So far, Bidenâs commitment to a ârules-based orderâ rings hollow Arming Israel as it assaulted Gaza was an open affront to the international law the administration claims to support.

Much of the world is also shocked by the role of the United States in this crisis, as it keeps providing Israel with weapons to kill Palestinian civilians, in violation of U.S. and international law, and has repeatedly blocked action by the U.N. Security Council to impose a ceasefire or hold Israel accountable for its war crimes.
