Still, the top officials at State, including those who have met with Israel’s war cabinet, largely share Biden’s pro-Israel ideology, chief among them Secretary of State Antony Blinken. As Biden’s longtime aide, he pushed Biden’s pro-Israel viewpoints and continues to, to this day. The special envoy for humanitarian issues, David Satterfield, has longtime links to the Israel lobby and managed to avoid any Department of Justice prosecution for handing off confidential information to AIPAC in 2005. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew served as an informal emissary to the American Jewish community when he was Obama’s chief of staff, and Democratic Majority for Israel applauded his new appointment. Counselor Derek Chollet also worked as a senior national-security official in the Obama administration, where he shepherded advanced weapons transfers to Israel that were unprecedented. Barbara Leaf, the assistant secretary for Near Eastern affairs, hails from the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy. When she co-authored a 2020 essay about U.S. policy toward Israel, she didn’t mention Palestinians.
Biden is hugely popular in Israel, especially after his public bear hug after October 7. Inside the country, there are portraits and murals and graffiti of Biden on street corners, all coming from a place of true goodwill toward the president.
Glad to hear he's popular somewhere, I guess.
Germany to Israel: "It looks like you're trying to do a genocide. Can I help you with that? I have some experience with that sort of thing."
You aren't seeing a social engineering attack. You're seeing the same thing that you'll find on Tik Tok, Instagram, and anywhere else young progressives can be found. People are angry with Biden and for good reason. Sorry, we're not going to shut up about it. We understand that there is a lot at stake in this election. But nothing can justify looking the other way while genocide is being committed.
I truly wish Biden would take your concerns seriously enough to stop alienating a huge portion of his base with his actions.
US: Here's a bullet. Please don't use it to kill a child.
Israel: I'll do what I want.
Israel shoots a toddler.
US: Oh, why'd you do that?! Here's another bullet. This time, please only use it for legitimate self-defence.
Israel: That was self-defence.
Israel shoots a baby
Bystander: Stop that!
US: (to bystander) Mind your own business. (to Israel) Here's another bullet. Now please, no more kids.
Israel shoots pregnant mother

Is that nuanced enough for you?
You're seriously upset that I'm posting too many articles critical of US foreign policy while the US funds and arms a genocide? The only pattern you'll find in my posts is a focus on Gaza. If you'd like to see other content, post it. Lemmy needs all the content it can get.
If you supply someone with a weapon that you know will be used to kill their spouse, you will be charged with murder.
Of the last 12 articles I've posted, only 3 could be construed as negative towards Biden. If he doesn't want shitty publicity, maybe he should stop doing a genocide.

Remember, these are the ghouls that took us into Iraq. They were just running the same program on autopilot.
It's a start. We should celebrate our wins and push for more.
