Idk, some old guy who's not on the ballot. Do you know who's calling Netanyahu every day to undermine the current administration's ceasefire efforts?
Ceasefire efforts? Is that what you call vetoing ceasefire at the UN twice?
The "ceasefire" efforts are a bad faith smokescreen. If you follow the claimed contents of the "ceasefire" they are pushing, it is actually conditions of surrender. The purpose of their "ceasefire" propaganda was to coopt the "ceasefire now" rhetoric of those opposed to genocide. Just to inflate my ego a little, I fought very hard locally to avoid ceasefire rhetoric because I knew it was weak and easy to coopt. I, along with my orgs, successfully promoted that we demand an arms embargo instead, and that is the more durable demand being made by these groups (I probably only had a minor impact on this outside where I live).
Anyways, one clue for how the "ceasefire" line is bullshit is that Israel has assassinated the people they were allegedly negotiating with, to Biden-Harris applause.
