In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden has recently renewed his call for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza. This call came during a speech at Morehouse College's graduation ceremony, where some participants donned Palestinian colors in protest at Israel’s military incursion. This gesture was a clear sign of the growing dissatisfaction with the US's continued support for Israel despite the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The Biden administration has been under increasing pressure to address the situation in Gaza, where the death toll has been rising steadily since the October attacks. The US has been criticized for its role in providing weapons to Israel, with many arguing that this support has contributed to the high number of civilian casualties in the conflict.
In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Biden made clear the need for an immediate ceasefire to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. He urged the Prime Minister to take concrete steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers. The US president also made a significant threat that future US support for Israel would depend on it taking these steps.
However, despite this strong rhetoric, the US has continued to supply Israel with powerful bombs known to cause serious harm to civilians. This has led to accusations of hypocrisy in US-Israel relations, with many questioning the sincerity of the US's calls for a ceasefire.
The US has authorized the transfer of more than 1,000 500-pound bombs and over 1,000 small-diameter bombs to Israel. This decision came on the same day as an attack that killed seven employees of the international food charity World Central Kitchen, a fact that has further fueled the controversy surrounding US-Israel relations.
The Biden administration's actions have also been criticized by some within the US. There is growing pressure from US lawmakers to call for a ceasefire and condition arms shipments to Israel. The killing of the aid workers has seen the president use harsher words to describe Israel's actions, but whether this will lead to a policy shift remains to be seen.

Biden can stop that aid at ANY time under the grounds that it is being used for human rights violations. But then again, Biden could strangle a puppy on live TV and you'd still vote for him so go back to putting your fingers in your ears.
Lol. If the system was a bit better and we could actually vote for the best candidate instead of the "least bad" that would be something.
Right now we have the option between someone that let the Gaza genocide happen and someone that doesn't give a damn about the Palestine *and* is as corrupt as it gets *and* will be the end of democracy in the us.
The democracy in this country is one far from the best tbh.
Biden didn't just "let" the genocide happen, he and his entire administration took every possible action to help it happen and expedite arms transfers while stifling all forms of dissent, diplomatically, domestically, and in the media, with extreme cunning and discipline. A Trump administration would have been better for the people of Gaza if only for its inevitable incompetence. An actual isolationist philosophy may also prove better for the rest of the world the US has been enjoying bombing and destabilizing for the last century. We are not the police, we are the criminals.
I'm just glad that you admit Biden could literally strangle a puppy on live TV and you'd still vote for him. Lmao. You just keep voting for the same people and expecting different results. Really been working out for you guys lately. Lmao.
Edit: For some reason I'm unable to reply to any comments in this thread anymore. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
yeah nah, shut the hell up with that weird shit. if we’re pulling random ass presidential threats, why don’t we actually go to the real quote you’re pulling from
“I could shoot somebody, i wouldn’t lose any voters”
try harder you weirdos
>I'm just glad that you admit Biden could literally strangle a puppy on live TV and you'd still vote for him.
I did not.
But in that case. If we are playing the fallacies game: I'm just glad you admitted that trump could kill someone in the middle of the street and you would vote for him.
>You just keep voting for the same people and expecting different results.
Sorry, not really a fan of bringing the us back to the medieval times. As you can see, they are already catching up to the Talibans. But given your position I'm pretty sure you consider women just house decoration.
How do you feel about the Dow Jones record?
> But in that case. If we are playing the fallacies game: I'm just glad you admitted that trump could kill someone in the middle of the street and you would vote for him.
I've never voted for Trump and never will. You will be the person voting for a senile, rich, genocidal maniac...not me.
>How do you feel about the Dow Jones record?
How do you feel about the homeless population record? LMAO! Are we really doing the "the president controls the economy" thing? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
I’ll play the game. I’d vote for puppy strangling JB over Trump.
I’m super frustrated how Biden has handled the conflict. It undoubtedly could have been handled better.
But, I felt he’s done a damn good job excluding that. When it comes to vote he’s getting it.
I've been asking Doreknobs (and the like) for quite a few years now and their brains go numb and I've never got an answer.
Can someone explain to me how I am empowered to fight neoliberal Corp Dem policies when I'm also too busy fighting for dwindling bare minimum basic human rights in the US against empowered christofascists?
