do you think the US president has control over whether or not a ceasefire happens on the other side of the planet

we've sent them something like 700 arms shipments since october? we usually sanction governments that are committing genocide, too.

Yes. The zionist entity is fully dependent on the US empire. Economically, militarily, geopolitically. If Biden said, "stop genocide or we will cut off all your aid and disavow you" they would have to stop either willingly or their neighbours would force them to.

Yes, ask Reagan or Bush Sr who both controlled this rabid dog. You say you'll take away their weapons, they stop. It's a client state, not an ally as the relationship is by all measures entirely one-sided.

It's best to think of Israel as a 51st US state, and the president of the US ordering the war.
