    You mean the two state solution that’s been proposed for multiple decades that both parties can not and will not agree on? Yeah this time will definitely be different! Telling someone something isn’t direct action. Denying all attempts at funding and weapon sales is direct action. Being the president he has the direct ability to do both.

    According to you watching a murder and quietly saying “stop that…” is dIrECt ACtiOn.

      No, you’re making things up that are not close to accurate.

      Action is action. Biden is directly telling netanyahu that he’s not going to support an extended war after netanyahu claimed he was going to extend the war.

      A direct contradiction is direct action.

      He can take more extreme action and risk losing the only ally that’s keeping stability in that region and therefore losing any control over the situation, but given that he’s the commander chief of the most powerful and extensive military force and allied coalition in the world, Biden is mtaking a more prudent and calculated diplomatic course to ameliorate the severity of the war than you are focusing on.
