    This article is inaccurate or at least misleading in its title presentation. It’s reporting on something that happened on October 20th, as the second paragraph notes, and was never actually enacted. In fact, Biden moved back from this and has been instead moving to restrict all weaponry sales to Israel in the past few days.

    Biden has not been in any form of good light in my eyes in the past two months, but please don’t spread fake or misleading information like this.

        That’s clearly the point for articles like this to even be written. There’s no defense for a title like that when it’s referring to something from a month ago that wasn’t even enacted.

        A lie travels halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.

        Since that quote was written long before the Internet, the lie has now been round the world 20 times and has multiple reaction videos before the truth can even find its boots.

      I appreciate you taking a step back and contextualizing because I embarrassingly did miss that part when I was reading this article. Another reminder of the importance of media literacy. However, I still find it both problematic and disappointing that this had ever been proposed at all. I’m tired of the Team America World Police act.

        I always find the whole world police thing to be perplexing. People complain if America intervenes but they also complain if they don’t intervene.

        Don’t be embarrassed, at least you came back and admitted you missed something
