Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Taking from my comment on the other community where you posted this:

Biden asked for one and reported Netanyahu said no.

The headline sounds like he’s just dismissing his staffers

You mean the headline is intentionally misleading to the point of misinforming people?

It's straight up journalistic malpractice the way they phrased it

"Ok then stop sending bombs and using reaper drones to help them perform mass killings"

"No can do chief, Bibi told me I need to keep doing all that."

Considering the power that the US has over Israel, he pretty much is just dismissing his staffers.

It's almost like the US isn't technically a combatant here.

In just over a month, Israeli bombing has killed nearly 11,000 people in Gaza and displaced more than 70% of the territory's population.

Jesus wept.

Yeah. Israel needs land. A ceasefire would prevent that.
