What tactics has the West utilized against Russia that they have not employed against Israel?

Economic sanctions. Apply them to Israeli leadership in the military and in politics. Plus Business leaders and bankers. Prevent Israeli banking institutions "from accessing SWIFT, the international system for financial transactions, and restricting access to Western financial markets." Ban Israeli access to international goods and services import as well as export. Let's see how long their military can go without oil.

The President sends bombs that kill Palestinians and now the airdropped aid kills Palestinians as well. This is atrocious and it has to stop. - Ilhan Omar

Every western government has been complicit in this genocide. USA most of all. None of this could have occurred had it not been for the funding and the diplomatic cover provided by our governments. It's up to all of us to make it stop.

And now this genocidal apologist is talking about building some stupid pier. More theater.

70,000 meals have been dropped in Gaza over the past week, which is a small portion of what's needed considering the territory has a population of more than 2 million people.

It's theater. US could force Israel to comply and let the aid in, but instead this is a cheap trick to try and win back voters who think Biden is a failure on this issue.

There is a significant Muslim population in Michigan that is paying attention. Michigan is a swing state, if Biden loses it he probably loses the election.

Was he right about Trump in 2016 or not?

Filmmaker and Michigan native Michael Moore agreed that Biden’s stance on the ongoing slaughter in Gaza could easily cost him the state, and in turn, the entire election. In a recent interview with CNN’s Abby Phillip, Moore said “I’ve been saying this month that he’s going to cost himself the election. …If Trump has any chance, it’s the decision that [Biden’s] made to embrace slaughter, carpet bombing, babies in incubators dead because they cut off the electricity, on and on and on.”

But you won't blame the Biden administration for disregarding the wishes of their constituents?
