      Yes, because whomever Biden loses to will DEFINITELY have a different policy on Israel that couldn’t possibly be worse in every measure.

      His admin got the 4hr pauses, they are absolutely getting a ceasefire by the time of the election in 2024.

        It does him in because it hasn’t been demanded of Israel beginning in the first week of the genocide. Yes, this is a genocide perpetrated by the Israelis, and the majority of us do not want our taxpayer dollars funding it. Biden the war hawk acts as if there’s no other choice, and he’s clearly wrong about that.

        That said, it would be 100% Biden’s MO to get the ceasefire sometime next year after hundreds of thousands more civilian casualties and call that a “win.” Pathetic, dinosaur, loser.

          Biden was a darling of the Israel lobby for most of his career. His Vice Presidency was a fig leaf thrown to satiate them into supporting Obama’s presidential run, since Obama was known for openly recognizing the situation and even attended pro-Palestine events and lectures.

          Americans don’t really have a say in their foreign policy, it’s basically whatever the military industrial complex decides is in America’s best interest.

    Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else.

    I mean…if they release the hostages I’m sure they’d ceasefire. But releasing them all from weeks of rape and torture isn’t on the table for Hamas so the Israelis will keep going till they’re recovered or dead probably.
