    Biden never said there would be a ceasefire on Monday. He said he there was hope to have one then.
    Some how naive people believe that a country that would attack the US would listen to Biden.

      Al these mooks here acting like Biden can wave his hand and instantly stop Israel are ignorant at best or political operators at worst.

        He can stop selling Netanyahu weapons. He can stop going to bat for Netanyahu at the UN.

        That might not stop the genocide, but we’d no longer be party to it.

      More accurately though the Hamas faction promised to bring an accurate count of still alive hostages to the negotiations and then reneged on that promise.

        That clearly requires shooting starving people who are trying to get to food.

          So your argument is that they should just ignore the hostages taken?

            I’m saying that they shouldn’t be shooting starving people who are trying to get food. Not sure why you think shooting starving people is gonna get hostages released.

              I don’t like that there was a stampede. But I’m going to blame the aggressors in the conflict for not preparing for a war they started.

                Don’t pollute my inbox with genocide apologia again. Starving people trying to get food are not aggressors.

      but surely everyone understands that there is nothing that the “Worlds Most Powerful Nation”®™ could possibly do in this… unfortunate situation.

        Guys, what more could Biden do then making empty promises that run counter to pretty much every real life fact?

        Now let’s all forget about this and focus on Bidens next promise instead of the long list of things that turned out to be bullshit.

          This wouldn’t be a problem if Trump’s son-in-law had solved peace in the Middle-Easrlt like he promised

          If anything that is all the more reason to do what Dem voters are demanding of Biden.

            right now they believe that likely Democratic voters are all out of options. they are courting some other constituency.

              All the more reason they shouldn’t be in charge anymore…

              It didn’t work in 2016, and only worked in 2020 because people believed Biden’s promises and trump was actively in office.