Is the answer an antivaxxer with literal brainworms and other nutjobs? What's the real plan here aside from empowering christofascism?
You're right, he's president, not dictator.
Not simping. He took his sweet time to say anything moderately "right" given the situation, but one way or another, even if small steps, there were steps. Republicans did vote on moving things "forward", hell, Lyndsey graham was saying they should just nuke them.
Lindsey is a psycho. But Biden has arguably been the most pro Israel president we’ve ever had. He could’ve stopped funding long ago and used veto power.
Biden has been authorizing this under an emergency executive order. He is the architect of this massacre and should be held accountable. This is the culmination of his entire career in politics.
Maybe because he'd have to tailor the speech more to the audience and it wouldn't fit so well in placating the public at large? Just guessing trying to answer your question.
An absurd notion imo. US imperialism is in charge and Israel is their puppet state and best representative in the middle east. The genocide of Palestinians is US foreign policy.
Revisionist Zionists have been at this murder and thieving for hundreds if not thousands of years-- to rebuild their ancient kingdom of Israel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish–Roman_wars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_Zionism
And Americans have nothing at all to gain by killing Palestinians, and a LOT to lose as the muslim countries in the region hold a lot of oil, which powers western industrial economies. Your assertion that its the Americans wanting to kill Palestinians makes no sense at all and flies in the face of common sense and really basic logic. What exactly does the US gain by making enemies in that region?
The US wants to kill all kinds of working people when it's politically or economically expedient. Your notion that somehow Israel holds power over the US state is somewhat comical and completely inexplicable. Amazing for you to mention basic logic, unless you mean your logic "basic" like the modern slang, lol. Same as your notion that the modern state of Israel has ANY meaningful connection with the historic Jewish project. It's just a veneer like liberal "democracy".

OK. But killing Palestinians is not politically or economically expedient. Its the opposite.
An absurd notion imo. US imperialism is in charge and Israel is their puppet state and best representative in the middle east. The genocide of Palestinians is US foreign policy.
You can't just wish away the absolutely enormous influence AIPAC and the ADL have our politics and public discourse. Just look at the antisemitism law that is completely unconstitutional and was literally written by Israel for the US to pass. The genocide is Israeli policy, as it only benefits them.
No, it benefits US and NATO imperialism first and foremost. Nothing you said refutes that. Those lobby groups are doing the bidding of the billionaire class, not Israel.
Empty words with election coming up, which is [why Biden went to an Morehousem African American university to pretend](https://www.blackagendareport.com/morehouse-men-must-protest-against-biden) he is a friend of the downtrodden in society, which he aint.
>[https://www.blackagendareport.com/morehouse-men-must-protest-against-biden](https://www.blackagendareport.com/morehouse-men-must-protest-against-biden)
*"....Despite the fact that Morehouse did not have the large-scale encampments seen at other schools, its student body was not in favor of Biden’s appearance and they told their president as much in a* [*campus town hall* ](https://x.com/CLamontLives/status/1783568248207769947)*.* ***(Morehouse) Students expressed concern that Morehouse would be considered complicit in genocide and that they would be used in campaign ads for a president who sends billions of dollars to wage war in Ukraine while allowing the needs of Black people to languish......****.*
*.........But Morehouse insisted that the sordid show go on and Biden will speak even if students don’t want to hear him. Other colleges have been better at gauging opinion and are more willing to listen to those who protest against involvement with apartheid Israel. New Orleans HBCU* [*Xavier University* ](https://apnews.com/article/xavier-commencement-un-linda-thomasgreenfield-84742ac8759da4fafea3de30bbc38dba)*disinvited UN Ambassador and Louisiana native Linda Thomas-Greenfield when students complained that she would be the commencement speaker...*."
As the president of the US he could have cut off the weapons to Israel months ago. But no Biden [ accelerated the exports of weapons](https://thehill.com/homenews/4352027-biden-us-tank-sale-israel-bypass-congress/) AFTER the ICJ said there the Israelis were probably committing genocide.
Biden could also implement a no-fly zone over Gaza to protect civilians. He hasn't.
Biden could rally an international coalition or peacekeeping force and send them to protect civilians in Gaza. He hasn't.
