In the speech in support of the ceasefire resolution, the Democratic Florida state representative Angie Nixon said: “We are at 10,000 dead Palestinians. How many will be enough?”

“All of them,” Michelle Salzman called in reply.

wow

The remarks came during a debate in the state legislature about calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s invasion of Gaza, which has so far killed more than 10,000 Palestinians, many of whom are children. The assault came after Hamas fighters attacked Israel from Gaza, killing at least 1,400 people and taking more than 200 hostage. ... The Florida state house later voted 104-2 to reject Nixon’s resolution.

The resolution only called for a ceasefire?

On Thursday, Joe Biden said there was “no possibility” of a ceasefire.

I'm ootl on that.

The last bit you quoted about Biden is referring to statements he made about Biden asking Netanyahu about the possibility of a ceasefire and that Bibi told Biden there is none.

Yes, there's no possibility because he's asked and was tolled no possibility.

This is the correct answer. There will be no cease fire until, at minimum, the hostages are released. The other problem that the Israelis have is that there's no evidence that Hamas has any intention of honoring a cease fire as they've willingly violated many such agreements in the past.

I don't have a strong opinion as to what the correct choice is here for Israel, I'm simply stating the facts as they relate to the possibility of a cease fire.
