what could biden realistically do to stop the israel gaza war

realistically i dont think there much he could do. He could threaten to curtail/cutoff aid to israel but rather than solving the problem i think that will make it worse. israel has a well trained,well funded army pluse they have nuclear weapons. the israeli goverment is basically run by their version of the maga nut jobs here.

if we were to cut them off im pretty sure that israels response would be the hell with the rest of the world and they would just go in and flatten gaza, consequences and civilian casualties be damned.

the fact of matter is you have a long long history of hatred in that part of the world and nothing the us does is going to change that.

personally i hate netanyahu and the current israeli government honestly i dont think theres much that biden or the US can realistically do. sanctioning israel besides being politically infeasible would just make things worse IMHO.

sometime there not much you can do except watch the house burn down

trucker convoy gets a few dozen instead on the700,000 they

Paranoia about federal entrapment is looming large over the “Take Our Border Back” convoy, which departed Virginia Beach Monday morning and plans to arrive in Texas later this week.

By noon Monday, after a few hours on the road, the convoy had amassed just a few dozen participants—so far, predominantly men over the age of 60. The convoy’s promoters promised over 700,000 participants.

they have a new conspiracy to blame for it. they think the convoy is actually an FBI trap.

“All i’m gonna say to the people who are going to the border: don’t get caught in another January 6th event and do dumb shit to get entrapped by your corrupt government,”

US cuts off funding to the UNRWA after they were exposedbeing involved with the hamas terrorists

The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees fired a number of its staffers in Gaza suspected of taking part in the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas and other militants on southern Israel, its director said Friday, prompting the United States — the agency’s biggest donor — to temporarily halt its funding.



Good. its been obvious for years that the UN has unclean hands when it comes to israel,especially the UNRWA.
