If by pocket, you mean the general US public. Yeah, he could call it a genocide, but that would be self-defeating, and basically handing over the keys of the White House. There simply isn't a receptive audience to hear that message, and especially not from an aging president with lots of other policy problems in an election year with an opponent only too happy to exploit bigotry and fear-mongering on this and many other issues.

Americans have been brought up to see Israel as a flawed ally in a hostile part of the world. Gutless it may be, but that's the political reality Biden has to deal with. And no one ever said he is going to be remembered in the pantheon of inspirational presidents like Lincoln.
