Yea in certain respects he is worse. Such as recognition of Jerusalem as capital, recognition of Golan Heights, Abraham accords etc. But in terms of sending arms, he is just the same.

Biden isn't even acting in his best interest right now as is shown by how Reagan dealt with Israel.

Over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris called for an immediate ceasefire; such new pressure from the Biden administration appears to be working, as Israel and Hamas now seem closer to an agreement.

She called for a 6 week temporary ceasefire, not the same.

Trump would never face such pro-Palestinian pressure from within the Republican Party. He and his MAGA cult of Christian nationalists would never force Israel to accept a ceasefire — or a Palestinian state. Mast has harshly attacked Biden for continuing to support a two-state solution, dismissing the idea by saying that “a Palestinian state would be run by terrorists.”

That is true. However, he will face external pressure. See BLM protests.

Even the most fascist Governments have been forced to yield to external pressure. A good example being farmers protests in India. Hundreds of farmers died but at the end the fascist state had to give up.

There are limits to Biden’s support for Netanyahu. Trump and the Republican Party have none.

Bear hug

Also. two state solution isn't even a thing, its just a way for countries to continue working with Israel while paying lipservice to Palestinians . Israel doesn't want it as has been shown by settler attacks in the West Bank. So saying Trump doesn't want a two-state solution doesn't mean much.

If Biden was actually better than Trump he would have reversed these policies. Liberals will whine about how we have to have a consistent foreign policy from administration to administration, and then watch how Trump blew up the Iran deal. It's all bullshit
