Biden can just force a ceasefire any time he wants by just telling Israel he’ll cut off funding and arms and intel.
And if they don’t listen and try to do their thing (genocide) anyways while being completely cut off for months and months, well that will be when it might be okay to say “genocide Joe did eventually try to rein it in a little”.
It’s not up to Biden, he’s just the representative.
The bourgeoisie are all behind Israel. Find me a corporation that puts up both Ukraine and Palestinian flags. You can’t.
The bourgeoisie want a war and Biden will give it to them. If not, they will find someone else who does.
I continue to be baffled by people here who think the voters somehow decide the election. No, this is a bourgeois democracy. The bourgeoisie decide who gets to run the country. Voters have no say in it whatsoever.
Find me a corporation that puts up both Ukraine and Palestinian flags. You can’t.
Not a corporation, but I did see an apartment above a corner store that had flags in every window. Palestinian, Ukrainian, that red and white Belorussian flag, Western Saharah.
Least confused flag haver.
The bourgeoisie want a war and Biden will give it to them. If not, they will find someone else who does.
If you’re president and the bourgeoisie ask you to support a genocide, the bare minimum response is to refuse and dare them to JFK you. Even if Biden was personally opposed to this (and he isn’t), he’d get no credit for spinelessly caving.
While the bourgeoisie are of course the ruling class, and this includes power over the state, the mechanisms they use allow for someone like Biden to easily do what I mentioned. His rabid Zionism is a major factor in how this is playing out. Biden the rabid Zionist is in office because of the bourgeoisie, as an example for how they exert power. But he could withhold much from the Israeli project and only a minority of the ruling class would whine about it - those with major investments in Israel.
That’s why he’s the president.
100%
He probably is substituting a ‘pause’ by calling it ceasefire + I don’t believe him+ will probably send more arms + another 20 billion to Israel when this cools down. There is literally no reason to believe his words besides copium at this point, hes done zilch so far. he’s worried about how this looks to the world, and his election chances.
You just fucking sent them f-35s and bombs you sack of shit.
Love to call for an end to drunk driving while I crack my 5th beer doing 90 in a 65.
That’s a little rude for an April fool’s joke
Prediction - within the next ~24 hours before the Friday night news dump obscures interest - Hillary is going to go out of her way to “incidentally” make a comment she knows it will be recorded and disseminated. She’s going to say something like “First, more must be done to pressure Hamas. A ceasefire is premature.”
It’s HER turn
“Let me also say that as much as I admire and respect Joe Biden in regards to Israel - if I had been elected president in 2016 as I should have…”
if I had been elected president in 2016 as I should have
She would have botched covid as well and lost to Trump or worse in 2020.
and lost to Trump or worse in 2020
“I cheated my ass off; no way i lost fair and square”
Great! Now just ban weapons exports to Israel effective immediately, as a demonstration of intent.

Palestinian children die by the thousands? Not gonna call it
Arab journalists targeted by snipers? Not gonna call it
Palestinians starving to death? Not gonna call it
Hospitals obliterated while occupied? Not gonna call it
White aid workers? CEASEFIRE! One of them was white British and another was a white Australian! Israel you have gone too far!
Lol and it’s still performative. He hasn’t done a damn thing to stifle support.
For four years the people who voted for Joe Biden have seen him “call for” universal healthcare, a (conditional) ceasefire, etc. You’re the fucking president, do something about it! He is going to lose.
He would be going to lose in a free and fair election
Western arithmetic: 7 caucasoid lives > tens of thousands of nonwestern lives
The west being the west
The official whitehouse briefing said that he ‘underscored’ that a ceasefire would improve things and urged them to negotiate, and it wasn’t conditional. I can’t wait for someone to tell me to vote for biden because he called for a ceasefire.
I sincerely do hope this changes things in a material way for Palestinian people, even though I’m fully expecting to be disappointed.
I’ll believe it when Palestine is free (or when the weapons’ shipments stop, at the very least).

I wonder what the current status is this bullshit is…
Joe Biden Is Shipping Weapons to Israel Every 36 Hours
2024/03/13
The Biden administration has been able to maintain a low profile by spreading arms provision to Israel across more than 100 smaller munitions sales — allowing the president to posture as a peacekeeper while US weapons wipe Gaza off the map.
Guess they harvested enough adrenochrome from Palestinian bodies to keep Joe alive through November, so he can call for a ceasefire now
