    The UN passed a resolution for an immediate ceasefire like a week ago…

    It did as much as Biden’s hollow words will now.

    Cut of all aid and weapons sales to Israel and they might listen, anything else won’t do anything

      I think the problem is that US invested heavily in Israel for many decads so its very difficult to do something that could result in Israel switching alliance

        You have that backwards. AIPAC has invested in US politicians for decades. The money we send there comes right back into our politician’s pockets. Biden received the most at 5 million to his campaigns.

        Then there are weapons PACs. Military-Industrial Complex has every establishment politician by their grey, short, and curlies.

        Fuck this world. Fuck the USA. Fuck Israel. Fuck this aggression on Palestinian civilians.
