How Biden Boxed Himself In on Gaza

We are nearly six months into Israel’s tragic bombardment of Gaza, using weapons provided by United States funding. Even after a death toll of tens of thousands, warnings from virtually every human rights organization, months of protests, hundreds of thousands of Democratic primary voters nationwide registering protest votes and plummeting approval ratings, the Biden administration has not significantly changed course.


For our April 2024 print issue, Jonathan Guyer wrote about President Biden’s approach to the crisis in Gaza and why nothing the administration is doing meets the scale of the crisis. After multiple decades of building his political career on unflagging support for Israel, President Biden has been failing to meet the moment. His worldview, a product of a different era, is no longer in step with the times. As Guyer argues, the story is not really one of foreign policy, but the ideology and psychology of President Biden.
