Hundreds of federal employees signed an open letter calling on the president to "urgently demand a ceasefire" and the de-escalation of the conflict through the release of hostages and provision of humanitarian aid.
I’m genuinely curious what you expect Biden should do other than ask Netanyahu and the leaders of Hamas to agree to a ceasefire? No shade what so ever. I just dont see what options he has to sway these two sovereign nations.
He asks Israel for ceasefire. Then he cuts funding if they don’t listen. Israel will do literally anything to maintain that pipeline of cash.
No one is asking for them to disarm, or allow Hamas to strike. People are just asking for Israel to stop with the warcrimes while support groups can figure out how to aid the Palestinians.
Then Israel cuts political funding and a whole pile of Democrats lose their next election. Most people have ZERO idea how much political power AIPAC has in the United States.
Literally every President and Vice President and the major POTUS candidates for at least the past two decades has spoke at AIPAC. Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush Jr, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Sarah Palin. ALL of them.
If there’s another single issue lobbying group out there with more political power I’m unaware of them. AIPAC flexes so hard that even the NRA is jealous.
Israel will do literally anything to maintain that pipeline of cash.
That pipeline of cash isn’t going anywhere no matter what Israel does or doesn’t do. They are driving the bus, not riding in it.
Which is why so many people are marching and phoning their representatives etc. We know it’s not going to change on its own, and we can’t live with doing nothing.
Playing this out. Democrats lose power over lost political funding. AIPAC now ensures it’s largest gov. ally effectively slips into single party representation. That remaining party is aligned nearly completely to an orange figure head that supports fascism openly. Overseas, ironically, the country created as a result of WWII fascism becomes any ally to the world’s largest fascist superpower. Sounds like we’re fscked any way you slice this.
What did they British government do when proto-isreali terrorists partook in a campaign of assassinations and civilian bombings that used schools, temples and hospitals to stage attacks and store weapons?

President Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden won’t be cutting a damn thing.
AIPAC has bent and twisted US Domestic politics for it’s own benefit for at least the last twenty years and party doesn’t matter.
Democrat 1
Democrat 2
Republican 1
Republican 2

Kamala Harris? Yup.
New Speaker of the House Mike Johnson? AIPAC was his single largest donor!
It’s not just leadership either, AIPAC will fund dozens of US Congresspeople so they can go to Israel and meet with Israeli Officials.

You’ve described the situation.
