They actively vetoed resolutions, continues to provide weapons, and made it very clear that there was very little daylight between him and Netanyahu. He just wanted him to slow down a little and pay more lip service to humanitarian concerns.
From my vantage point, this is more or less in line with general Democratic policies and how they differ from the Republican policies of, say, the 90s and 00s: Obama wasn't carpet bombing the middle east, but he was sending drones all the time, which at some point looked like almost every wedding taking place in the region was his target. So the differences have always been more quantitative and stylistic than qualitative.
If we are to compare all that with today's Republican Party and Trump ... well, obviously the difference suddenly looks qualitatively meaningful. "Very very bad" and "awful" is qualitatively different from "horrific" and "atrocious", but that difference does not necessarily warm my heart.
That said, the vacillation on the ongoing genocide is pretty endemic to Europe, who it appears, still have not been able to put away their centuries old disdain for muslims and brown faces speaking weird languages.They've been completely absent on this affair (Ireland being the exception).
My anger at this whole debacle is slowly shifting towards and focusing on the West more than Israel, Netanyahu, and IDF, the same way my anger has been locked into the Democratic Party leadership in domestic policies rather than Trump and MAGA. Same logic: monster's gonna monster, fascists gonna fascist, predators gonna prey ... that's their nature. Who guards the international order and the lives of innocents? A morally vacuous bunch who like to posture all day, but have no real game or actual moral conviction to talk about.
