You’re quoting a law that doesn’t apply here because US laws exist to be selectively enforced in the interests of the US. It sucks, but it’s been this way since at least WWII. Unless the Secretary of State decides to break decades of bipartisan support for Israel, this law is meaningless.
Now you’re getting it. This isn’t an argument. It’s an education on how government really works. If Biden was breaking a law, Republicans would immediately pounce to impeach him. But there hasn’t been a peep from them. So, no law is being broken.
No moving the goalposts. There’s a great distance between where people believe the goalposts are (or should be) and where they are in reality. The US has interests greater than simple humanitarian concerns and those laws are never applied unless it’s in the US’s interest to do so.
For example: Saudi Arabia. They’re basically a terrorist state, but the US is buddies with them for access to their oil and to have a friend in the region to be a check against Iran. Haven’t they been complicit in the famine in Yemen. No one gave Trump any shit for supporting them.
Suddenly, here’s Biden continuing longstanding US policy and you all act like he’s a genocidal madman. Where were you when the people of Yemen were starving? You people said nothing. But now it’s suddenly an issue because it’s a Democrat in the Whitehouse. Or is it because it’s Israel rather than a Muslim nation?
The goalposts never moved, you just kept imagining them to be where you wanted them to be. Reality is what it is until someone changes it for the better. Vote locally and focus on the change at the bottom if you want to see change at the top.

No its a meaningless rhetorical game where you move the goalposts
