency— obviously. I want Biden to tell Bibi to fuck off with the Palestinian civilian genocide bullshit and to cut off all offensive weapons deliveries 20 years ago.

My point is that US policy on Israel has, really, never changed-- until just now. And that’s a really big deal. I get that it’s not as much or as fast as everyone wanted, but that it happened at all it a tremendous victory. Changing state dept. policy isn’t just some party trick, and changing state dept. policy on Israel is a goddamned miracle. So enough with the “not enough”. Celebrate this victory, pat some backs, and then keep protesting!

Now that policy can be changed, keep fighting for bigger change!

Edit: fixating on that you didn’t get a big enough victory in round 1 (even though it’s the biggest victory by anyone, ever wrt US-Israel policy shift) comes off as ignorant and ungrateful. Take the win and move on to round 2.
