    Full on propaganda headline by NYT. Unsurprising as usual.

    Israel rejected the ceasefire because Biden puts no pressure on them. Then they made their own ridiculous "counter bid of "take all offer nothing.

    Things Biden can do which American presidents have done in the past that directly stopped israel violating human rights:

    • Threaten to put sanctions on israel

    • Hold up the delivery of weapons and fighter jets

    • Remove israel’s loan guarantees.

      I love how you always make this Biden’s fault. Like the Middle East was calm until Biden made Israel invade Gaza. This crap has been going on for decades and you expect him to wave a magic wand and fix it? The whole region is a powder keg. Israel has its uses for the US and the government knows that.

        No, that’s literally what happened in the past. When Israel’s government didn’t want to stop, it was the US president of the time who stopped them. Even fucking Reagan did it.
