Good. Keep saying shit like that and hopefully Biden will get fed up and actually turn against Israel.

God, imagine our 40 year fellatio of Israel being ended because a couple of Israeli politicians were not just genocidal, but genocidal and assholes to their allies.
A man can dream.
"40 year" man, Israel has been the 51st state since at least the 70s.
The US needs to condemn Israel because of the atrocities it's committing - the fact that those haven't been convincing enough is horrific. And the idea of hoping for a reactionary policy change because a single poor excuse for a human being was showboating? Somehow that's even more terrifying than just having a military-industrial economy making strategic genocide-supporting decisions.
Perpetual war is how the US maintains hegemony. They have no interest in stopping Israel, because it both pays the US ruling class and keeps the wealthy Islamic nations busy spending money on keeping their own people alive and borders intact. If you and other Americans want your government to condemn genocide, you're going to have to do more than hope Ben-Gvir is irritating enough. Because the entire US economy banks on this continuing.

Perhaps some more familiar packaging would be more to your taste:
The US enjoys its positioning as a global leader by addressing security challenges using strategic partnerships with the goal of ensuring freedom and bolstering regional security and prosperity. To stop providing strategic support to Israel would compromise their historic friendship, their good economic relations, and an integrated Middle East.
Phrasing credit to the US justice department's 1999 memo on the Agreement Between The Government Of The United States Of America And The Government Of The State Of Israel Regarding The Application Of Their Competition Laws and the 2023 Announcement of "Operation Prosperity Guardian".
Condemn, sanction, and occupy Israel if that's what it takes.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, who was literally convicted of supporting terrorists. For some reason my search of the article gets no hits for "terror" or "convicted". Instead he's just "far-right".
Man orchestrating a genocide upset that he's being pushed to do it slower.
That's a case of biting the Military Industrial Complex that feeds you.
Itamar Ben-Gvir is a terrorist.
One of the people in the mix for a top slot is Itamar Ben-Gvir, set to be named national security minister — a job that could include overseeing some police activity in the occupied West Bank, which is home to millions of Palestinians. Ben-Gvir has previously been convicted of racist incitement against Arabs and of backing a terrorist group.
Biden’s strategy for a far-right Israel: Lay it all on Bibi, December 20, 2022
Stop all support of Israel. Stop all funds to Israel. Refuse entry to all Israeli passport holders. Deport Israeli visa holders. Arrest and imprison all MOSSAD agents in the US. Seize and forfeit all US assets held in full or in part by Israeli citizens. Israel is an illegitimate terrorist state.
On one hand, I hope that he becomes rude to Biden to the point that the US withdraws support. On the other hand, he knows that his commentary boosts Trump voters, which could lead to Biden having to bite his tongue, or edge a Trump win. This is an increasingly crap time on earth.
Ben-Gvir will be removed from the cabinet before anyone allows him to seriously jeopardize Israel’s relationship with the US. There is far too much money at stake.
What an absolute turd.
Take every bit of aid and weaponry currently going to Israel and Egypt and give it to the Palestinians. Only then will Israel learn how to negotiate.
Biden will support Israel no matter what, he's been saying it publicly for 60 years, so Israel doesn't give two shits about Biden.
