Time for Biden to Make Humanitarian Decisions about Israel

      There are now over 8,000 Palestinians who have died in Gaza, and it is time for a ceasefire. Genocide is happening everyday, and Israel can never win a war based on a theory or philosophy of life. You cannot destroy a belief or philosophy of life, because every day it grows bigger.

The Middle East conflict is a war that Netanyahu and Israel wants to eradicate Hamas forever, but there are millions of Palestinians who believe they have been mistreated. It is very easy for Israel to say that they will destroy Hamas, but it is extremely difficult to find someone who lives and operates among the Palestinian people.

Biden and Netanyahu have different long and short terms goals for the region, and future. The airstrikes has left catastrophic damage killing a large number of people, and wide scale casualties. There has been about 40% of children who are dying and under the age of 18, a ceasefire must be had.

Last week, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken at the United Nations said, “humanitarian pauses must be considered,” a move that Israel has rejected. “While Israel has the right – indeed, the obligation – to defend itself, the way it does so matter. It means food; water, medicine and other essential humanitarian assistance must be able to flow into Gaza and to the people who need them.”

Even though this makes sense, it does not mean that Israel will follow this statement and position. When the war started the first thing Israel did was stop the flow of water and turn off the electric. It also appeared that the airstrikes were targeted at hospitals, children locations, and refugee camps.

Nothing in this war makes sense because the Hamas is still bombing Israel, and no one is telling the truth on casualties and the amount of deaths. If the Hamas are using Palestinians as human shields, Israel does not care who they kill.

As the ground attack begins, there will be more dying on both sides. As Israel said it has killed 8,000 people, no one really knows. With the ground war, everyone is walking into a death trap. There is no wining there is only dying and genocide.

In Gaza the cell phones were turned off, and families, businesses were not able to communicate with each other.  Innocent lives were being lost or injured, and Palestinians families and businesses could not talk or reach each other.

Minimizing civilian deaths is nothing that Israel is thinking about with the start of the ground war. There will be wide scale deaths and casualties on both sides and war crimes will continue to grow. As long as innocent lives are being killed, international humanitarian laws will continual to be broken.

It is time for President Biden to denounce the killing of Israel and Hamas, and bring about a ceasefire. The White House must stop allowing Israel to commit genocide against the Palestinians still living in north Gaza.

Israel must be forced to turn on the water, electricity, food, and medicine to the Palestinians who are dying by the hundreds each day. America has allowed the violence, and international humanitarian laws to be broken, and it is time to put an end to the madness.

President Biden knows what is right, and America must cross the line of genocide, and force Israel to stop innocent lives from being killed. President Biden has the power to bring the war to a ceasefire, and improve America international and domestic political standing.

Internationally the world is looking for leadership from America and Israel will never kill all the Hamas in Gaza, and the hostages will be freed when the two territories stop bombing each other.

A ceasefire of the two countries will allow talking to each other with mediators, instead of killing each other. Killing must stop against each other, and bring sanity back to the Middle east.
