I filled the post with Biden because I was talking about US policy. Under Biden. Which is applicable to the original article's premise that now the brakes are gone, when I argue they weren't there. Was I supposed to say "Kamala sent billions in aid to Israel" etc? Regardless of whether I said Kamala or Biden, the #'s and scope of the ethnic cleansing with US bipartisan complicity is the same.

I know that you have a narrative that Biden was able to suspend arms without congress or the American public raking him over the coals for it, maybe cancelling him and sending aid anyway as they did when Trump tried to hold aid for Ukraine. And that none of his piss-poor diplomatic resistance had any impact, and Kamala Harris was exactly the same and wouldn’t have formed any kind of brakes on Netanyahu, even when compared with Trump’s enthusiastic approval.

The thing is, none of that is true. For more information, you can read the article.

The article is paywalled, Biden never truly tried (he even bypassed Congress on arms deals), the diplomatic resistance was indeed piss-poor, and most of America did not agree with Biden's handling of Gaza. Especially Dems, and even more so young people and independents. Say it all you want, I'm not believing Biden was held hostage and really wanted to stop Israel. Neither his policies nor his words indicate anything but the opposite.

Yes, I’ve heard your narrative. It’s wrong. For more, figure out a way to read the article, or otherwise learn what it is saying and why from some other source.

If you just want to keep repeating what you already think, find someone else to do it at, please. I heard it the first time you typed it.

There is no way I know of to read the article. I've given several provable examples over month's worth of time for my points . You could at least provide an excerpt that would negate the preponderance of evidence I've provided.
