"For months, Netanyahu and his government have consistently ignored American counsel as to how to prosecute the war in Gaza against Hamas after the Oct. 7 terror attacks. Biden and his aides were repeatedly frustrated by Israel’s widening war aims within Gaza — with a devastating impact on Palestinian civilians — even at the cost of a deal to free the remaining hostages.
Biden deemed Israel’s response “over the top” and did stop one shipment of American arms to Israel. But even as pressure grew from fellow Democrats to create distance from Netanyahu, Biden’s reflexive instinct was to support Israel despite the swelling humanitarian crisis. As his influence over Netanyahu shrunk, the president’s anger grew. Phone calls between the two men were increasingly turned into shouting matches, according to one of the officials and one other senior official not authorized to discuss private conversations. Biden told confidants that he did not believe his Israeli counterpart wanted a cease-fire deal, arguing that Netanyahu was trying to perpetuate the conflict to save his political future and assist Trump in November’s election, the officials said."
Biden tried so hard to stop it, he even made sure to keep sending guns to Netanyahu
When the genocide first started, Biden really put his foot down and immediately gave Israel 26 billion dollars.
When that didn’t work he told us he was working on a peace treaty.
Netanyahu told Biden to fuck off and that Israel will kill whoever it wants.
That apparently really made Biden angry, so he offered them a few more Billions in aid. He was so angry he bypassed congress to fast track these billions, that’s how angry he was.

Didn’t he try to block shipments to Israel back in May, but Congress smacked that down saying that they’re the ones who make that decision?
That is correct. Good luck having anyone tell you about it though, it’s all “genocide Joe” all the way down.