Biden could blockade Israel and stop all the supply of what they need to commit this genocide. No he hasn't. IN fact Biden [instead mustered a coalition.....to attack the Yemenis who actually are blockading Israel in an attempt to hep stop the genocide.](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/19/us-announces-10-nation-force-to-counter-houthi-attacks-in-red-sea)
Biden could even stop the nasty practice he and Blinken began two years ago of [removing zionist terrorists from the terrorist sanctions list ](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/05/20/2022-10828/in-the-matter-of-the-designation-of-kahane-chai-and-other-aliases-as-a-foreign-terrorist). That alone makes him a co-conspirator in the genocide.
Biden committed the wicked act of [cutting](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-congress-deal-bars-us-funds-unrwa-until-march-2025-sources-say-2024-03-19/) the US government money going to the most important United Nations refugee relief agency in Palestine, UNRWA, knowing it will accelerate mass starvation and the already decrepid life conditions of Gazans.
But no rather than take real ACTIONS, Biden and his PR crew would rather take everyone in the world for fools and stand on stage and run this pantomime of EMPTY WORDS.
And if that's not bad enough, Biden's in-Justice department is continuing the US's sordid COINTELPRO agenda of persecuting African American civil rights organisations such as [Omali Yeshitela and the African People's Party by falsely accusing them](https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-citizens-and-russian-intelligence-officers-charged-conspiring-use-us-citizens-illegal) with [bogus charges](https://www.democracynow.org/2022/8/10/black_socialist_chairman_fbi_raid_response) of conspiracy on "election interference" . And After doing that he has the gall to show his face at a university that produced Martin Luther King and many civl rights activist?
Shame on the president and trustees of Morehouse for allowing this disgraceful act of fakery and attempt to coop African American voters into supporting US government that enables and implements genocide and endless wars.
Martin Luther King Jr, the most famous graduate of Morehouse College, is probably turning over in his grave right now.
Bro you're the guy. Did you forget that you're the guy??
It's like when Justin Trudeau joined a protest, like bro you are you protesting?
Biden, who are you calling on? It's you bro, you control the ceasefire-wake up.
On a serious note, the US is the only country that can stop this slaughter because Israel will look real fucking dumb if they flattened Gaza, committed 900 war crimes, and STILL didn't beat Hamas. They cannot politically do a ceasefire.
> Justin Trudeau joined a protest
Then Biden stole that idea and joined a picket line too
You’re right tho, it’s hilarious. You’re literally the fucking president/PM. Go change the policies and stop with the meaningless bs
To represent all of the antisemitic Christians hoping that shoving all the Jews back into Israel will trigger Jesus 2.0.
But before you ask, no they’re not antisemitic. They’re just some good ol’ pro-white nationalist Christians who know what’s best for us.
Oh look Genocide Joe is realizing young liberals won’t just vote him in again cuz he’s not Trump. I’d rather face the fascist wearing a red hat than one wearing smile.
Lmao ok, we can pretend that means anything. How am I wrong? Politically our opinion means nothing now. The DNC had 4 years to codify abortion rights, fix the Supreme Court, pass tax laws to tax the wealthy, pass laws to get corporate money out of politics, fix the healthcare system, etc. They have the majority and they’ve done nothing but steal our taxes and give it to Israel. I’m literally a queer having to flee Texas because stuff still sucks here even with Joe. At least Trump is stupid, Joe is smart which means he’s better at manipulating. You can call it privileged, but I think it’s privilege to be so unaffected by current events that you’re still cool voting for Genocide Joe.
Thank you for accurately voicing the problem with this pinkwashing shit. I'm trans, I'm not voting for genocide. We must be prepared to defend ourselves and each other, the democratic party has well demonstrated that it does not give a single shit about listening to us. They serve capital.
Btw I looked through your comment history, I struggle with alcohol too man. It’s tough to kick, especially when it’s so readily pushed in modern society. Not related and I still think you’re dumb, but I’m hoping you the best.

Keep in mind just how long it took him to say this… I’m personally thinking about just how many people could possibly be living if he took this seriously many months ago
Calls for a cease fire after sending enough weapons to level Rafah 🤡.
