President Joe Biden and his top advisers are warning Israel with growing force that it will become increasingly difficult for it to pursue its military goals in Gaza as global outcry intensifies about the scale of humanitarian suffering there.

Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken – who departed Thursday for Israel with a message on protecting civilian lives – have all explicitly pressed the case in recent private conversations with the Israelis, telling them that eroding support will have dire strategic consequences for Israel Defense Forces operations against Hamas.

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point.

In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

There have been no signs that Israel’s offensive is slowing. The Israeli military said Thursday it is surrounding Gaza City and “deepening” its operations there. CNN witnessed the skies of Northern Gaza illuminated by flares and explosions as the bombardment intensified late Thursday night.

hope Bibi just ignores him. Israel has to do whatever it takes to eliminate hamas. That unelected illegitimate dementia addled buffoon should just shut his piehole.

Don’t Bibi’s Boyz have a microwave weapon? It would be interesting to see a Hamasi thug have a beam pointed on him and see what happens…. 2 minutes and pop.

Every single US Jew could vote r and not make any difference in national elections, at least to my understanding. They live in urban areas in dem states, for the most part. Donations to political parties might make a difference, though...but who knows.
I wouldn't go that far. A lot of Jews live in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. And Jews live in many suburbs.
Also, liberal Jews not voting and not donating to Democrats would make a big difference
