Didnt the US just veto a cease fire agreement? How can the us president critisize indiscriminate bombing but veto an attempt to stop it?

How can the us president critisize indiscriminate bombing but veto an attempt to stop it?

Easy. Biden is simply posturing for purposes of damage control - the massive failure of the pro-Israeli propaganda machine has taken the US political establishment by complete surprise (it is probably also calculated to "distance" Biden from the predictable batshit pro-Israeli posturing GOP candidates are going to be oozing next year).

Can you elaborate more on this?

Oh... it's just this.

Nearly 40 years of uncountable amounts of treasure spent peddling Israel to the world and specifically the US - and it's coming to an end.

Israel used to have good propaganda to justify their war crimes. Recently they have dropped all pretense and now they just go

"Yeah we want to genocide all Palestinians and steal their land, and America will support us no matter what".

They're saying the quiet part out loud.

Also all the IDF propaganda such as the 40 beheaded babies and the hospital base instantly being debunked has started to show just how much israel is lying to justify their colonialism.

Probably cause he wants to please the republicans by helping Israel and also please the dems by telling the IDF to at least try and limit the civilian casualties. He really should just pick a lane here.
