We can reasonably count the amount of time since Biden approved the transfer of billions of dollars worth of jets and weapons to Israel in hours.
This was always going to be a genocide - it didn't take the weight US security apparatus to know this, but the US's active defence of Israel from supplying the weapons being used to carry out that genocide, to vetoing various UN security council resolutions relating to the genocide, to taking inadequate action too late, Biden and the US government broadly have actively aided this genocide.
Except when you look at the history of the ceasefire talks, it's very clear that Hamas has been advocating for a permanent ceasefire for months while Israel and the US have rejected them and called for only temporary ceasefires.
Israel does not want an unconditional ceasefire; prioritizing the continuation of its ethnic cleansing campaign over the safety of the Hostages and ending hostilities.
Hamas is not blowing up what little aid Israel lets through you dingus.
Biden admin is still playing patty-cakes with Israel, 6 months into the genocide. Putting pressure on Israel means cutting off the supply of weapons being used to implement the genocide, at a bare minimum, and we’ve seen absolutely none of that. In fact, Biden himself has circumvented Congress to send even more weapons to them.
Can you elaborate on what makes you think that's an appropriate thing to say to someone?
