Biden can just force a ceasefire any time he wants by just telling Israel he’ll cut off funding and arms and intel.
And if they don’t listen and try to do their thing (genocide) anyways while being completely cut off for months and months, well that will be when it might be okay to say “genocide Joe did eventually try to rein it in a little”.
It’s not up to Biden, he’s just the representative.
The bourgeoisie are all behind Israel. Find me a corporation that puts up both Ukraine and Palestinian flags. You can’t.
The bourgeoisie want a war and Biden will give it to them. If not, they will find someone else who does.
I continue to be baffled by people here who think the voters somehow decide the election. No, this is a bourgeois democracy. The bourgeoisie decide who gets to run the country. Voters have no say in it whatsoever.

Not a corporation, but I did see an apartment above a corner store that had flags in every window. Palestinian, Ukrainian, that red and white Belorussian flag, Western Saharah.
While the bourgeoisie are of course the ruling class, and this includes power over the state, the mechanisms they use allow for someone like Biden to easily do what I mentioned. His rabid Zionism is a major factor in how this is playing out. Biden the rabid Zionist is in office because of the bourgeoisie, as an example for how they exert power. But he could withhold much from the Israeli project and only a minority of the ruling class would whine about it - those with major investments in Israel.
The bourgeoisie want a war and Biden will give it to them. If not, they will find someone else who does.
If you’re president and the bourgeoisie ask you to support a genocide, the bare minimum response is to refuse and dare them to JFK you. Even if Biden was personally opposed to this (and he isn’t), he’d get no credit for spinelessly caving.

Least confused flag haver.

That’s why he’s the president.
