(8,808 posts)That I am a dyed in the wool Democrat and will unequivocally vote for Biden and straight Democratic ticket in November.
That said, there are absolutely things Biden can do. He can enact very significant sanctions on Netanyahu and his senior cabinet members. He can enact trade embargos on all goods and services between the US and Israel. Declare all senior Israeli diplomatic core "persona non grata" except for the Israeli ambassador.
On the more extreme measures he could take, while he may not be able to stop military aid ordered by Congress he can order restrictions on any parts or materials they may need to maintain and support that equipment.
Also a extreme response but he could order US Marines into Gaza to distribute food assistance and escort aid workers to prevent anymore "mistakes".
Also extreme, he could potentially declare Israel a terrorist state which would, legally speaking, allow him to stop military aid.
While all my suggestions are unlikely, I make them to show that there is absolutely things Biden could potentially do convince Israel to change how it is conducting this war.
