The US isn't materially pushing for a ceasefire anyways, they are continuing to supply the genocide. The genocide isn't because of morals, as though pointing it out to the ruling class will make them swap. The genocide is because of economic reasons.

The US supports Israel unconditionally because it serves as the equivalent of an aircraft carrier in the Middle East. It solidifies the Petro-Dollar as the World Currency, which is a huge source of Imperialist profits through finanical dominance and foreign loans.

Biden's (and by extension Kamala's) "ceasefire" is a game of optics, they will do nothing to address the root cause and everything to try to get people to hush up about the genocide because the US needs a dangerous and belligerant Israel to keep other countries at bay.

This is such a tired old line based on the aircraft carrier rhetoric from the 60s, outdated since the Iraq wars and our own airbases going up all over the region.

Also the idea that Saudi Arabia trades in dollars because otherwise Israel would attack them fails to take into account that much of the rest of the world uses them too, since people like a stable currency that everyone else already likes.

You guys really need to update your rhetoric.
