I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

March 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and forcefully pressed Israel to increase the flow of aid to ease what she called "inhumane" conditions and a "humanitarian catastrophe" among the Palestinian people. Harris's comments were among the sharpest yet by a senior leader of the U.S. government calling for Israel to alleviate the conditions in Gaza.

Who the fuck is she calling to?

Biden went around Congress to support it, he's the only one that needs convinced.

Biden's voters don't want his level of unquestioning support of Israel.

But Biden still went around Congress to "sell" Israel weapons for their genocide.

Biden could stop that bullshit. And stop idling naval ships offshore. And then Israel will be open to peace talks.

If he keeps supporting them no matter what, then he has no leverage and they'll keep ignoring anything he has to say.

It's really not hard, have you never heard the word "complicit" before?

Basically the Americans are calling upon Hamas to accept the shitty deal that was already on the table.