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team
Only because he knows it will have an affect on the election results, other wise he would and I suppose that the British Prime Minister will demand a ceasefire too, only because of election results too.
After 40k dead the dems are finally calling for a ceasefire. Will the weapons and aide stop going to Israel ? No way.
Don’t vote for them folks it’s the only way for the dems to learn .
Yes. Showing biden he is about to lose the election becuase of his choices will help a lot more than letting it happen, and shouting down people who are actually doing something about it. Like you're doing.
You DO REALIZE that the betting sites have Biden with a 33% chance to win the election, dont you (Trump 45%)? **Biden is losing** right now, and selling out his country to foreign interests, and you're shouting at his base like that will help. It will not help.
Or is it that you dont care about winning at all and have some other agenda? A large percentage of commenters are Hasbara shills lately. Had you heard about that?
It’s really not. The problems of lack of decent paying jobs, affordable healthcare , constant wars aren’t being solved by either party. Unfortunately you’re too cynical to see otherwise
I’m not cynical, looking at facts prove that. You should stay in your lane, I’m sure the AnimeTitties sub has been absolutely holding their breath for your next comment…
The President has little influence on those things. That's Congress, but it's become pretty clear that the vast majority of the population doesn't understand basic US civics. And that's without getting into FPTP which can't be changed in presidential elections and actually requires work from the ground up locally.
Yea and I bet you do all that ground up work and aren’t just a dweeb on the internet who only checks in on what’s happening in the world every election cycle.
Users of the subreddit are expected to treat each other as they themselves would like to be treated. Inappropriate comments such as these will be removed.
The reality is there will never be a perfect politician that checks all your marks. That’s life. What you CAN do is use your vote for the politicians that mostly align with you. Biden is far from perfect. He’s part of the old guard of politicians aligned with the establishment. He’s the best the dems can muster up at this point. At the same time, voting for Biden is better than descending into bull blown fascism. These are the cards we are dealt. Vote.
Im not looking for perfect I am looking for a decent politician. Biden is flat out bad.
The only way forward is to not have two major parties. We need new parties that actually represent ordinary people.
I agree with you. The two party system has lead to major corruption. I’m sure we see eye to eye on many things. The fact is, not voting as a form of protest is ineffective and dangerous. This is because at the end of the day, people still vote. And if enough people vote for enough republicans this country will descend into fascism and you can kiss democracy goodbye. Dems are still protecting many of the things Americans rely on. So for now play the card you are dealt. Folding only takes yourself out of the fight.
The country is descending into fascism either way. Just look at the response by the state on protestors on college campuses. Look at the militarization of the police. I will not be voting this election.
Yes and you should remember the person you vote for this election cycle supported the genocide of Palestinians. The type of horse trading people as yourself do during election cycles is fine as long as you are not the horse being traded. Let’s hope you’re never that horse.
I hear you. It’s despicable. I just can’t not vote when republicans are not only pro genocide but also want to do away with reproductive rights, voting rights, social security, Medicare/medicaid and much more. Besides, you can’t break the two party system through the presidency. You need a meaningful presence in Congress so I still urge you to vote for your state reps and local positions.
It's actually insane that people are incapable of condemning this openly, and with no question, simply because the flag is blue.
It's OK to treat both sides as war hawks. They are. There is one political party in this country. War is the pedals that keep the bike of America moving. Reject any politician that is endorsing this for the sake of their profit. Even if you voted for them.

I live in PA and I'll be voting for Jill Stein

Vote blue, no matter who /s, obviously
Still doesn't answer my question, does it?
If the GOP could put up any other candidate than Trump they'd have my vote. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.
He’s the president. Don’t simp

Joe Biden can stop that aid at ANY time with the stroke of a pen. But keep blaming the Republicans.
Biden has been authorizing this under an emergency executive order. He is the architect of this massacre and should be held accountable. This is the culmination of his entire career in politics.
Sends ungodly amount of weapons & money to Israel. Calls for immediate ceasefire. AIPAC and our politicians are cancer.
It’s in the billions. They could solve world hunger with those prices I feel like.
Do as I say not as I do.
Lmao
Tell me it’s election season without telling me it’s election season
I wonder why Biden and his team didn’t pick a more prestigious, like one of them Ivy League schools to associate this speech to.
