The premise of your idea, is wrong. Iran is threatening to retaliate unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire
And as you also mentioned, this has been going on for many, many months. And the context, the immediate context anyway, is a very simple one here, which is that Hezbollah has made clear, Lebanon has made clear, as other — as Iran has made clear, that as soon as there’s a ceasefire in Gaza, all of these support fronts will stop pretty much instantly. So this is the context, and in the meantime, people are just waiting for the response.
Only Israel can agree to a ceasefire. The US does not make that decision for them. Netanyahu is a war criminal dictator. You think the US withdrawing would be the end of it? Fuck no. And what do you think happens if the US withdraws support and Netandipshit doesn’t agree to a ceasefire?
I get it, you want a genocide to stop. But the thing you are arguing for (US withdrawing support) doesn’t stop the genocide. You think Israel doesn’t at least have the resources already in hand to still level Gaza? Plus, currently the US is the only country sort-of able to talk and negotiate with them, withdraw support and no one can. And again, if they are out of allies, out of options, and other countries start invading, Israel WILL use nukes. It’s not even a question in my mind. Netanyahu will do whatever he can to stay in power.
