At first, I considered it one of those proverbial baby-splitting decisions, and thus a dumb move. The Israeli government and its partisans in the U.S. are going to flip out as if this is the worst betrayal ever, because it's their M.O. to flip out over anything slightly critical. It's also not going to satisfy the "Genocide Joe" faction.

After some reflection, I think (hope!) that this is a warning shot to get IDF to take protecting civilians seriously. And because they won't (ethnic cleansing is the whole point of the operation), the Biden team better be ready to back it up with real consequences.

And the idiot Republicans have already jumped straight to impeachment talk, the New War Times is hyperventilating about antisemitism. They have no room to escalate, he's taken the big political hit. Now there's not so much further downside to bringing the hammer down on the Netanyahu regime.
