I forget that reading comprehension isn’t a thing here.
No, Biden doesn’t really have the power to “do nothing” because, again, he isn’t King, has a loft of people of varying importance that he has to keep happy. Those people include people with close ties to Israel, staunch zionists, oil tycoons and “defence” companies that all put pressure on Biden to keep sending weapons to Israel.
And they are likely a powerful enough group to potentially sway the election. So if Biden just decided to do the moral thing and say fuck Israel, cut aid to them and accuse them of war crimes. He’s going to personally piss off that pro Israel faction and they will likely switch support to the extremely pro-Israel Trump.
So Biden will be having to weigh up making that decision, what actual benefits it will have (Israel still has a stockpile, they can buy weapons from other countries, would that just force them into a bloody ground offensive?) And wether that’s worth the potential ck sequence of those key people switching sides and possibly swaying the election for Trump who is strong anti-palestine and would undoubtedly make the situation far worse. And thinking about if he can use his position to influence Israel’s actions and help get aide into Palestine in a way that doesn’t piss off the pro Israel faction.
Please just take a breath and realise the realities of the highest stakes geo politics, is that doing the thing that obviously a good thing, ultimately might not be the best course of action.
I can read your dumb posts just fine. You sound like those people who claim that Putin just had to invade Ukraine. In case you haven’t realized it, genocide is bad, and trying to cover it up with “it’s complex” doesn’t make it any better.

Oh shit man, I never considered “genocide is bad” before.
Hey you should go tell that to the UN. You could be reasonable for world peace with such enlighten takes like that my guy!
