Thank you for the nuanced critique of President Biden's role in the Israeli/Hamas war. I suspected there was more going on behind the scenes. Palestinian self-determination is an important outcome.

I also suspected that the corrupt & desperate Netanyahu simply ignores Biden. He doesn't care much about US financial support. If Biden had leverage in this area, I believe he would use it.

The killing/genocide of Palestinian people is horrendous and criminal. It must stop. And I hope Biden's reelection chances are not harmed too much. He is playing a thankless role in this conflict.

While there is limited media coverage of what is happening with Biden's negotiations here - see links - it is overall quite limited and the social media discussion gets polarized into Biden being a full-throated supporter of Israel when the reality is far more complicated. But complication is not what social media does.
