Remember when BLM heckled Bernie during 2015 campaign?
If you think Biden is your problem, wait until orange gets elected.
The difference is that Biden IS the current president and is the one that sidestepped congress to give Israel aid without many strings attached. Yeah, come November, don't choose orange, but that doesn't mean Biden shouldn't face pressure in the meantime.
And then Congress voted overwhelmingly to not attach said strings after the fact. Biden isn't the only problem here.
Biden isn’t the only problem here.
He isn't, but he's one third of the government (one half when it comes to foreign policy) and he's only been using that position to make the situation worse.

If anything increase the pressure so they actually feel threatened enough to get some progressive work done.
Problem is that the pressure of today may lead the orange man to win tomorrow.
Then maybe Biden should do something differently. It's his reelection and he claims his only reason for running is to defeat Trump.
Completely see your point, but unlike Trump, Biden might actually be movable by protest during an election year.
Granted the White House's position on Israel has already shifted considerably since their lockstep pledge of unity.
How has it shifted
Not the other guy, but there's been some posts on lemmy saying some white house staff are pressuring Biden to rethink his Israel position.
There is a lot of room to hide in those words

I'll take ol' Joe over the orange cancer any day.
And trump would likely be worse. All the conservative dipshits love what Israel is doing right now.
Not likely, he will be exponentially worse.
Probably. At least Biden has the ability to understand the criticism.
They sure do. Some of them are even Republicans.
This argument is an insult to all voters.
Unfortunately, it's the game you are living in

Biden vs Trump should not prevent our pressure against entirely avoidable deaths
“Hey hey LBJ, LBJ! How many kids did you killed today?”
All it takes for Biden is to openly criticize Israel and stop selling them weapons (at least so that we won’t know it’s him) for like two months before everyone forgets. But no. Really shows how deep Israel’s dick is in US’s asshole.
If he says anything against Israel or stops aid, he'll be an "antisemite" and be attacked for that. The Israeli lobby has power and money, and they don't screw around. Plus, the media is dogshit and will never not attack Biden because it's "balanced" news.
Advising from the position of a friend is much more fruitful than advising as an enemy. I think Biden is wasting his time with Bibi. But it is an otherwise sound strategy. The genocide would have continued uninterrupted regardless what Biden did. What he did is definitely not a great look optically though for sure.
