Mostly because Netanyahu has been souring on Biden real fast. Biden held up a delivery of bombs to Israel back in May, citing Israel's plans to bomb Rafah. Netanyahu announced he was pushing forward anyway, and there was a big public spat about it. That sort of thing has been happening since Oct 7.
I mean one could say it's all an act or something, but that strains credulity to me.
I'm not saying Biden is doing great here, I'd much prefer he take Bernie Sanders' advice on this and stop weapon deliveries altogether. But it's certainly fair to assess that Biden wants the genocide to stop, but is not doing enough to stop it.
Which is a de facto admission he knows Israel is committing war crimes with the weapons and that he has the power to stop military aid at any time.
This is Student Loans all over again where his cult says he can't do it, because he doesn't have that power. And then he does it.
Edit to add, he also released those bombs to Israel something like last week?
So your take is what. If we don't start bombing Israel ourselves we're supporting genocide? It's a real moving goalpost, almost as if no action by any president would be enough. Almost like this originated from the Trump camp like all the other misinformation.
Nothing disgusts me more than seeing how Americans find some excuse to HATE every Democrat LOVE every Republican, even over issues where the latter is lightyears worse than the former.
I'm sorry, how do you come to the conclusion that I want to bomb Gaza at all? Not everything is a partisan operation. War crimes are bad, full stop.
In 2020 the left was told to vote for Biden and pressure him. Now that he's signed the most conservative immigration policy since Operation Wetback, and is supplying a genocide, suddenly it's all, "jk we never meant for you to actually pressure him!"
You did it again. Dodging the question. Again. You KNOW there's no clean answer to the Israel situation. You're blaming Biden for walking a highwire nobody would have walked better. And you seem to know it because you won't address the question head-on.
.......and then you change topic.
So at this point, you concede that Biden is as pro-Palestine as is reasonably possible? Or are you just going to keep spreading the Russian propaganda?
I answered your grade school attempt to box me in with an assumed premise. And better would be to at the very least, condition military aid on the effective distribution of food aid to Gazans.
It's not the leaks, it's the fact that Anthony Blinken has been holding talks in Cairo to try and negotiate a peace settlement.
