Because I think the US president shouldn't be aiding a genocide? I didn't realise this was such a big ask. Upset that I can't "have it all" as if this is me wanting to not have to pay taxes or something.
I agree he's helped with aid. Also helped create the need for the aid though so it undermines it somewhat.
Followed by
How about: "Israel, open the fucking crossings, remove the protesters and stop arbitrarily delaying aid into Gaza otherwise there will be no more arms and we will delay aid to you until the problem is fixed."
"We will stop providing cover for you at the UN if you don't fix this problem immediately."
Many similar things. He has leverage he is not using over the people who are primarily responsible for this issue.
I don't expect Biden to do it all but he's been trying to convince them to not be monsters for 7 months now and it isn't going so well. He needs to step it up.
