CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org to World News@lemmy.world – 180 points – Netanyahu not doing enough to secure Gaza hostage deal, says Biden

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".

They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.

Hmmm, let's see, Netanyahu has been non-stop bombing Gaza since... last October.

It's almost October again. It's nearly been a full year since the actual initial attack.

There was never a justification to still be bombing nearly a year later after one attack.

It's clear Netanyahu has no intention to stop.

Man, I really wish I could have changed the headline. I'm going to get mostly comments like this, I think.

No hate, there's only so much time in a day to read Lemmy.

It's not your fault that all titles are now effectively clickbait. Thanks for putting the important info in the body of your post.

"after one attack" now that is thinking outside the box. I wonder why they build the iron dome.

I wonder why they attack?

It’s a natural right of all peoples to fight back against invaders and genociders.

He added that the US would not give up, and would "push as hard as we can" for a deal.

If denying future arms shipments isn't on the table then this statement is a lie

Hopefully, this means that Bibi repeatedly humiliating the US finally broke through the fucking insane inflexible support the US has had for Israel the past 40 years.

You’d think.

But Biden is still gargling those balls; and still hasn’t stopped weapons shipments.

Guess 4.2 million . Is a lot of loyalty.

If only Biden had some kind of leverage he could use on Bibi like putting conditions on arms exports oh wait he completely refuses to do that so this is just bs rhetoric

Yeah, I'm not sure what the plan is if they turn down the "final" offer. The last time the US bluffed, that I know of, was the red line in Syria, and that involved a place Americans don't care about, and would have involved another American war in the Middle East to respond to.

I find "China's final warning" and actual consequences for Israel equally unlikely. Is there a third option?

Yeah, I'm not sure what the plan is if they turn down the "final" offer.

You're not? The plan is to enable genocide no matter what.

He should pull the plug on the iron dome

He won't because he's a Zionist. Biden will literally spend the rest of his presidency helping Netanyahu help trump get elected

"You're not doing enough, so here's another 10 billion in arms funding. You have to spend that in America though because I am very upset with you Bibi."

I'm honestly seeing parallels to how Milosevic had a limit for how long he could delay a cease fire

Biden probably means that Netanyahu hasn't murdered enough children, and will follow up by sending more weapons.
