Now progressives, who remain critical of the U.S. stance in the war, have to navigate pushing Biden their way immediately after he brokered the greatest diplomatic breakthrough of the early 50-day conflict.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of Biden’s most strident critics in favor of a cease-fire, was not satisfied with the pause in fighting and pointed to the toll of Palestinians killed or displaced in Gaza. She was among two-dozen lawmakers who, in a letter last week, urged Biden to establish a cease-fire.
“A temporary pause in the violence is not enough. We must move with urgency to save as many lives as possible and achieve a permanent cease-fire agreement,” she said in a statement Tuesday.
“When this short-term agreement expires, the bombing of innocent civilians will continue. We need a permanent cease-fire that saves lives, brings all the hostages and those arbitrarily detained home, and puts an end to this horrific violence.”

Turns out stopping a genocide is better than pausing a genocide
@TurtleDuke6mos6MO
There are over 9 times as many Palestinians as there were in 1947. If we keep having genocides like this, we're gonna end up overpopulating the Earth really damn quick.
@PorcupineGrace6mos6MO
Wow how dare the Palestinians stay resilient under oppression! Why won’t they just sit down and die!!!
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
Your sarcasm is not appreciated
@Pr0gressiveRoy6mos6MO
If the U.S. had killed 5000 children in a month during ANY of its wars - the international outcry would have been deafening and still echoing. Why is it O.K. for Israel?
Think about that.
@9H5YYRN6mos6MO
Israel should occupy Gaza peacefully and give it back to palestine
@9H662GFIndependent6mos6MO
No ceasefire until all hostages are released.
There should be a two state solution brokered
@9H65FSB6mos6MO
Israel has a right to defend itself
@9H64TS86mos6MO
it's crazy to think that our wrold is is filled with violence, and with this that they don't call cease-fire it unforgivable
@9H64D7P6mos6MO
I agree with progressives on this topic
@9H5ZQ466mos6MO
The civilians of Palestine are being subjected to genocide and our lawmakers should be demanding that the false state of Israel give Palestinians their homeland back.
@9H5ZHTB6mos6MO
I want peace, freedom and prosperity for all people in Israel and Gaza, both jewish and palestinians. In the same tine, I think this is a great oportunity to use restaurative justice in an international human rights tribunal, NOT retributive justice.
