All these mental idiots in this thread equating criticism of Biden to supporting Trump are the reason why nothing ever changes.

Bet you its the same people who voted for Biden in the primaries instead of a real leftist/progressive like Bernie Sanders.

If Imran Khan sitting in jail sending messages to his voters via a fake AI version of himself can garner enough votes to defeat the militarily backed opposition in Pakistan, there is no excuse for why democrats can’t be at least forced to listen to their constituency instead of running yet another corporate shill and then crying when they lose elections again because said corporate shill actively funded a genocide

I wouldn’t be surprised. But damn does he have to open himself up to criticism like this during an election year? And to defend (checks notes) the world’s most obvious induced famine genocide since the Holodomor?

What is his upside here?

Yes, get the orange man elected instead. I’m fairly certain a core platform of the GOP is to stop brown people dying and to stop selling military hardware.

Not a straw man, it would be the consequence of continuing to protest by interrupting Biden’s fundraising.

If only there was one thing Biden could do right now to salvage those key voting blocks in multiple battleground states he barely won in 2020…

Nah it’s the people who are wrong.

He’s been trying since the start.

Biden also emphasized his view that “a military operation in Rafah just really cannot proceed without a credible and implementable plan for ensuring the safety of and support for the more than 1 million people that are now sheltering there,” the official said, adding that they simply had “nowhere to go.”

Biden and his team have also been irritated by Netanyahu’s public rejections of a two-state solution, long a lynchpin of American policy in the region.

The Biden administration has placed a particular premium on Israel reducing the number of civilian casualties in its military operations. The U.S. urging seemed to have some effect in recent days, as Israel began to withdraw some troops from northern Gaza and moved to a less-intensive campaign of airstrikes.

Israel has been not just uncooperative, but also openly hostile toward some smaller American requests, such as when Blinken pressed Israel to turn over the tax revenue it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, which Israel has refused to do.

Biden knows he has the power to stop this. He stopped Netanyahu’a bombing in 2021 with one phone call.

If he isn’t getting it stopped it’s because he doesn’t want it stopped. And that’s without even getting into the fact that he’s still sending them bombs. You’d think that would be the first thing to stop.

Netty is an authoritarian so he knows squeezing bidens balls on this is a “victory” for himself regardless if Gaza is decimated

He circumvented congress to sell Netanyahu weapons to be used for genocide, but trust us, he’s slightly miffed.
