    Biden could stop this with a phone call.

    The only way Netanyahu is able to do this is because he knows he has Biden’s support. Netanyahu relies on Biden to veto any action by the United Nations.

    All this stuff we hear in the media about how Biden is frustrated with Netanyahu is just theatre. Don’t fall for it.

    Biden has tremendous leverage to push Israel to a ceasefire that he is not using, but needs to use. That includes adopting a UN resolution that condemns Israel’s actions. Netanyahu is a fascist who is desperate to prolong or expand the war to stay out of prison. Netanyahu and the other fascists in his war cabinet are not arguing in good faith or under Biden’s direct control. The current government in Israel needs to collapse so a new coalition can take power and pull the IDF out of Gaza. The IDF leadership seems to be populated with ideologues and have no interested in eliminating any terrorist groups. The IDF and the current war cabinet want to punish Palestinians and have a bogyman. Netanyahu wants to prevent Palestinian statehood.

    No, the Republican Party says terrible things and does terrible things. The Democrats say nice things and do terrible things.

    The Republicans consistently say they are the party of small government and freedoms and then consistently work tirelessly to take those freedoms away. Democrats push out incremental progress which is good, but too slow if we are going to advert a climate disaster or prevent a christo-fascist dictatorship with an oligarchy of billionaires.

    Well, if Joe Biden doesn’t like that, then maybe he should stop killing brown children.

    Biden is not directly killing anyone, although Biden is complicit in the deaths of Palestinian children. The fascists will kill millions of people at home and around the world.
