    Biden asked for one and reported Netanyahu said no.

    The headline sounds like he’s just dismissing his staffers

      Then sanction Israel, they are operating free of consequences while we all watch genocide take place. At this point supplying weapons to them or Hamas is a coin flip. They will both use them to conduct atrocities.

          Biden knows, like Trump, he can do anything he likes because voters will keep coming back. That lesser evil has become so huge, the lemmings will overlook genocide to support team blue.

          The whole ‘push him left’ after the election’ hasn’t turned out so well.

      When that doesn’t work, Biden can say they tried. But right now, biden isn’t really trying at all.
