US presidential candidate, Jill Stein, says because of AIPAC’s $100 million funding of the US election, it has become '‘politically toxic’ to speak out against the genocide in Gaza.
‘If we have concerns about the right to life before birth, how about a right to life after birth,’ she said in reference to Israel’s killing of innocent children and the elderly in Gaza. US President Joe Biden 'can end this war with a phone call’, she added.
No, he can’t, because Bibi doesn’t give two shits what Biden or the Americans think.
Also because he can’t withhold any economic/military aid that Congress has approved to be sent.
Bibi relies on Biden to veto any United Nations action against Israel.
Bibi couldn’t do what he’s doing if he didn’t know Biden is on his side.
Reagan did it with one phone call to Begin, calling the invasion of Lebanon a Holocaust. While Biden privately supported it in 1982 saying he would go further than Israel.

Biden doesn’t want the genocide to stop.
Begin was rational though. Different times, different people. That was the whole thing with the Camp David Accord under Carter.
Begin wasn’t a rational at all. He was a war criminal responsible for some of the worst massacres in 1948. Even then he was better than Biden.
And yet he sat down with Jimmy Carter and Anwar Sadat and reached an historic peace agreement.

Granted, Sadat got assassinated a few years later, but still…

Yes, the quality of leaders in the US and Israel dropped. Biden though still controls the weapon supply and US veto in the UN and have used them to serve Israel.
Israel now is also in violation of the terms of Camp David agreement. So that’s being slowly undone.
