    Damn, everything he could for you like checks notes funding a genocide while the number of homeless rises at double digits percent each year. If that’s the best a president can do, you need a change of system NOW

      I wouldn’t give him straight As, but I acknowledge he tried his best. Netanyahu felt pressured enough to come over and beg US Congress directly to stop restricting weapons shipments. Biden sent a naval fleet to provide aid to Gaza directly, even going so far as to construct a pier for shipments.

      Losing Israel as a strategic base of operations amid aggression from Iran allied with Russia and China amid their aggressive expansion was simply never an option.

      On several occasions white house staffers gave statements that Biden would swear expletives at the Israeli administration for doing high profile attacks on civilian encampments.

      The USA vetoed many ceasefire agreements in the UN but also had their own ceasefire agreements vetoed by Russia and China.

        the problem with that argument is Israel doesn’t give a goddamn about Russia and China, or the West, and their conflict with Russia and China. they wont take a side against them, they wont do anything other than work to secure their own position in the Levant.

        Ukraine has been asking for Israeli help since day 1 and Israel has left them on read. Israel doesn’t give a fuck about what anyone does in the world, only about what they can do for Israel, Israel isn’t an ally. its basically a co-belligerent with a supremely effective lobbyist movement.

        My man here pulling out every trick to minimise the support with billions of dollars to a genocide. “Poor wittle Joe, the president of the most powerful country in the world, had no alternative but to send millions to genocide. But he cursed while doing so, so it’s OK actually”. Fuck that shit

            Dude. The genocide has been ongoing during Biden administration, stop finding excuses, and “orange man worse”, we know that Trump sucks, that’s not a defense of a genocide supporter
