      It’s absolutely braindead to attribute this to Biden and it’s not reasonable to think anyone would actually believe that.

        It’s not and it is. Biden has been going all out for Israeli support, even going so far as to bypass congress. Meanwhile Ukraine are still begging for US aid so they don’t get conquered by Russia.

            I know that, but Biden is going above and beyond what’s “customary”, so to speak. There are past examples of US presidents taking action to stop Israeli atrocities, including Reagan (yes, Reagan). And no, Biden’s “please would you do your genocide a little more quietly” doesn’t count as action when he’s still overriding congress to fund them.