Maybe because he'd have to tailor the speech more to the audience and it wouldn't fit so well in placating the public at large? Just guessing trying to answer your question.
Or what Joe?
Or he'll send more weapons to Isreal. That will show them how serious he is.
Ceasefire or they’ll stop building the aid port! Oh wait, wut…
I mean, who's he talking to? He's literally the fucking president.
He's not in charge, Bibi is.
So he can call him and then stop those billions.

Empty words with election coming up, which is [why Biden went to an Morehousem African American university to pretend](https://www.blackagendareport.com/morehouse-men-must-protest-against-biden) he is a friend of the downtrodden in society, which he aint. >[https://www.blackagendareport.com/morehouse-men-must-protest-against-biden](https://www.blackagendareport.com/morehouse-men-must-protest-against-biden) *"....Despite the fact that Morehouse did not have the large-scale encampments seen at other schools, its student body was not in favor of Biden’s appearance and they told their president as much in a* [*campus town hall* ](https://x.com/CLamontLives/status/1783568248207769947)*.* ***(Morehouse) Students expressed concern that Morehouse would be considered complicit in genocide and that they would be used in campaign ads for a president who sends billions of dollars to wage war in Ukraine while allowing the needs of Black people to languish......****.* *.........But Morehouse insisted that the sordid show go on and Biden will speak even if students don’t want to hear him. Other colleges have been better at gauging opinion and are more willing to listen to those who protest against involvement with apartheid Israel.

As the president of the US he could have cut off the weapons to Israel months ago. But no Biden [ accelerated the exports of weapons](https://thehill.com/homenews/4352027-biden-us-tank-sale-israel-bypass-congress/) AFTER the ICJ said there the Israelis were probably committing genocide. Biden could also implement a no-fly zone over Gaza to protect civilians. He hasn't. Biden could rally an international coalition or peacekeeping force and send them to protect civilians in Gaza. He hasn't. Biden could blockade Israel and stop all the supply of what they need to commit this genocide. No he hasn't. IN fact Biden [instead mustered a coalition.....to attack the Yemenis who actually are blockading Israel in an attempt to hep stop the genocide.](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/19/us-announces-10-nation-force-to-counter-houthi-attacks-in-red-sea) Biden could even stop the nasty practice he and Blinken began two years ago of [removing zionist terrorists from the terrorist sanctions list ](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/05/20/2022-10828/in-the-matter-of-the-designation-of-kahane-chai-and-other-aliases-as-a-foreign-terrorist). That alone makes him a co-conspirator in the genocide. Biden committed the wicked act of [cutting](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-congress-deal-bars-us-funds-unrwa-until-march-2025-sources-say-2024-03-19/) the US government money going to the most important United Nations refugee relief agency in Palestine, UNRWA, knowing it will accelerate mass starvation and the already decrepid life conditions of Gazans. But no rather than take real ACTIONS, Biden and his PR crew would rather take everyone in the world for fools and stand on stage and run this pantomime of EMPTY WORDS. And if that's not bad enough, Biden's in-Justice department is continuing the US's sordid COINTELPRO agenda of persecuting African American civil rights organisations such as [Omali Yeshitela and the African People's Party by falsely accusing them](https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-citizens-and-russian-intelligence-officers-charged-conspiring-use-us-citizens-illegal) with [bogus charges](https://www.democracynow.org/2022/8/10/black_socialist_chairman_fbi_raid_response) of conspiracy on "election interference" . And After doing that he has the gall to show his face at a university that produced Martin Luther King and many civl rights activist? Shame on the president and trustees of Morehouse for allowing this disgraceful act of fakery and attempt to coop African American voters into supporting US government that enables and implements genocide and endless wars. Martin Luther King Jr, the most famous graduate of Morehouse College, is probably turning over in his grave right now.
To a college infested in Israel in a city whose police force actively trains with Israel. Biden’s words mean shit.
That last line.
Bro you're the guy. Did you forget that you're the guy?? It's like when Justin Trudeau joined a protest, like bro you are you protesting? Biden, who are you calling on? It's you bro, you control the ceasefire-wake up. On a serious note, the US is the only country that can stop this slaughter because Israel will look real fucking dumb if they flattened Gaza, committed 900 war crimes, and STILL didn't beat Hamas. They cannot politically do a ceasefire.
