The most relevant fact about the Biden administration’s current position on the war against Gaza is this: There is no Israeli war crime too extreme for Joe Biden to consider pausing, to say nothing of cutting off, the flow of U.S. weapons and financial support for Israel’s war of annihilation. On Tuesday, the Senate passed an extraordinary $14 billion in additional military aid for Israel to continue its occupation and bombing of the Palestinians of Gaza. Biden remains defiant in rejecting global demands for an immediate cessation of Israel’s military assault on a starving, overwhelmingly defenseless population. Not only has Biden flatly rejected suggestions that he use the threat of halting military sales to Israel, his administration is currently preparing a new shipment of powerful munitions to Tel Aviv.
A recent U.S. intelligence estimate indicated that Israel’s current weapons stockpiles only enables it to wage war against Gaza for an additional 19 weeks, unless Washington sends more ammunition. The fact that Biden has outright refused to use his leverage as Israel’s arms dealer is a stark indication that the occasional public platitudes, offered by U.S. officials and numerous media leaks about Biden’s mounting frustration with Netanyahu, are little more than a re-election campaign ploy.
The reason Gaza has become a domestic electoral problem for Biden is because of activism, especially from Palestinian Americans. The White House seems to believe it can still salvage the Arab American vote and desperately hopes the specter of another Donald Trump term will tilt the balance in Biden’s favor regardless of his atrocious role in an ongoing genocide. Whatever happens in the November election, it should never be forgotten that it was Biden, not those Americans who oppose Israel’s war and the U.S. facilitation of it, that bolstered Trump’s chances. That is entirely on Biden and the Democratic Party establishment.
For all the people who claimed that israel doesn’t need the US for their Genocide, this is a pretty important indication that the bombs used to kill Palestinians aren’t being summoned out of thin air.
If Biden actually cared he would use these weapons as leverage to demand a two state solution.
Anyone who actually cares needs to know the two state solution isn’t real. It’s a red herring.
There’s only a one state solution: a multi-ethnic and multi-religious democracy, from the river to the sea.
There’s also a zero state solution, which is likely. Israel may succeed in ending Palestine, but they will have sacrificed any long-term security they have. If foreign aid ever stops, which I’d say is highly likely within the next 50 years, the rest of the middle east will destroy Israel. Unless the Israeli government can be convinced to pivot on their actions, this is probably an unavoidable scenario.
Speaking of which, I also fear another Sept. 11.
The Houthi’s are doing an amazing job by blockading the Red Sea. They’ve disrupted the entirety of global trade without killing a single person. And it’s putting a ton of pressure on America and Europe to actually do something about their Genocide.
The Arab world has been doing an outstanding job on not targeting civilians but military targets.
A few drones in certain parts of indonesia hitting ships, and we have a world trade collapse very quickly
Good thing America is installing a military dictator in Indonesia

Or maybe use the weapons to demand Hamas release the hostages? Which is exactly what he’s doing.
Oh, you forgot about the hostages?
Besides holding back on weapons means Israel just uses less accurate home-made bombs. Take out a city block instead of just one building.
They’re going to get those hostages back one way or another. Maybe tell your Hamas friends to release them so Israel won’t go into Rafah?
We’re entering the endgame now, so how many people will Hamas let die before they come out of the tunnels and fight like men?
Israel blew those people up. They are gone.
Israel killed three hostages wearing a white flag lol.
The IDF doesn’t care about hostages. Israel wants to kill all hostages as it’s the only leverage against them.

Never heard the term friendly fire before? It’s a war soldiers fuck up, bad things happen.
There’s a reason for the expression “War is Hell,” children. God damn Hamas for starting this war.
New video from GDF explains how the IDF intentionally shot many of their own civilians with israeli witness testimonies.

LMAO, thank you for finding the most succinct way possible to prove you dont have a clue what youre talking about - “hamas started this war”.
Israel literally kills their own hostages and doesnt give one shit about it. To be clear, Hamas is the good guys in this war. And the idea that the modern day equivalent of the nazis would stop doing their genocide over a few hostages they freely blow up themselves is simply brain dead.
