President Biden attended a fundraiser in San Francisco late Wednesday where protesters showed up calling for an end to US aid for Israel and a cease-fire in its ongoing war in Gaza.

    He’s been trying since the start.

    Biden also emphasized his view that “a military operation in Rafah just really cannot proceed without a credible and implementable plan for ensuring the safety of and support for the more than 1 million people that are now sheltering there,” the official said, adding that they simply had “nowhere to go.”

    Biden and his team have also been irritated by Netanyahu’s public rejections of a two-state solution, long a lynchpin of American policy in the region.

    The Biden administration has placed a particular premium on Israel reducing the number of civilian casualties in its military operations. The U.S. urging seemed to have some effect in recent days, as Israel began to withdraw some troops from northern Gaza and moved to a less-intensive campaign of airstrikes.

    Israel has been not just uncooperative, but also openly hostile toward some smaller American requests, such as when Blinken pressed Israel to turn over the tax revenue it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, which Israel has refused to do.

      He circumvented congress to sell Netanyahu weapons to be used for genocide, but trust us, he’s slightly miffed.

            I’m sure Biden is working tirelessly until the early bird special at cracker barrel to figure this all out. He won’t stop until dinner specials are half off.

      Biden knows he has the power to stop this. He stopped Netanyahu’a bombing in 2021 with one phone call.

      If he isn’t getting it stopped it’s because he doesn’t want it stopped. And that’s without even getting into the fact that he’s still sending them bombs. You’d think that would be the first thing to stop.

        Netty is an authoritarian so he knows squeezing bidens balls on this is a “victory” for himself regardless if Gaza is decimated
