(11,230 posts)For Bibi, slaughter of Palestinian civilians is the goal - not collateral damage. Bibi also desperately wants Trump to win the election.
President Biden is in a bind. Most Americans support Israel in its existential struggle against Hamas. A much smaller number is concerned about the killing of Palestinians. The problem is those few people hold Biden responsible for Bibi's use of US weapons to kill Palestinians AND Biden needs those same few people in the election.
Bibi needs the war in order to stay in office and out of prison. Hamas also has no incentive for peace. It is unconcerned about civilian deaths, whether Israeli or Palestinians - it's only objective is war.
I don't see the answer but President Biden and his advisors are smarter than I. An answer must be found quickly.
