Biden's patience with Netanyahu is creating a rupture in Biden's support in this country. The 2024 election is way too important to continue to "stand shoulder to shoulder" with a government in the process of indiscriminately killing innocents, no matter the support in Congress for such a position. Not to mention that supporting Israel at this point is tantamount to condoning that killing. Break it off - NOW!
Well said, Israel's genocidal rampage threatens not just Biden's Election and the Democratic parties coalition - and so a return of the GOP to the white house, but also NATO as an alliance, since the majority of NATO is calling for a Ceasefire.
Still despite these signs of "losing patience" Biden is giving Israel basically unlimited access to arms, which they certainty do not need, and so directly fueling the genocide
@MattMerk you can see it in Biden starting to use stronger and more skeptical language when talking about Netanyahu's actions.
I think we're going to see the centrists and liberals distance themselves from him, specifically, as a way to put pressure on Israel to moderate its actions.
This is good; Netanyahu must be removed if there is any hope for peace.
@tess 100% yes on removing Bibi, but I have to ask, what makes you think the centrist/liberal faction is moving at all on this? I'm not saying I disagree. I just haven't personally seen any real change with those people.
CNN is still the centrist news site. And Biden has changed how he's talking about Israel; saying publicly he doesn't think Netanyahu wants a real solution.
It's a small but extremely important shift in the rhetoric centrists and liberals are going to be hearing.
@tess Good point. I don't even think of CNN as centrist at this point, what with its current management and editorial choices. But that only makes the argument stronger.