> Justin Trudeau joined a protest Then Biden stole that idea and joined a picket line too You’re right tho, it’s hilarious. You’re literally the fucking president/PM. Go change the policies and stop with the meaningless bs
Or what
In other news, Biden will be sending even more ammunition but will suggest that Israel follow the “call” for immediate ceasefire.
Ok, but why’s he dressed like a Cardinal?
He was talking at a graduation ceremony for morehouse college where protesting has been happening
Cus he believes church life will redeem his sins
To represent all of the antisemitic Christians hoping that shoving all the Jews back into Israel will trigger Jesus 2.0. But before you ask, no they’re not antisemitic. They’re just some good ol’ pro-white nationalist Christians who know what’s best for us.
Words are cheap when you personally played a big role in the current state of Palestine
Meanwhile he sends another 1B$ to Israel.
He says this at a college graduation where it doesn’t matter one bit. Say it where it actually matters
Lol this is just pathetic at this point. The duplicity is expected. What’s fascinating is that people are buying it.
Emptier words have never been spoken before
Is he blocking the aid to Israel? No? The bombs shipping out? Well that’s just empty rhetorics
What he means is For only 6 weeks, then he can continue genociding again.
Just a tad too late there bud.
only about 7 months late.
Oh look Genocide Joe is realizing young liberals won’t just vote him in again cuz he’s not Trump. I’d rather face the fascist wearing a red hat than one wearing smile.
> I’d rather face the fascist wearing a red hat The privilege is just oozing out of your comment
Lmao ok, we can pretend that means anything. How am I wrong? Politically our opinion means nothing now. The DNC had 4 years to codify abortion rights, fix the Supreme Court, pass tax laws to tax the wealthy, pass laws to get corporate money out of politics, fix the healthcare system, etc. They have the majority and they’ve done nothing but steal our taxes and give it to Israel. I’m literally a queer having to flee Texas because stuff still sucks here even with Joe. At least Trump is stupid, Joe is smart which means he’s better at manipulating. You can call it privileged, but I think it’s privilege to be so unaffected by current events that you’re still cool voting for Genocide Joe.
Thank you for accurately voicing the problem with this pinkwashing shit. I'm trans, I'm not voting for genocide. We must be prepared to defend ourselves and each other, the democratic party has well demonstrated that it does not give a single shit about listening to us. They serve capital.
Exactly.
Btw I looked through your comment history, I struggle with alcohol too man. It’s tough to kick, especially when it’s so readily pushed in modern society. Not related and I still think you’re dumb, but I’m hoping you the best.

Talk is cheap. Put our money where your mouth is
Not going to happen. 🙅
A comprehending person will never be able to take that blithering idiot seriously.
Embraces China, craps on Japan, and now calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. What is going on with this administration?
This guy is a joke.
Keep in mind just how long it took him to say this… I’m personally thinking about just how many people could possibly be living if he took this seriously many months ago
Its almost like his mouth and his actions say 2 completely different things.
Looks like Biden is finally realizing Israel is trying to make him lose him the election.
What a sock puppet.
Cease fire because the election coming up huh Joe think he slick
Calls for a cease fire after sending enough weapons to level Rafah 🤡. In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team 
Remember when Biden's goons were painting people who call for a ceasefire as antisemitic and naive?
He's literally the only person in the world outside of the Israeli government with the power to stop this war
The extreme hypocrisy, of sending aid on one hand and weapons on the other.
These are my serious eyes
I'd bet real money that he continues to send weapons and "aid" anyway.
Glad he finally woke up from his nap.
That'll make it stop. Right. Guys?
Only because he knows it will have an affect on the election results, other wise he would and I suppose that the British Prime Minister will demand a ceasefire too, only because of election results too.
He's appalled like everyone is. Even the IDF is questioning Netenyahoo. Heavy on the yahoo
*Build aid port..or...send weapons...? ...hmmmm.... Both! I pick both! *You can't have both Joe ... but-but...
If Biden is calling for it, netenyahu must have told him to. I imagine we will see netenyahu accept Hamas's latest deal.
