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..

No, but the US can sure as hell stop contributing to it. Then, they can go further and stop protecting them at the UN.
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)
There seems to be this thing where the mainstream media tries to appease anti-murder voters by insisting that Joe "I Am A Zionist" Biden is really trying hard to find a solution to this and he'll get there eventually, but in the mean time his hands are tied and he has to keep picking up the tab for Israel. But like, really guys, any minute now he's gonna stop because secretly he agrees with you that this is wrong. He just can't stop now. Like, he could. He could just stop sending them money. But he can't. But he will soon. But not now. Because he can't.
Doesn't congress send the money? Also although I think Zionism is inherently flawed thinking, but you can be a zionist and not support genocide. Nothing about being a Zionist implies the state must grow or do anything in particular other than being a Jewish ethnostate.
A two state solution was and is the only way there will be a modicum of peace, and no, it will not be fair.
He bypasses congress to send military aid.
Also how do you get an ethnostate on other peoples land without genocide?
The existence of that ethnostate was built on the nakba and the continued subjugation of Palestinians and their Jewish allies.
Want an ethnostate? Go take it from Germany. God knows they deserve it at least.
Zionism requires the wiping of a culture and people to replace it with another. There is no form of Zionism which is not genocidal.
Zionism needs a Nakba and an Apartheid state, otherwise it wouldn't be Zionism. So no, being Zionist means in one way or another supporting genocide.
Zionism in 2024 is the belief that nobody other than Ashkenazi Jews are allowed to live in Palestine. However you get to that point, well that's just secularism! /s
Oooooooh I tell you if you keep committing genocide I'm gonna get frustrated! Reeaaal frustrated!
Is he frustrated with Israel or with the political capital this is costing him?
The US foreign policy for Israel in a nutshell:
These titles always make me imagine Biden waking up one morning in presidential pyjamas saying: oh man, really frustrates me! Anyways...
"Anyways... here's 50 billion dollars to buy more weapons and munitions."
Let me just skip congress on this for ya.
C'mon... do something...
It's like telling someone not to gamble while giving him money/credit for the slot machine
When I give my kids a box of chocolates and tell them to take it easy.
Looks like a plastic surgery ad…
With the amount of surgery Biden has had, it could well be
Cut the bastard off completely
Strongly worded responses don’t mean anything. I’m looking for threats, nay, just complete cease of any type of support.
Good heavens Biden is frustrated! Oh Lord what's about to happen??!!! 🤯
He's about to become dismayed
All for the camera of course. Behind the scenes he doesn't give two craps about whatever Israel does.
To those wandering, WE ARE TOO! FUCK HIM SO SO SO MUCH!
WE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE ANYMORE - IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT ANY OF THE KIDNAPPED IS STILL ALIVE, AND EQUALLY UNLIKELY THAT HAMAS WOULD AGREE TO A DEAL. HAMAS WILL TAKE A FUCKING DECADE TO RE-ARM ITSELF , WE HAVE TOTALLY REACHED THE "IT'S POINTLESS" STAGE.FUUUUCKKK THIS GUY AND FUCK THE ASSHOLES THAT CHOSE THOSE EXTREMELY RIGHTWING NUTJOBS
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
"don't. stop. you don't need all those carbs. that cheesecake was for everyone..."
He must be exploding with frustration; every second article about him is about his growing frustration. It must be frustrating to be that frustated.
Honestly, dissing Bibi is practically a national pastime in Israel now.
But that doesn't mean there's any consensus there for peace and reconciliation They're scared, and frightened people don't always do what's right. We should be able to relate, considering what we did after 9/11.
Palestinians are scared too, with good reason.
And fear, as always, is the mindkiller.
Obviously Biden knows his private grumblings will be made public. That White House only leaks when he wants it to. Feature, not bug.
