Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.
“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.
“I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end.”
This comment is so puerile. Joe Biden isn’t a king. Take it up with the vast majority of Americans who have been supporting Israel’s genocide.
2/3rds of America support a ceasefire. This isn’t the will of the majority. Just the will of the rich.
Joe Biden also supports a cease fire. He will LITERALLY do and say whatever is most popular, and he has been. That’s his entire schtick. Also, 2/3 of likely voters say they support Israel. Old people are despicable and this thread is a circle jerk.
If he did actually support a ceasefire, he would have enforced it. Israel is America’s proxy. Biden holds the cards here.
Biden. Will. Do. Whatever. Is. Popular. Regardless of his personal feelings on the matter. Get that through your thick fucking head.
The popular opinion is to force Israel to make a ceasefire agreement. Biden hasn’t done it though. So you’re wrong.
If young people voted there wouldn’t be a single Republican anywhere. But they don’t. So you get the government you deserve.
I’m not American.
And this isn’t exclusively a Republican issue. A lot of Democrats support the war to continue, despite something like 80% of Democratic voters supporting a ceasefire.
Biden also supports a ceasefire. The issue is that a more aggressive stance against Israel would either require an act of Congress or cost enormous political capital since centrist democrats (who are the majority of the actual voters) do not agree with young people that Israel is committing genocide. That’s because old people are horrible and dumb, but they’re also the only ones who vote in American elections, because young people are eager to offer opinions but never show up to vote.
You’re talking as if political donors and lobbies don’t exist.
They don’t care, they want to get Trump elected.
