To Avoid a Wider War, Ceasefire Now in Gaza

Demands for an immediate ceasefire are growing, and, despite promises of indefinite war from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the United States, as Israel’s principal weapons provider, could shut down the bombardment with one phone call.

Did anyone else think the title implied there was a ceasefire in effect?
- Yes, it literally says "ceasefire now in Gaza". Of course it can also work as a demand, but come on!
Wider war sound real pofitable for the largest political donors, so we're fucked. No candidate from the current establishments will challenge them.
It's not called the hundreds year war because it just started recently...
"Calls in the United States for swift reprisals grow, including demands that President Biden attack Iran. Pundits are quick to point out that we are in an election year, and thus President Biden can’t let himself be perceived as a weak military leader."
No worries on that. He is perceived as a genocidal maniac.
Democrats want diplomats, not warlords.
Biden is going to lose. Bad.
- So then a egotistical fanatical maniac will be elected, who want to genocide Americans, slow clap
  
  Or neither.
  We could elect a third party.
  Biden just celebrated that write in ballots in New Hampshire are effective.
  Why cant we write in someone?... Bernie Sanders perhaps?
  He is thoroughly qualified and supports no genocides, foreign or domestic.
  Democrats might get to rig their primaries, but there is nothing that says we cant override them and elect a different Democrat at general.
  Or we could find someone completely new with no affiliation to the 2 political parties that endorse genocide and war.
