Biden can still save what remains of Gaza, and his sorry legacy
He can stop arming Israel now, and go down in history as a president who – albeit belatedly – put an end to a genocide.

Netanyahu wouldn't stop just because Biden cut off weapons shipments. At best the genocide would be paused for a couple of months until Trump took office and resumed shipments.
Two months without genocide is better than genocide. There’s no moral or humane reason not to exert every ounce of possible influence to stop this even if it ends up being temporary. I don’t think Biden has any idea how poorly history will judge him for his lack of action. He has the power in this relationship. And it’s infuriating that he has consistently refused to use it.
And for an example of how unfair the world is: Trump will probably not be judged poorly, even when he inevitably makes things worse, because Trump doesn’t get the blame for the bad things he does, he gets rewarded. It’s not fair, it’s not right, but not much is these days.
