    Bad wording, of course people want him to stop it. Not criticizing him for doing nothing maybe.

      No, like people saying “Biden could stop this today with a phone call if he wanted to”

        He probably could, netanyahu would have a hard time saying no, for one good reason. We’re supplying the weapons and money, we can end his resources for the genocide with or without his say.

          He probably could

          And yet you also think

          No ones criticizing him for not stopping it

          If you think he is capable of doing so, why wouldn’t the criticism not only exist from others on the left, but also be warranted?

            You actually just got this person to call themselves out without them even knowing.

            Bravo!

              If I’m off the mark, what IS this trying to express? In ‘good wording’, if you will.

                  The second sentence?

                  Sure. What does “Not criticizing him for doing nothing maybe.” mean?

                    Hes not an innocent bystander thats not taking action to stop this genocide. Hes taking action to cause the genocide. If he did nothing instead the genocide wouldnt have the funds and weapons to do what its doing.

            Nuclear weapons don’t really provide room to maneuver when you’re on the phone with the US President, unless you’re willing to threaten a nuclear strike on the US.

              Obviously Israel isn’t threatening the US. They’re threatening Iran
