    As far as I know, the Oval Office doesn’t have start/stop genocide button, or control inflation lever for that matter.

    If it’s not going to be Biden, then it will be someone else. Either a Republican or a Democrat.

    Even someone who earlier looked promising, eg Fetterman is a staunch Israel supporter.

    Because the problem is systematic. You can’t just uproot the US-Israel nexus that’s deeply entrenched in the US politics.

      True, but it DOES have the option to stop supplying bombs that they know for a fact are being used to commit that genocide.

      Your “either they can push a magic button or they’re doing all they can” dichotomy isn’t clever. It shows that you’re being either disingenuous, willfully ignorant or just extremely obtuse.

      Because the problem is systematic

      Yes, Israel is systematically wiping out the population of Gaza and the Biden White House is using the levers of the system to help them do it. That’s not an argument for not telling them to stop.

      You can’t just uproot the US-Israel nexus that’s deeply entrenched in the US politics

      You can, in fact. It worked with Apartheid South Africa, which the US also kept supporting way beyond the point that most other countries stopped, and it’ll work with THIS apartheid regime too.
