In reply to the discussion: Almost 50,000 Wisconsin voters just told Biden to stop the Gaza war. Will he listen? [View all]Lonestarblue
(13,598 posts)Some people seem to think that Biden can do nothing to stop Israel, and its true that he cannot force a change in their government. But he can stop supporting Israel in the UN, stop sending weapons, and make it clear publicly that he does not support Netanyahus indiscriminate killing. He can immediately recognize Palestine as a country and begin appointing a coalition of interested parties to formulate plans for a future state. He can also announce a coalition formed to create plans for rebuilding Gaza fr Palestinians, not Israeli settlers. He can do this while reiterating Israels right to exist but also that Palestinians have the same right to a state.
Will these changes be enough to convince Israelis that Netanyahu is causing huge problems fr their country and needs to go? I dont know, but I do believe that sending more weapons to Israel is wrong, and Biden can definitely stop that.
After the Oct. 7 attack, Israel had the worlds sympathy. Today it has the worlds anger and hatred. As Israels strongest ally and the one arming their attacks, the US also is suffering that anger and hatred.
