Yes, Biden had 50% approval among democrats for his handling of the current conflict, and the majority of Republicans have always supportes Israel over Palestine.
Centralized autocratic government. Unilaterally funding genocide against the wishes of the people. That is fascism. That is what both sides of the aisle are doing in America today. Biden happens to be in the drivers seat today.
11,000 unaffiliated civilians murdered in 1.5 months and Netanyahu is loudly ramping up. Sounds like genocide to me.
Hamas is intentionally using Palestinian civilians as human shields, attacking Israel from populated areas.
And Israel has the munitions and ability to kill every Palestinian in a matter of weeks. If they wanted to genocide the Palestinians they could have already wiped them out.
Hamas will not. Hamas is firing long range rockets from within civilian infrastructure, and Hamas wants civilians to die by Israeli counterattacks. Hamas will never leave the human shield.
Hamas is not a rational entity that is fighting for the good of Palestinians, and trying to save as many of them as they can. Hamas’ only goal is the annihilation of all Jews, and the more Palestinians that die the better it is in Hamas’ mind.

The majority of Americans support Israel, so they are not acting against the interests or voice of their constituents.
Are you sure about that?
The majority of Americans are supporting the Palestinian genocide right now?
Every report I have heard is that Biden’s already abysmal approval rating TANKED the moment he started funding the genocide.
Last I checked, the average American is pretty anti-genocide.
Yes, Biden had 50% approval among democrats for his handling of the current conflict, and the majority of Republicans have always supportes Israel over Palestine.
Also not everyone agrees it’s a genocide.

So the only option is to murder the human shield.
11 thousand of them in 1.5 months in fact.
Well the other option is try and move ground troops in, which not only risks their lives, but the human shield is still risked.
Hamas ceasing to exist would prevent the civilian casualties though, but Hamas wants as many civilians as possible to die.
And given Israel has the ability to kill all 1 million of them in that time, they must really just be terrible at this genocide thing.
Or… you know… wait until they move away from the human shield.
Hamas will not. Hamas is firing long range rockets from within civilian infrastructure, and Hamas wants civilians to die by Israeli counterattacks. Hamas will never leave the human shield.
