US President Joe Biden has suggested that Israel’s military response in Gaza has been “over the top” and said he is seeking a “sustained pause in the fighting” to help ailing Palestinian civilians.

“I’m of the view, as you know, that the conduct of the response in the Gaza Strip has been over the top,” Biden told reporters at the White House.

He added that he had been pushing for a deal to normalise Saudi Arabia-Israel relations, increased humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians and a temporary pause in fighting to allow the release of hostages taken by Hamas.

“I’m pushing very hard now to deal with this hostage ceasefire,” Biden said. “There are a lot of innocent people who are starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying, and it’s gotta stop.”

He says all that, but as long as the US is enthusiastically funding the Israeli military, nothing is going to improve.

The funding needs to stop and another main objective should be to get Netanyahu out of office and in a jail cell, otherwise he will just continue, even if sanctioned.

in a jail cell

I prefer death penalty, no imaginable thing in the world can punish him for what he has done, but we should try our best. Controversial I know, but imagine if you were a Palestinian or know someone close who was, would you believe jailing him is fair? He would be out in a few months probably as well, and the jail cell would just be a quarantine in a palace or something like that
