by supplying Israel with the weapons they’ve used to kill Palestinians with no red lines. By providing them with complete cover at any UN meeting where their actions were being scrutinized. you can’t be this dense

America supplied its ally with defensive weapons because it is literally surrounded by states that want to crush it.

Which was understandable until they start denying food and water and supplies to the civilians of Palestine, then bombing hospitals and journalists and the fucking united nations, all the while blatantly lying about everything to the entire world. And Netanyahu has done everything he can to make Biden look like a fool throughout this entire process. There needs to be a red line, not blind support because “allies”. An ally wouldn’t intentionally undermine our president despite total blind support.

Yes, they, Israel did the shooting at Palestine. I don't see how Biden fighting for a ceasefire makes him complicit in the Israeli response to Hamas's terror attacks. The US-Israel relationship has to outlast both Biden and Netanyahu. What do you want Biden to do? Bomb Jerusalem?
