I think most people who are disappointed with Biden over Gaza realize that the alternative is Donald Trump and Donald Trump would be way worse for Gaza.
Also, Biden is walking a tightrope. Most Jewish people vote for Democrats. If he loses some pro-Gaza voters, he’ll win some pro-Israel voters. And the other way around. At the end of the day, there are no winners in this conflict.
Not only about Congress. There are, and I know this is hard for Americans to grasp, other countries in the world than the US who may have a say in this matter.
That’s fine. I don’t expect Biden to do anything there. I expect him to take necessary steps to stop weapon shipments from the United States to Israel.

Yeah, but he could also stop a genocide, or at least slow it down significantly.
It isn’t just votes were talking about. It’s the genocide of a people, and Biden is supplying the guns and money for it.
I think you’re putting a lot more power in the hands of the US president than is due. It’s not his or her decision alone.
Are we though?
He went around congress to ship weapons to Israel.

Other countries have a say in whether or not the United States ships weapons to Israel?
The US is not the only stakeholder and not the only decision maker on weapons and aid.
