I just do not get it. When I heard that Biden is sending 2000 pound bunker busting bombs to Israel, I was speechless. After Harris made it clear that the US must insist on a ceasefire for at least six weeks to get things moving on a two-state solution and now this. I thought the Biden's people knew what they were doing. We are doomed. Jews all over the world will be terrorized by angry people blaming them for the carnage in Gaza at the hands of a ruthless dictator Netanyahu. I was sympathetic to Biden's predicatment in trying to walk a fine line between powerful right wing pro Jewish donors and the majority of Americans who are appauled at the carnage in Gaza at the hands of the IDF. Biden will lose the election if he does not stand up to the Jewish right wing lobby in the US. I want to support him because Trump is a much greater threat to world peace than the things going on in Gaza. But at some point you have to ask why the carnage is still going on with weapons that we send to Israel. I am a Jew and want Israel to make peace with the Arabs or at least normalize relations. But with the monster Netanyahu in power, over 2 million Jewish settlers in the occuppied territories illegally, and a majority of Israelis supporting Netanyahu's genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, it seems unlikely that the war will end anytime soon. I am beginning to believe that maybe Biden is just not the man for the job of President for the first time. Please help me understand how this war in Gaza keeps going on with innocent civilians being killed, maimed, wounded and starved on a daily basis. If the people of Israel do not get rid of the murderer Netanyahu, the entire world will be against Israel and as Israel goes down, so does Biden and our freedom. I am angry at Biden and demand an explanation. But the Biden administration is silent. What can we do to stop the killing and to force Israel to accept that they are on a very wrong course that will help to support the rise of authoritarian regimes all over the world. If it happend in the US with a victory by Trump, then all is lost and we are royally screwed.
