The United States and the rest of the United Nations members must impose an arms ban and an economic embargo on Israel, that includes sanctions on companies doing business with Israel, a ban on all Israeli-origin imports, sanctions on Israeli financial institutions, and a total ban on selling aircraft or repair parts to Israeli aviation companies.
The Israeli government, its officials, as well as members of the IDF need to be placed on the official blacklist of the Financial Action Task Force.
European here. YES, I AM PISSED. And Europe was never Israel's fan to begin with, unlike the US.

True, but it didn't help that the Biden Administration drained a third of the SPR because they didn't want a spike in gas prices in the run-up to the 2022 mid-terms. I seem to recall hearing how brilliant it was to buy-low, sell-high as if that was the purpose of the SPR.
Well Trump did not refill it when oil was cheap. So it’s Trump fault.
Trump had been gradually refilling the SPR before he was stupid enough to start the war.

lol sure dude! Trump is the best! If only Trump had been president none of this would have happened. It is Biden and Obama’s fault and Carter. Trump is so smart. Wish he was president now.
Just because Trump's by far the worst President we've ever had, that doesn't absolve Biden's misuse of the SPR for political reasons.
Biden's use of the SPR netted the country "a profit of about $3.5 billion."
How is this even up as a criticism?

The Biden Administration inherited a reserve with about 650 M barrels and left it with less than 400 M. At a withdrawal rate of 4 M barrels per day, that's more than 50 days of strategic cushion that was wasted on the "profit".
If Biden left it in such bad shape, then Trump shouldn't have started a war that would make it even worse.
Why didn't Trump refill when the prices were low?
