    The other piece the the equation is that he’s under pressure from the right to glass the whole of Gaza. It’s really an unwinnable bind. Save the Palestinians for a few months but throw away the last chance at elections continuing in the US, and then Palestine gets glassed anyway.

      So instead Biden will continue to support the genocide until Trump takes over.

      It’s the worst outcome for both Palestine and America, and yet the Biden administration continues to choose this horrible path.

          If Biden changes course and ends the genocide, he will not lose the Jewish people, he will only lose the Zionist people. These Zionists are a small sliver of the American electorate.

          Of course a change in position would have to be accompanied by a change in propaganda. The onesided pro-Israel rhetoric spewed by him and his press team would have to change to a humanist, anti-war stance. They could start by highlighting some of the atrocities committed by Israel instead of downplaying them. MSNBC and local news would quickly follow suit and pick up the party line. People should be talking about a mass grave with 400 bodies instead of a broken window at Columbia.

          Obviously there would be a loud backlash from prominent Zionists, but again in the big scheme of the electorate they matter very little. The current Biden strategy of forfeiting the young, the anti-war, and the Islamic demographics would be significantly worse.

          You can call this idea farfetched, but thats only because Biden is so entrenched in his position. I believe it’s the best option to save the Biden presidency and avoid a Trump second term.
