Motivation

According to a recent report compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, more than half of the air-to-ground munitions Israel used in Gaza since the start of the war, October 7th, were “dumb bombs” or unguided bombs. The usage of the bomb posed a huge threat to an area like Gaza which is densely populated in the world. It is estimated that over 2 million people live on the territory. The U.S pressuring Israel to lessen its civilian death toll is contrary to their more recent weapons sale with Israel and has called many to question Biden’s administration even those of his own political party especially with the Palestinian death toll rising above 20,000 and those injured over 50,000. The usage of unguided bombs on a small and dense region has made the global population question Israel’s motivation, which is now seemingly malicious.
