Nothing Joe Biden has done to rein in Benjamin Netanyahu’s brutality against the people of Gaza has worked. Biden has proven too weak, indecisive, and indulgent of Israel to even induce Netanyahu into making small tweaks to his behavior.

Biden's weakness, like every other president's weakness towards Israel, her leaderss, her government, comes from fear of how their actions will be perceived.

Their biggest fear has always been, as Trump himself voiced recently, is that if you criticise Israel it's game over. The pro-Israel lobby will crucify anyone who doesn't unconditionally back Israel. Anyone. Including presidents and world leaders.

And, out of fear, those who don't want to get crucified themselves will end up standing shoulder to shoulder with those wanting a crucifixion, baying for it themselves, simply to save themselves..

Anyone who dare criticises Israel is relentlessly attacked in return, inevitably labelled anti-Semitic, called Nazi, accused of being Hitler-like. Even Jews. Even holocaust survivors.

Theirs is a relentless campaign to have critics of Israel demonised, silenced, cancelled.

It's terrorism really.

Which arguably makes the pro-Israel lobby the world's number one terrorist organisation.

And a very effective one.
