I've read The Guardian article about the situation, and what stuck out to me was this:

The US president, Joe Biden, said he was aware of Israel’s plans to launch an operation into Lebanon as he urged against such a move. “I’m more aware than you might know and I’m comfortable with them stopping,” he told reporters at the White House. “We should have a ceasefire now.”

Thank you Biden, just wag your finger and keep feeling "comfortable with them stopping", that is ought to give you some moral victory points which is all that matters (and not thousands of civilians being killed by Israel that's funded by US).

the worst part is that Biden saying that is like the most you'll ever hear any american politician say. Thats "Radical" to them. "Hey maybe don't invade lebanon" "omg are you an antisemite?"

i had to listen to an absolutely unhinged dude yesterday, who thinks biden/kamala not saying "KILL THEM ALL KILL KILL KILL GO BIBI GO KILL" means they're going to "betray" israel...

it was bad.
