Obviously. But he’s the president, it’s not like he’s rudderless here.
A simple phone call “hey Netanyahu, it would be a real shame if I recalled all military ships protecting Israel in the midst of this escalating tension with Iran, wouldn’t it?” and you’d have Netanyahu groveling at his feet. The U.S. has *all the cards* in this relationship, but for some reason Biden refuses to play them.
I mean, that’s probably because Netanyahu is refusing a ceasefire and broadening the war in order to influence the election….
That isn’t his only motivation, of course, he also wants to further postpone his own criminal corruption trial. All that aside, there’s of course the base motivation that he quite simply does not want certain people to exist.
So… it’s kinda a constellation of things. All of them pretty awful.
Standard disclaimer here – I’m talking specifically about Netanyahu. Not the citizens of Israel, not Jews in general. Strictly Netanyahu. Let’s please move past calling anyone who dares to criticise the actions of Israel’s government anti-semitic.
While we’re at it, no, I don’t support Hamas. I don’t support Hezbollah.
Discuss.

Well we are 3 days from one year of conflict and the only thing Biden has done to reign in Israel are supposed stern talks. This is a problem of his own creation.

Misleading. The reporter asking the question was the person suggesting that.

>Israel ignored a U.S.-led initiative for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon before launching a ground invasion aimed at rooting out Hezbollah targets across the border.
Like how Iran waited until the day Reagan was sworn in to office to release the hostages.

Israel is refusing to agree to a ceasefire because once there’s a ceasefire, Netanyahu goes to prison.
It has nothing to do with our election, it’s just self-preservation.

After the election, if Kamala wins, we really need to reassess our relationship with that country. Maybe with Netanyahu gonna it would be productive, but who knows when that would happen?
>“No administration has helped Israel more than I have – none, none, none,” Mr. Biden said.
>“And I think Bibi [Mr. Netanyahu] should remember that, and whether he’s trying to influence the election, I don’t know, but I’m not counting on that.”
Reporters are desperate to create a story out of basically nothing, and Biden didn’t shoot it down. Saved everybody a click.

Aside from whether this is true (and I don’t rule it out), this headline is absolute trash given the video attached. The *reporter* suggested that Netanyahu is trying to influence the U.S. election. Biden said “whether he’s tried to influence the election, I don’t know, but I’m not counting on that.”
I mean, the sentence itself is hard to parse. It’s really unclear what Biden was saying, and he certainly didn’t bring it up.

It’s definitely possible. What’s Netanyahu after? What does a Trump presidency give him that a Biden one doesn’t?
Have we ever established a shady connection between the two?

I’m sure there is a secondary agenda and Netanyahu’s preferences are obvious. But more then that, this Israeli government are warmongers. They don’t want a ceasefire until they have taken all they can by force.

And yet people called my crazy when I told them this a month back. Saying I was ‘fear mongering’ to get people to vote for Harris. Like, fucking hell this man legit cried to Trump when Harris told him to get his shit together.

Maybe Israel hasn’t agreed to a ceasefire because Hamas never negotiates in good faith and have rejected many offers already, the terms Hamas agrees to have always been insane, and they’ve also currently got their enemies on the back foot? I dunno, just a guess.

Yes. Netanyahu wants a Trump Presidency, since Trump and Kushner are in favor of a full takeover of Gaza for the conversion to commercial real estate ventures.

So let’s get serious and hold some aid packages until they get reasonable. $8.5 billion in military aid the same week they invade Lebanon is a bad look.

Highly possible.
This Biden fellow might be on to something. If only he was president and had some sort of leverage not to play along with some wanker.
It’s almost like Israel is intentionally assassinating key officials that are working cease fire talks.

The U.S. has *all the cards* in this relationship, but for some reason Biden refuses to play them.
And, to get ahead of the “oh Biden *wants* to do XYZ but can’t because ABC reason,” that is very unlikely to be true. As VP Biden [thought Obama should be more pro-Isreal](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/biden-obama-divide-closely-support-israel-rcna127107), and Biden remains [the politician who has received the most money from AIPAC.](https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S) His refusal to hold Israel accountable isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.

There’s an easy way to combat that Mr. President.
And what are YOU doing?
Are you using ANY fucking leverage?