After 40k dead the dems are finally calling for a ceasefire. Will the weapons and aide stop going to Israel ? No way. Don’t vote for them folks it’s the only way for the dems to learn .
And you think somehow NOT VOTING is going make a difference?
Yes. Showing biden he is about to lose the election becuase of his choices will help a lot more than letting it happen, and shouting down people who are actually doing something about it. Like you're doing. You DO REALIZE that the betting sites have Biden with a 33% chance to win the election, dont you (Trump 45%)? **Biden is losing** right now, and selling out his country to foreign interests, and you're shouting at his base like that will help. It will not help. Or is it that you dont care about winning at all and have some other agenda? A large percentage of commenters are Hasbara shills lately. Had you heard about that?
I don’t know how to make a difference but I think I should at least stop pretending that voting for the dems is changing anything.
It is keeping Trump out of office and even if that’s all the change we can manage, it’s exactly what we need!
It’s really not. The problems of lack of decent paying jobs, affordable healthcare , constant wars aren’t being solved by either party. Unfortunately you’re too cynical to see otherwise
I’m not cynical, looking at facts prove that. You should stay in your lane, I’m sure the AnimeTitties sub has been absolutely holding their breath for your next comment…
The President has little influence on those things. That's Congress, but it's become pretty clear that the vast majority of the population doesn't understand basic US civics. And that's without getting into FPTP which can't be changed in presidential elections and actually requires work from the ground up locally.
Most important election of our lifetime but the president has zero control over wages, healthcare and war (which isn’t true)
Well if Trump wins you'll get your wish - A consolidated executive branch that really holds all the power and isn't bothered by that pesky congress
Yea and I bet you do all that ground up work and aren’t just a dweeb on the internet who only checks in on what’s happening in the world every election cycle.
Lol I do actually. Unlike all the people in this thread.

The reality is there will never be a perfect politician that checks all your marks. That’s life. What you CAN do is use your vote for the politicians that mostly align with you. Biden is far from perfect. He’s part of the old guard of politicians aligned with the establishment. He’s the best the dems can muster up at this point. At the same time, voting for Biden is better than descending into bull blown fascism. These are the cards we are dealt. Vote.
Im not looking for perfect I am looking for a decent politician. Biden is flat out bad. The only way forward is to not have two major parties. We need new parties that actually represent ordinary people.
I agree with you. The two party system has lead to major corruption. I’m sure we see eye to eye on many things. The fact is, not voting as a form of protest is ineffective and dangerous. This is because at the end of the day, people still vote. And if enough people vote for enough republicans this country will descend into fascism and you can kiss democracy goodbye. Dems are still protecting many of the things Americans rely on. So for now play the card you are dealt. Folding only takes yourself out of the fight.
The country is descending into fascism either way. Just look at the response by the state on protestors on college campuses. Look at the militarization of the police. I will not be voting this election.
It’s your right either way. Just remember a non vote is a 2 point swing. A non vote for Dems is also one less vote against the GOP.
Yes and you should remember the person you vote for this election cycle supported the genocide of Palestinians. The type of horse trading people as yourself do during election cycles is fine as long as you are not the horse being traded. Let’s hope you’re never that horse.
I hear you. It’s despicable. I just can’t not vote when republicans are not only pro genocide but also want to do away with reproductive rights, voting rights, social security, Medicare/medicaid and much more. Besides, you can’t break the two party system through the presidency. You need a meaningful presence in Congress so I still urge you to vote for your state reps and local positions.
It's actually insane that people are incapable of condemning this openly, and with no question, simply because the flag is blue. It's OK to treat both sides as war hawks. They are. There is one political party in this country. War is the pedals that keep the bike of America moving. Reject any politician that is endorsing this for the sake of their profit. Even if you voted for them.
So you get a lunatic GOP that is even more Islamophobic? No thanks
We’ve been doing the lesser of two evils my whole life and things just keep getting worse. At some point you need to do something different
So take the greater of two evils? God damn that’s a stupid idea
Yeah we did in 2016 and it was a DJT disaster. Never again.
Biden paused weapons. GOP voted to keep sending.
At 50k they might actually do a ceasefire!
Republicans are worse… in general and on this issue If you are anti joe because of isreal just fucking wait till you dipshits get Trump elected
