42. There were other options -- several of which WERE tried -- but in the end, Israel did not need anyone's permission...

...or assistance in doing what they were doing. That is why I asked if you were in favor of military intervention to stop Israel because that was the only way that would have put an end to it. Israel has been rebuked by the UN -- hell, Israel has been rebuked by the U.S., among many other countries. Has any of it stopped them? No, because they are a sovereign nation more than capable of doing what they have done to Gaza without the need for anyone else.

And Biden and his administration did try to negotiate a ceasefire, as well as many other humanitarian efforts to help the Palestinians. But it's now been shown that Netanyahu was just trying to run out the clock in the hopes that Trump would get elected and he would be completely free to do whatever he wanted.

Those that thought they were helping Gaza and its Palestinians by denouncing Biden's efforts and refusing to vote for Kamala, Trump and Netanyahu thank you for being their useful idiots.
