I fully get what you are saying, and I wish I believed that we had the leverage that you think we do. But, I think Netanyahu actively wants Trump in power, and I don't think Biden has the power or ability to really do anything to stop him. It's not just Netanyahu either, it's Putin, Farage, Erdogan, Meloni, Le Pen, Orban, and all the other conservative/fascist leaders out there. And as bad as Biden is, a Trump victory is 10x worse. I don't think Netanyahu would have pulled any of this shit if there was no chance for Trump. I honestly think that by threatening Biden, you just emboldened Netanyahu to do even worse. The greater the atrocities that get committed, the more likely that Trump wins, then he'll have free reign to really do whatever he wants. Sounds like a win-win for Netanyahu.

I don't think he has the willingness to stop selling weapons to Netanyahu.
