      Itā€™s the neoliberal way.

      A few hundred dead Palestinian kids isnā€™t going to worry a wealthy neoliberal. Not their kids, not their country.

      But ā€œbombing targets going unbombedā€ fundamentally means ā€œprofits going unprofitedā€ and thatā€™s an idea that brings a neoliberal out in a cold sweat.

      Ultimately, Bidenā€™s statement is just his part in the pantomime. Heā€™s doing the ā€œleft-wing neoliberalā€ thing where he does exactly the same horrific shit as the right-wing neoliberals, but he frowns while he does it.

      If he doesnā€™t frown hard enough, he might lose the election, but itā€™s not going to stop the children being blown up or the neoliberals profiting from it.
