    But if you think that the occupation government can stand by itself without US intervention and aid for every second, then no, that is just not true.

    Congress writes legislation not the President. Nice try, if several others didn’t try the same argument before you.

      Yes, I already mentioned that:

      Maybe you’re betting that this is beyond the president (as it has always been in the US)

      Still, the president pushing against the occupation would be far from futile.

        If I was an IDF General and you told me to ceasefire. I’d first ask you for what. After you told me nothing, I’d tell you to piss off. They have conditioned the battlefield, split Gaza in two and engaging Hamas directly and you want them to withdraw 100k troops and give Hamas time to regroup.

          First of all you’re taking the word of the IDF for what’s going on in the invasion, which Is great, they’ve shown their reliability time and time again.

          Anyways, as the president of the US you don’t talk to an IDF “general” who probably doesn’t have control over his own ass. If you want to do any kind of talking you direct it to the big clown.

          If that doesn’t work start by pulling your troops from there, then start pulling the dandy stuff you’ve been sending as intimidation, and let things flow for a while.

            There are many embedded journalists.

            No you don’t, but that would be the reaction he would get for the guy who has half a million troops in the field.

            You have no idea what you are talking about.
