Biden growing more frustrated with Netanyahu as Gaza campaign rages on
President Joe Biden has grown increasingly frustrated behind the scenes with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, telling advisers and others that the prime minister is ignoring his advice and obstructing efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, according to people familiar with ...

Don't really matter until he stops sending them bombs and billions tho innit
He already restricted visas for extremist settlers in the west bank. Making all further aid dependent on curbing the fuckery in this area is probably the way to go. It's pretty unlikely that the US can do more than delay strikes by Israel when it comes to further actions in Gaza, they don't have nearly as much control over them as everyone makes it seem.

I'll tell that to that mother in Rafah who's trying to scrape what's left of her kid into a bucket, having gone there because Israel told her it was the safe place to evacuate to after she followed Israeli orders to evacuate to Khan Younis and was bombed there as well..
@100_percent_a_bot @TheAlbatross
No, but the US can sure as hell stop contributing to it. Then, they can go further and stop protecting them at the UN.
Why would they do that? The UN is like 50 Muslim countries, pretty much all of them theocracratic dictatorships. They usually vote as a block against Israel which is pretty bs considering there is one jewish state with one voice.
@100_percent_a_bot Israel is committing genocide, we don't give a flying fuck about their opinion
Assad killed like two million people in his own country, many of them with fkin nerve gas. Where are the people calling this a genocide? Where's the condemnation by the Arab league? They don't give a shit and they wouldn't say a word if it was Egypt who was taking out hamas in Gaza right now.
@100_percent_a_bot One issue is that we're funding Israel's genocide. You skipped over that part. Conveniently.
It's time to cut Israel offComparing Netanyahu to Assad is very apt, I agree
Guy who gasses hundreds of thousands of his own people and bombs them with barrel bombs from helicopters = guy who happens to contribute to the death of 28 k people (at worst) because terrorists choose to hide behind their own women and children. Smartest lemming
I agree that dropping dumb bombs on populated areas is wrong
It isn't if they do the proper strike assessment. If killing civilians was their goal they're doing a very shitty job at it considering they dropped over 20k bombs on Gaza.
@100_percent_a_bot That's horrible!!! How many billions did America give him to do that?
... Awkward
About 12 billion from what I can find
@100_percent_a_bot We gave Israel 12 billion to massacre Palestinians you mean
No you guys spent like 12 billion on "humanitarian aid" for the Assad regime
@100_percent_a_bot Oh, so we didn't send the missiles and bombs?
Like you and the US are sending to Israel for their "defense" against 6 years olds
Israel exists by the grace of the US. Cut off aid and it ceases to be.
Yeah.. No
He did it for 4 people.
The order initially imposes financial sanctions and visa bans against four individuals, and US officials said they were evaluating whether to punish others involved in attacks that have intensified during the Israel-Hamas war.
They do though. As well as essentially paying them to do it, they sit on the UN Security Council and veto everything raised against this genocide.
Biden has twice since Oct 7 bypassed congress to give Israel billions in aid and congress is set to do this again soon.
He can act to end aid to Israel, but he does not. All articles about his distaste for the wanton horrors in Palestine are simply his PR team trying to keep things positive as we head into an election year as Biden is so detached from the public, he can't figure out supporting war crimes is bad (but, hey, guess that part is just acting Presidential)
