"If you dont stop the genocide then we will stop arming your soldiers" sounds reasonable to me.
If Israel is left vulnerable in a hostile region, it will be because of their own actions.

There is no one to vote for to help the Palestinians.
The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.
If the status quo of famine is allowed to continue, there will be no Gazans left to bomb when Trump is sworn in on Jan 2025.
Yeah, you can't just call up Israel, threaten US aid, and tell them to end hostilities: that only worked when Reagan and did it! And when HW Bush did it! /s
I dont understand this idea that the US has no leverage when we are sending Israel billions of dollars. Without US resupply, several crucial Israeli military systems would be forced to shut down.
The doctors say the government should first address pay and working conditions before trying to increase the number of physicians.
Imagine the returns if that wealth was invested in education and healthcare instead of yachts and empty luxury housing.
The Biden campaign is back to its winning strategy of hiding in the basement.
He's created many jobs in the arms industry.
You screwed up when you chose biology, the real money is in killing brown children.
Maybe NYT should question how a Zionist ideologue with no experience was put in charge of this important story, or how her uncorroborated opinion piece got past the editors and sold to the public as real news.
But of course they wont, and the damage is already done. Genocide deniers will be pointing to this discredited article in perpetuity.
This is all about the significantly wealthy, everyone else is just a rounding error.
Reagan picked up the phone and threatened Israel in 1984, and Israel immediately withdrew from their invasion of Lebanon.
HW Bush did a similar thing: call up Israel, threaten their military aid, and Israel immediately capitulated.
Why does Biden refuse to pick up the phone? Saying this solution is impractical is simply ignoring history.
If hes so afraid of the backlash, maybe he should also consider the backlash of being the only powerful nation to support this genocide. Loss of prestige and moral superiority on the world stage? Violent blowback against US troops in the region, or even worse, terrorist attacks on US civilians? And on the domestic stage, this is a huge gift to Trump.
Why is Bidem willing to sacrifice so much to continue this genocide?
Can you name a time when a party significantly shifted their platform after a loss?
Seems like "double down" is the only option they choose, at least in my lifetime.
So just keep quiet for the next 6 months as Gaza starves?
