It's been almost six months, you could've said something before now.

You didn't watch the State of the Union speech, huh?

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

No, instead we watched his actions. Such as banning aid for the UNRWA, blocking Un resolutions against Israel, sidestepping congress to ship them weapons, ensuring billions in funding go their way.

But wow he was totally mean to them in a speech, i guess thats what matters.

UN Security Council passes resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire 2 days ago By Raffi Berg,BBC News Watch: Moment UN passes Gaza ceasefire resolution

The UN Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, after the US did not veto the measure in a shift from its previous position. It also demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is the first time the council has called for a ceasefire since the war began in October after several failed attempts. The move by the US signals growing divergence between it and its ally Israel over Israel's offensive in Gaza.

Seems like action to me. Yeah a lot more needs to be done, but his words and actions are meeting.

I'm not sure if calling "the US chose to finally stop vetoing UN resolutions" as action. They didn't vote in the affirmative. By the time the current administration does something to actually change things like refusing to send weapons, there won't be any more Palestinians left who haven't forever lost their family, home, or life.
