Nah, they’d call Jesus communist and vote for their lord and savior Satan.

Wait that far? I’d have said Reagan.
They never had the moral high ground.
However Iran is as big a threat to Israel as the average US citizen.
How so?
I know this is a massive low hanging fruit, but I’ll say it anyway. They need more people the right color.
My answer is vague because: 1-I wasn’t answering the OP, I was replying to you. 2-I don’t like to engage with the “they’re trying but it’s so so complicated” sort of genocide apologia much because it’s a pain in the ass.
I’ll just say: Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy and the easiest way to falsify a statement is counterexample, so I got you a counterexample. Now can you state exactly what different between the 1980s and today generates rhe difference we see today? If anything Israel was more important to US interests back then due to their role in the cold war. Also, state department employees, who are presumably well versed in international relations, are resigning. Your framing that only ignorant layman are angry with the Biden administration is patently false.
Edit: I forgot to mention: Drop the ad hominem. Reported.
Your list is all "says and “meets”. There’s no single “does” in this whole list, except the (pitiful) sanctions that I admittedly thought were taken down in the planning stage. Anyway, if it was as you said stats department employees wouldn’t be resigning left and right. The Biden administration wouldn’t be criticized by experts on the middle east everywhere. Your implication that the people angry at the Biden administration are ignorant laymen who don’t know better is a patently false appeal to authority. Suffice it to say that if the Biden administration wanted Israel to stop, they’d have stopped by now. Israel literally cannot exist in its current state without the United States. They do not have the economy necessary to commit two genocides at once while holding down a population of oppressed natives, and all naturalization agreements with their neigibors were quid pro quos with the United States that Israel on their own can’t sustain, let alone expand. Israel would be eaten alive by their neigibors without US support and they know it.
The naive belief that US presidents have a switch in their office that lets them turn the actions of other countries on and off is inaccurate in the extreme.
Multiple US presidents, the most famous of which is Reagan, did it. And it took a whole lot less than a year.
So to counter basically your whole point: You know how Reagan stopped the Israeli bombing of Beirut in 20 minutes with a phone call in 1982? That’s how someone who actually wants Israel to stop does it. Biden isn’t stopping them because he doesn’t want to, not because his administration is “diplomatically the US is continually trying different tactics to stem the violent efforts of a nation…”.
Don’t defend genocide support, it’s not a good look.
they’re moving way too slowly, but they aren’t moving backwards
Name one single action they’re taken other than ask Israel nicely. You said sanctions but they never actually sanctioned anyone. And the threat you’re referring to was specifically stated to not be meant as a threat.
I’d guess a sizeable bipartisan coalition within the military industrial complex sees it exactly the same way.
They did address that point.
Nope. Thanks to billions of US dollars.
OMG halal windmills where can I get them?
Is this guy a troll pretending to he a paid propaganda actor or something? I’d hope (well not really) the real thing would be more competent than… This.
Wait isn’t Ireland an EU tax haven?
That explains why their tertiary education union passed a resolution stating its members have a right to express anti-Zionist ideology.
I don’t think Israel has the ability or desire to spend money manipulating everyone’s politics. Only the US seems to be fine with it for some reason, which in part explains the difference in attitude between the EU and US over Israeli actions throughout the past year.
Egypt has a half-decent army and a peace treaty so probably impossible. The Gaza blockade also relies on Egyptian cooperation. Israel is like… That, but I don’t think even them want to return to 70s era Arab relations. Jordan has Saudi Arabia support and a peace treaty, so again no reason to rock the boat. Syria, though? Definitely on the cards. They don’t have a peace treaty and Syria is a failed stated who only have allies in Russia and Iran. The blowback will be disastrous, but Israel has proven they don’t care about that.
I mean it might be different but I don’t think so. I was calling it empty rhetoric because I (admittedly a layman) don’t see how they’d accomplish anything even if they sued.
You’re being downvoted for suddenly jumping into conspiracy theory mode instead of asking normally.
