    Wake up and what? Their demands are not achievable by Biden. He cannot as so many of the threads claim, just call up bibi and tell him to stop. Doing so would likely eliminate what little leverage a Democratic President has over the extremist right wing of Israel. It certainly would not have any desirable outcome.

      He could not bypass congress to sell weapons to israel. He could not promote bills pledging billions more to israel. He could not proudly proclaim himself a zionist on a late night talk show in support of israel while they’re carrying out genocide. He could direct the UN representative to not veto resolutions on israel.

      There’s plenty that could be done, but democrats are mighty fond of the word “can’t” unless it’s for causes that their billionaire sugar daddies want.

        Misrepresentation is still a lie. Not how any of this works. President has authority only to do as the Constitution or Congress allows, in which case there is no bypass. And following your advise would lose far more Votes than it would gain. And as the loons that have fallen for this bit of Pootie’s division propaganda are going to hold their breath until they turn blue while stamping their feet regardless of reality, unlikely to gain any significant Votes regardless.

        But please, tell us more of the very new and never heard before, “bOtHsIdEs!!11!!!”.
