However, the Biden Admin won't listen and only 10% of Congress is backing a ceasefire. The real problem here is a breakdown in representative democracy.

Take a poll whether they support having to sit in traffic while these idiots break the law without law enforcement enforcing the law. Bet it’s closer to 100% against. Frankly Israel is a sovereign nation and we have nothing to say about a cease fire.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
A sovereign nation we have lots of sway over, and civilian casualties are everyone’s: concern.
@GoofyBatIndependence4mos4MO
the real problem is hamas didn’t agree to the last ceasefire offer and broke the last one by stopping the release of hostages
@RebelScum76Constitution4mos4MO
Yeah, and I'm sure that number is going to sky-rocket as conservatives flock to the cause of the same boneheads who blocked major bridges, created massive traffic jams, and stole thousands of collective hours of New Yorkers' time. That right there is a WINNING tactic – make your enemies hate you even more than they already do. Though I disagree with these people, I have to give them credit for the TACTICAL BRILLIANCE and POLITICAL GENIUS.

Dang, I thought I was the only sarcastic liberty-lover on this platform ... but points to you for a well-crafted comeback!
I've seen those polls too. Different margins on each poll. I don't think most Americans understand what a ceasefire would mean in this context. It's easy to say you support the end of a war. We all want that. But a ceasefire = Hamas victory and a chance for them to recalibrate.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Hamas is drastically weakened, and Israel can blister their defenses too. Create strong blockades over conquered areas, sweep the new area, feed and help civilians, then keep watch, but they’ve done ENOUGH killing.
