So maybe stop fucking enabling him?

All Biden has to do is cut off aid, and they'll cave.

They can't act like this without Biden to hide behind.

Biden has received more aipac money than any other us politician in history.

He will continue to use rhetoric to show his supporters he is “doing everything he can” while continuing to give the Israeli government weapons and resources.

And Netanyahu will continue to make Biden look like a clown

I don't know why people act like Biden isn't why this is happening.

They tried the same thing under Obama, and when Obama told them to cut the shit or it was over, they stopped.

Biden publicly went against Obama, and since then (post 10/7) even bragged about how recent events prove Obama was wrong. Which only makes sense if Biden is happy with how things are.

This shit literally wouldn't be happening under any other president. Even under trump it didn't, be cause trump isn't reliable. Israel couldn't start something like this with trump in office, because then if trump pulls out they'd be absolutely fucked.

Because trump is an idiot, but he'd realize they need him. And if Trump thinks you need him, shit gets very very expensive quickly.

Biden though?

It's not money for him, he truly and completely supports Israel no matter what. His money wasn't bribes for him, it was too keep him in office. No amount of money can buy Biden's loyalty to Israel.

Could they inverse the their defense to be offense

[–] Rottcodd@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

No shit. It's likely that staying in office is the only thing keeping him out of prison.

That's not the only reason the war is being prolonged though. The other notable reason is that there can be no defined point at which it's over simply because Israel has no intention of ever leaving Gaza.

Duh. That's why he's been propping up Hamas for years.

So wat is Biden's excuse? Just general whoring himself out like the rest of America.

He did a bunch of work to hold Netanyahu to his own terms for a ceasefire, and Netanyahu wouldn't honor them. (Hamas probably won't either, but that's another matter)

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 5 months ago

Hamas is Netanyahu in a mask, funded and supported by him to keep him in power. Of course they won't stop.

Like...send more weapons to bomb civilians into oblivian and refute every mention of a genocide because the US benefits from the genocide.

He also routinely states he is a zionist, givinf support to the genocidal movement.
