Defying the White House and others who have warned them against such a thing...
The reality here is that this sort of Biden and the Democrats worst nightmare. They have indoctrinated the Jewish and Islamic community into both believing they are on their side. It has always been a clever and delicate thing, but indoctrination is overwhelming for a lot of people so they have gotten away with it.
But now they are required to basically take a side. Either side they take is going to piss off the other side. If they back Israel they will likely lose Muslim voters. If they back Palestine, well they are already on shaky ground with many Jewish voters. The cold hard reality for them is that they cannot really afford to lose their strangle hold on either demographic, as they are already losing Hispanics and Black males. Pretty soon their entire Party will be white indoctrinated woke Gen Z children and old geezers in lock down nursing homes who worship at the feet of the indoctrinated!
So politics (not logic) dictates that we send aid to Israel along with aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. It quite literally makes zero sense to take both sides in a war. Especially when you are giving military aid to one side and then providing humanitarian aid to the side that your weapons are attacking. But that is the policy of our current Administration which always has both eyes on the voter (and neither on the issues at hand).
Politics also dictates that it would be best for Biden's political fortunes if Israel held off any escalation here. The idea of a full scale invasion is the last thing that the Administration wants to see because it places them in an even harder position to bridge support between both sides. They have already committed to siding with Israel and have given full throated support of them defending themselves from terror attacks. To pull out of that support would be disastrous for our relationship with Israel. Moreover, the idea of pulling support because of how it might affect polls and political support is exactly why this Presidency has been a full scale disaster. Biden has been the ultimate panderer. Pandering for votes (rather than doing what is right) has been the trademark of his Presidency. Israel is going to be making this hard on Biden (and his pandering) by invading Gaza after Biden and his team has asked for restraint.
