    Turn up the pressure, Biden. Don’t just give sweet words to Americans as you send bombs to Israel. You cannot have your genocide and a popular approval rating at the same time.

    End the genocide. End support of Israel.

    The UN passed a resolution for an immediate ceasefire like a week ago…

    It did as much as Biden’s hollow words will now.

    Cut of all aid and weapons sales to Israel and they might listen, anything else won’t do anything

      I think the problem is that US invested heavily in Israel for many decads so its very difficult to do something that could result in Israel switching alliance

        You have that backwards. AIPAC has invested in US politicians for decades. The money we send there comes right back into our politician’s pockets. Biden received the most at 5 million to his campaigns.

        Then there are weapons PACs. Military-Industrial Complex has every establishment politician by their grey, short, and curlies.

        Fuck this world. Fuck the USA. Fuck Israel. Fuck this aggression on Palestinian civilians.

            Saudi, Jordan and Egypt have been far better than israel. They host tonnes of American bases, are far more controllable and don’t try to bomb Iranian embassies to start World War 3.

                America doesn’t want war with Iran.

                Israel is trying to escalate their war and involve America. Especially Netanyahu who is looking stay at war as long as possible

                By bombing the Iranian embassy and committing other grave war crimes Iran will have to respond. At which point israel calls big brother Joe Biden to “defend them” against Iran. Thus dragging America into World War 3.

                  America doesn’t want war with Iran.

                  That’s the funniest shit I’ve heard all week!

                  America has been saber rattling at Iran since the assassination of Mosadegh.

                  They propped up Sadam Hussein to fight a bloody proxy war against them, and then turned on him when he demanded reparations.
