I would say the US has been limp-dicked in the past few weeks with their admonitions and entreaties that Israel try to avoid killing civilians (as if there isn't a strong case to be made that this is part of Israel's goal, both as a matter of simple revenge and also a strat for getting their hostages back).

However, criticizing our government as weak would require believing it cares about Palestinian lives in the first place, which is a highly questionable assumption at this point.
