Robert Reich says that his conversations with US student protestersshowed him that their protests are meant as a rebuke to Israel'sdeadly violence in Gaza. He reports that Biden said he has cut off supply ofartillery shells for Israel to use in attacking Rafah, and credits this as an achievementfor the protesters.

His article does not report the fine print of Biden's decision. Israel surely has lots ofartillery shells already. Is this decision going to actually hamper Israel's current attack?

Even if it doesn't do that, it must help convince some of the Israeli government thatIsrael cannot continue down this path. Maybe that will suffice to change the governmentand end the bombardment and siege of Gaza.

Let's not lose sight ofwhere we want to end up.
